Why you’ll love this…

The guided tour of Antalya's Old Town shows off Roman-era ruins, Ottoman architecture and more
You'll have some free time to do some shopping at the markets during your free time here, too
You'll stop outside the Yivli Minaret Mosque for a chance to take some photos of its 38-metre-tall tower
Unlike a lot of tours in Antalya, a trip to the Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall is included as standard
You'll be with a local guide the whole time, and they know the area like the back of their hand

What to expect

Thundering over cliffs into the Mediterranean, the Karpuzkaldiran waterfall is a sight to behold. They're the appetiser before heading into Antalya old town for a guided walking tour and some free time to explore. Derya, one of our expert local guides, says, "a place I always recommend is the bazaar, a great spot to soak up local culture while you browse for souvenirs. Walking through the busy lanes you can find traditional Turkish craft products like ceramics, textiles and jewellery, as well as loose tea, spices and lots of clothes and accessories."

After a photo stop by the waterfall, we'll head into Antalya old town, also known as Kaleici. You'll have an hour's guided tour through the maze of narrow streets lined with traditional Ottoman-style houses, before enjoying free time to explore. The area is full of history and culture, and there are a few standout monuments to look out for. Hadrian's Gate is an ancient Roman fortification built in honour of Emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in 130 AD, while the Yivli Minaret Mosque, dating back to the 13th century, is a fine example of Seljuk architecture and boasts an iconic redbrick fluted minaret.

If you want to grab some lunch, look out for typical Turkish dishes such as gözleme, a savoury stuffed pastry, and doner kebab. For dessert, try baklava, a sweet pastry made with layers of filo dough and honey. And if you want sea views as a side, head to harbour, where there are plenty of waterfront restaurants.

We had a brilliant time on the Antalya Old Town Tour with Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall. Our guide, Muzo, made the experience exceptional, he was friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. The tour was well-paced, interesting, and really enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks to Muzo, it ended up being one of the best days of our holiday! Highly recommend this excursion.

Our transportation to pick up fellow travellers and then the journey to our destination was safe and comfortable. The distance to the waterfall and the old town was good and didn’t feel a long time. However, the highlight of the excursion was our tour guide Dennis. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, throughout the whole day. You could ask him anything. Dennis clearly knew his craft,

It was lovely to appreciate Turkish culture, and travel out of our resort for 7hrs. Our guide, Ouzo, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about his country, it's politics and history. and understanding cost comparisons from the UK. Outside of the transfer times, we had a guided tour of the old town for about an hour, then almost 3hrs to take in the city by ourselves. A nice mix.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Le donne di Antalya, dal passato al presente

Quasi due millenni fa, Plancia Magna ha aperto la strada avendo un impatto incredibile sulla città di Perge, nonostante il ruolo solitamente passivo delle donne a quel tempo. È nata in una famiglia ricca e potente, ma invece di vivere una vita facile, ha usato i suoi privilegi a beneficio della sua città. Il suo coraggio, la sua indipendenza e il suo carattere furono celebrati molto tempo dopo la sua epoca e ispirarono le donne a cercare ruoli influenti nella società nel corso dei secoli. La tua guida formata da National Geographic racconterà l'antica città di Perge con un focus sulla vita e l'eredità di Plancia Magna, una figura d'ispirazione ancora oggi. Forse Plancia è stata una fonte di ispirazione per Hatice Adıgüzel, di cui visiterai il laboratorio in seguito. Scopri le capacità e l'abilità artistica impiegate nella creazione di lampade e ornamenti dalle zucche e impara dalla stessa Hatice ciò che distingue la sua attività: la sua leadership in un settore dominato dagli uomini, il suo impegno nell'emancipazione delle donne locali e la sua scelta di materiali sostenibili. Durante un seminario pratico, avrai l'opportunità di creare la tua zucca decorativa e di scoprire di più sul lavoro di Hatice con la comunità femminile locale. Lei offre alle donne l'opportunità di coltivare e decorare le zucche per l'azienda da casa. Preparano anche gli snack che potrai gustare durante il workshop. L'obiettivo di Hatice è quello di aiutare le donne che non sono in grado di lavorare regolarmente a causa di impegni di assistenza all'infanzia o restrizioni simili, offrendo loro un modo conveniente per guadagnare.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Esplorare la cultura nomade di Antalya

Le colline ai piedi delle montagne del Tauro sono state una regione di viaggi e commerci per millenni. National Geographic Day Tour abbraccerai le antiche tradizioni della regione che prosperano ancora oggi e ti immergerai nello stile di vita nomade facendo visita a una famiglia Yörük. Dirigiti al ponte selgiuchide ad Aspendos con la tua guida, che ti rivelerà aneddoti affascinanti sul luogo. Costruita intorno al IV secolo sulle rive del Köprüçay, questa meraviglia architettonica è rinomata per il suo caratteristico design a zigzag, testimonianza della sua storia intrigante. Visiterai anche un antico caravanserraglio, dove gran parte della disposizione originale rimane straordinariamente intatta. Torna indietro nel tempo mentre vaghi attraverso le camere della locanda, gli alloggi del guardiano, lo stabilimento balneare e la sala di preghiera insieme alla tua guida. Questo è un luogo che irradia storia, dove innumerevoli viaggiatori cercarono rifugio e rifornimento. Il popolo Yörük ha perfezionato il suo stile di vita nomade nei secoli. Ogni primavera, le comunità migrano con le loro mandrie dalle dolci pianure costiere ai pascoli montani. Trascorri del tempo con una famiglia Yörük e scopri il loro stile di vita sostenibile. Gusta un pasto delizioso con viste accattivanti sulle montagne del Tauro. Nelle vicinanze troverai un luogo dove acquistare prodotti di produzione locale come saponi, tè, oli e altro ancora. Il ricavato sostiene le comunità colpite dai recenti terremoti e incendi boschivi. Infine, esplora Ormana, un villaggio ottomano famoso per le sue "case con bottoni" realizzate con grande ingegno.
