3 Days in Antalya: The Perfect Weekend Itinerary

Three days is enough to see Antalya's highlights without feeling rushed, as long as you don't try to also fit in a resort stay across town. Here's a realistic plan.

Day 1: Kaleiçi Old Town

Spend the day exploring Kaleiçi on foot — Hadrian's Gate, the Clock Tower, Yivli Minaret and the old harbor. End the day with dinner at one of the marina-side restaurants below the city walls.

Day 2: Waterfalls and a Boat Tour

Visit Düden Waterfalls in the morning, then take an afternoon boat tour along the coast — a good combination of a short land excursion and a slower-paced activity for the rest of the day.

Day 3: Ancient Sites or Beach Time

Choose based on your interests: a half-day trip to Perge or Aspendos for Roman history, or a relaxed day at Konyaaltı or Lara beach if you'd rather spend your last day unwinding before departure.

This itinerary works well as a standalone city-break or as the first three days of a longer resort-focused trip — Kaleiçi and the nearby ruins are genuinely worth doing before you settle into resort mode.
