About this activity

An 8-hour guided tour combining Antalya's natural and historical highlights: a scenic waterfall stop, cable-car ascent with panoramic views, and immersive exploration of the atmospheric Old Town (Kaleiçi). A well-paced introduction to the region's landscape, Ottoman heritage, and coastal charm.

There is a stop near Düden Waterfall which is considered as one of the most noticeable places in Antalya. Take stunning pictures and share them with your family and friends. After enjoying the water breeze from the waterfall, you will be transported to a Cable car named Tünektepe.

There are plenty of local cafes and pastries, so you can enjoy meals with astonishing views.
