About this experience
Join me on a journey from the Roman Empire to the Republic of Turkey! You will walk through ancient streets and see gates, towers, mosques, houses, and madrasahs. I will help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of antiquity, introduce you to the culture and traditions of the Turkish people.
What to Expect
Kaleici - 'Another Antalya'
Kaleici is a district unlike the rest of Antalya. There are no modern buildings here, but rather ancient Roman structures, colorful mosques, and towers. I will tell you how these places looked centuries ago and what modern authorities are doing to preserve the spirit of Old Turkey here. I will lead you through picturesque winding streets resembling mazes, show you remnants of the city's fortification wall, and other iconic landmarks.
City's Landmarks
You will visit Republic Square and learn why the Yivli Minaret is called 'fluted.' Discover the architectural features of the Iskele Mosque and appreciate the truncated Kesik Minaret. You will also relax in the most picturesque spot of the Old Town - Kaleici Marina. Additionally, I will show you the famous Hadrian's Gate, Hidirlik Tower, Karatay Madrasah, Mevlevihane Monastery, and share the stories associated with them. Finally, I will take you to the 50-meter cascading Duden Waterfall flowing into the Mediterranean Sea.
