I really like the old town itself: it is beautiful, colorful, cozy, many pleasant shops, cafes, a port, an embankment, a bay .., it is not Turkey in the usual sense (it somehow reminded Croatia, Zadar). The gate is one of the main attractions of this place, as well as the minaret, the port and the square.., just walking around the old town has a purpose)) you come, you look, you see crowds of tourists, and you quickly turn into the first curved, quiet and cozy street you come across. Mission accomplished)) 🙏 moving on, hanging out in a cafe 🍹☕️ and watching passers-by from all over the world! High 😍
The business card of Antalya, the entrance to the old town, many ancient streets where you can get lost and take a million beautiful photos, it's better to download offline maps earlier, the prices in the cafe are the same as in the city, the fortress borders the seaport from where you can take a sightseeing tour of the sea, while waiting for the start of the walk you can eat fresh fish grilled fish, the price is about 500 lira per dish, there is a free glass elevator from the port to the fortress wall, there are especially a lot of people after lunch, the fortress is about 2 thousand years old.
An interesting monument of ancient architecture of the Roman Empire. It is very well preserved. It's nice to be in this Murat Pasha neighborhood, which looks like old Jerusalem.
Visiting this area changes the way you think about Antalya. I recommend visiting this place and admiring the sea from the observation deck.
A wonderful piece of history, inscribed in the modern urban landscape.
There are a lot of people. From them you can walk down to Marmaletto beach. It is paid for something like 1000 rubles per person. Cramped but interesting)
Below there are old streets with shops and shops.
We went to Antalya by rental car from Side. 35-40 euros per day. The gasoline is your own.
You can drive, the rules are like ours, there are a lot of pointers, everything is OK on the navigator.
There is nowhere to park in the area of these gates. We drove a little lower, to Antalya Park, and then parked.
Then we walked through the park to the sea, where there is a very high steep bank and there is no access to the water... Let's go to the right... we walked along the shore and reached the bolshoy cafe and through it the entrance to the beach... Or back to the gate
The historical part of Antalya, we can say that the entrance to the old town! Everything is in good renovated condition, shops, small shops and mini tourist shops mostly! Of course, souvenirs are everywhere!
The old part of the mountains. Antalya is very interesting. It occupies a large area on the Mediterranean coast. Rocky mountains adorn the distance. The water is surprisingly clean, swimming in early November is a pleasure. This is a place worth visiting.
A cool gate through which you enter the old town and wandering through the narrow, beautiful tourist streets, you can access the fascinating embankment.
And in the evening, musicians periodically play and sing at the gate, I was lucky to listen to a young and very talented singer)
A beautiful place with pleasant streets of the old town. There are many souvenir shops and junk shops. If you go there by car, then parking will be a problem) I walked 15 minutes from the parking spot but it was worth it. Be sure to eat at some cafe in the old town and go to the mosque.
Hadrian's Gate impressed with its grandeur, power and architecture. It was February 22nd, there weren't many tourists, I really liked it. I recommend definitely visiting this place.
A wonderful example of an ancient gate, well preserved because in the Byzantine period they did not favor their triumphant significance in the Roman perception of it and simply sealed up with stones as part of the wall. In general, the old city of Antalya is a pleasant discovery, I thought it was just a transit point on the way to more interesting parts of the Turkish Mediterranean, but it turned out that you can take yourself a walk for the whole day. I recommend an examination.
Amazing gates! Power, architecture, it's very exciting to be there, strong energy, as you come into contact with history! I walked under them and made a wish, I hope it will come true!💫
An interesting tour, it's worth going if the hotel is nearby. And it's better not in the heat. We were in October, walked around the city in comfort. The place is very atmospheric, but all the charm will open in the evening, when all the Cafes open under the open sky, musicians will appear. The young people of our group stayed there, they got to the hotel by taxi. One of the advantages is a very good guide, an interesting story about the history of this place, about traditions in everyday life and crafts. Minus the excursion-we ran very quickly, one view point and did not give any free time at all, but there is something to see. The tour costs $ 29.
The place is strange, you need to know the history to be impressed.
Antalya's old town, which begins outside the gate, has retained its architecture. It is pedestrian-friendly with narrow streets. Houses with a stone lower floor and a second floor extending into the street. The first floors are cafes, hotels and souvenir shops. Going down you will get to the port of Antalya. There are several pleasure yachts in the port, but no large ships there. There are also viewing platforms with views of the sea and mountains-it's very beautiful.
Beautiful antique gate (partially restored), the entrance to the Old Town of Antalya, a place of attraction for tourists and local weddings. We were interested in the depressions on the slab of the central arch, which are very similar to the traces of wagons that have been passing there for centuries, it is impressive and gives a true idea of the time of the gate's existence.
The structure is impressive! Majestic, beautiful decoration is preserved. It takes your breath away when you imagine how many events and human destinies have passed through time. There are crowds of tourists around, of course.
A beautiful historical place, stunning views and an interesting story. It looks impressive! The only drawback is the crowds of tourists, due to the fact that not everyone knows English, it was difficult to ask to leave for a while.
It's nice to walk around the country city in Antalya. The gate gives this place some kind of antiquity , it is an ornament of the city. You can take beautiful photos in the morning
It's beautiful, we went by ourselves first, then with an excursion. Don't buy anything nearby in the shops, there are many inexpensive places down to the sea :)
We enjoyed walking around the old town. In general, you will bypass it three times in a day for sure.. starting from the Gate, ending with the embankment and the seaport.
At the end of October, there is no sweltering heat anymore, but there are still a lot of tourists! Mostly Russians, Germans and Chinese.
Hadrian's Gate is one of the most ancient architectural landmarks. It is they who divide the city into two parts.
One is full of memories of the long—gone past, the other is full of the active life of the present. The gate leads from the busy Ataturk Cadesi highway (known locally as Ishiklar) to the old city district — Kaleici quarter.
Next to the gate there is a lively park where you can take a walk and relax from the hot sun.
There is a legend that if you walk under each of the gates and make wishes, they will definitely come true. Is it true or false, bilmiyorum))
An architectural monument of the 2nd century, in fact the oldest surviving building in Antalya, along with a fragment of the pavement of the same time! If you're lucky, you'll feel the atmosphere of that time for a moment! I definitely recommend you to visit!
It was interesting to see the landmark - the portal to the Old Town. The gate is well preserved. There are details that you want to look at. The area around is lively, especially in the evenings. There are many cafes and shops around here. It is difficult to take a picture near the gate without people. It is quite possible to do without an excursion and explore all the sights of the old city on your own.
Very beautiful!! Being around you immediately realize the magnitude of time. Such architecture makes you think about how many epochs have passed while it was just standing there.
It's a very beautiful place. I was there without a tour. I saw several tour groups. The guide told them a story, then everyone quickly took pictures and ran away. But I think it's worth sitting in this place to relax and look at the details of Adrian's Gate, there are a lot of them there.
An interesting attraction. You can see how much everything ancient has gone into the ground. The cultural layer.

A great start to a walk through the old town! There is a mosque on the territory of the old one, not far from the gate, it is also a museum, admission is free, I highly recommend visiting. Then walk to the sea, where you will have a wonderful view of the old port.
The gate was built before 130 AD in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Interesting is the track in the stone from the wagons, which has been hollowed out over a thousand years...
It's a beautiful place. The business card of Antalya. Atmospheric. Right in the center of the city, this is the entrance to the old town. We always walk there when we come to Antalya
A beautiful atmospheric place) Instagrammed) There are a lot of tourists. In the evening, a bar with wonderful interesting music is open at the gate, sometimes a DJ plays.
