Opened in 1991, Antalya Marina is a commercial harbor that is located 30 km away from Antalya International Airport at a distance of only 10 km from Antalya City Centre. Safe and peaceful, it has everything that a city can offer to its visitors and there is no fee for visiting. Steep stone steps connect Antalya Marina to Kaleici. The place welcomes you in its small cozy world where you will see splendid yachts and fishing boats side by side. Fishermen can be seen flaunting and selling their catch of the day. You can even grab a cuppa of steaming tea or coffee from the surrounding small cafes and sip in taking in the beautiful scenery. Read less
Opened in 1991, Antalya Marina is a commercial harbor that is located 30 km away from Antalya International Airport at a distance of only 10 km from Antalya City Centre. Safe and peaceful, it has everything that a city can offer to its visitors and there is no fee for visiting. Steep stone steps connect Antalya Marina to Kaleici. The place welcomes you in its small cozy world where you will see splendid yachts and fishing boats side by side. Fishermen can be seen flaunting and selling their catch of the day. You can even grab a cuppa of steaming tea or coffee from the surrounding small cafes and sip in taking in the beautiful scenery. The marina offers a short challenging hike as it is a steep hill down and not to mention the way back up! That said, you can hitch back a ride uphill with a taxi. The marina is a short walk from the old city and has an array of restaurants and cafes. The area has alleyways so you get a feel of the Turkish Mediterranean atmosphere as you pop in and out of small streets and shops, lining the area. You can go on boat trips from Antalya Marina as well as a private beach near the harbor, where you can go swimming. After a long tour round the city, it is a good idea to sit in one of the small cafes, biting into Turkish delights and looking over at the harbor and ocean. So happening and yet such a good place to relax―that is the Antalya Marina.
