I rushed to Duden Waterfall before dawn, and the mist sprayed on my face was so refreshing! Strolling along the cobblestone road in the old city, it was like traveling through time at the corner of Hadrian's Gate. Cats and dogs were more leisurely than tourists - fat cats were lying on the doorstep of antique shops, and stray dogs were snoring in the shade of churches. I squatted in the harbor with sticky pomegranate juice in my hand, watching the yachts bobbing. The sunset dyed the reefs honey-colored, and the waves came over. I was too lazy to move even though my trouser legs were wet.
Money-saving tips: Don't take a taxi if you take the bus directly to the waterfall. Bargain for 5 liras for a cup of pomegranate juice. Prepare some ham sausage for the cats in the old city - the cats are picky!
This is a must park in Antalya city. From the park you can catch the beautiful sunset view over the Mediterranean Sea.

The scenery is really good. There are many cars parked on the national road halfway up the mountain.
The original camera is already beautiful. The blue sea is very clear. The water depth is about 5 meters. You can clearly see the seabed from the water surface. It is best to wear swimming goggles. The Mediterranean Sea is very salty and hurts your eyes. You also need to take good care of your skin. If you drink a few sips of water, your mouth will be bitter.
When I went there, it was 35 liras per person, which is about 7 yuan.
A well-deserved internet celebrity beach, the color of the sea surface is different from other areas, suitable for self-driving passing by, but there are many self-driving cars, no formal parking lot, you need to park on the side of the road. The wind was very strong when I went there, but the scenery was really good.

There is an ancient Roman city-state site on the Aegean coast of Turkey, which has left behind a large number of historical architectural ruins. It is a good place to learn about ancient Roman history! Hadrian's Gate is well preserved and beautifully carved. It is the gate of the ancient Roman city-state!
The vicissitudes and desolation of Hadrian's Gate make people see the city's rich history. Hadrian's Gate is right on the edge of the old city. The pillars seem to have been built later, and the color is different from the surrounding doorways, but the ancient gate has now merged with the old city.

Kaleci is located in the harbor and is the nickname of Antalya's old town. Most of the winding streets and houses full of classical charm are well preserved here. It was a prosperous town under the rule of the ancient Romans and Byzantines, and finally became a classic ancient city representing the Ottoman Turkish era.
There is a pedestrian street near the old town of Antalya. There are many restaurants on this street, as well as many local handicrafts for sale. It is very interesting to stroll around.

Antalya Aquarium is an ocean world that is well worth visiting. Many ancient Roman ruins are imitated here. The scenes that are sunk underwater look very mysterious. In these buildings, there are many marine fish and animals swimming around, as if you have come to an ancient and mysterious underwater ruins. It is really worth seeing, so don't miss it.
Antalya Aquarium is a very mysterious aquarium. The design of the entire aquarium imitates the ruins of an ancient city in a tropical rainforest. There are grottoes, sarcophagi, shipwrecks and airplanes. Colorful marine animals swim around in these imitation mysterious scenes. It feels full of mystery and is very good.

What a beautiful city, with a different kind of tranquility, perhaps because of the history that has settled here. In fact, I don’t know much about the history of Rome, and I don’t understand some of the monuments, but I simply like the atmosphere here.
When visiting the old town of Antalya, I actually went to the harbor first.
The sea here in the Roman harbor is the Mediterranean Sea, blue and blue.
There are many cruise ships docked there, and it is not expensive at all if you calculate it by head.
At that time, I really wanted to go out on a boat for a ride, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough time.
The time for going out to sea is quite long.
There is a cafe by the harbor, where you can sit and enjoy the sea breeze, drink a beverage and enjoy the scenery.

What a wonderful museum! The Antalya Museum has beautiful and solemn historical statues, it feels like you are visiting a Greek museum
Recommended! Recommended! Recommended! There are exquisite statues from the Bronze Age, perfume bottles, oil bottles, bowls and other artifacts from 700-500 BC that are indescribably beautiful! The great ancient Greek and Roman culture is amazing! The statues in the photo are artifacts from the 2nd century AD, including Apollo and Zeus. The first photo is called "Dancing Woman". Although this sculpture is not a fairy in Greek mythology, it is definitely the most valuable one among these priceless treasures! It is carved from two different colors of marble! The head, neck and arms are white marble, and the body headdress and dance skirt are gray marble. It was made in the 2nd century AD! I feel so happy to see these with my own eyes!
