Türkiye's 34th stop, Kaleici Old Town, Antalya

🌈Attractions: Kaleici can be called Kaleici or Kaleici in Chinese, both refer to the same place. The old town of Kaleici has a long history. It existed as early as the Pergamon Empire before the Roman Empire, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. It has experienced the rule of ancient Greece, ancient Rome, Byzantium, Seljuk, Ottoman Empire and other periods, leaving behind many historical sites. Looking from a high place, the architectural style of the old city is mainly Ottoman style, with mostly two- or three-story stone buildings, red-roofed wooden structures, white walls, and ancient wooden doors and windows. The roofs are covered with ivy and flowers, and most of the streets are paved with stone slabs, winding through the old city. Influenced by Byzantium, the influence of Byzantine style can be seen in the decorative details of some buildings, such as murals and mosaics, with bright colors and exquisite patterns. The local artwork is impressive and has a striking style. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: The tram in Antalya is a more convenient means of transportation. Just get off at SMETPASA station. If you are driving there, you can park your car near Hadrian's Gate and walk all the way to the old town, which is about 1.5 kilometers. 👍️Must-see attractions: [One] Hadrian Gate: Built before 130 AD to welcome the Roman Emperor Hadrian, it is one of the landmark buildings in the old town of Carechi. [Two] Rome Harbor: Once one of the important ports in the eastern Mediterranean, it was rebuilt in the 1980s and became a yacht and tourist boat terminal. From the observation deck, you can overlook the panoramic view and take the elevator up and down. [Three] Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque: Built in the 17th century, with ancient gold carvings and beautiful domes, it is an important landmark in the old city. [Four] Bell Tower: Built in 1244, the pentagonal tower was originally part of the ancient city wall. Now it is a veritable bell tower with four clocks that look very modern. 🚩Queueing tips: There is an elevator near the Roman harbor that takes you directly from the seaside to the high observation deck. The elevator is free to use, but you usually have to wait in line for half an hour, so it is better to reserve time before queuing. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the Roman harbor. 💗Other tips: The Roman Harbor is also a good place to go out to sea. You can take a cruise ship to the sea, enjoy the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful coastal scenery, and feel the comfort of the sea breeze. You can also go to Duden Falls, where the boat will stop briefly below the waterfall and then turn back, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular view of the waterfall up close. You can also enjoy sea fishing on the boat. If the fish you catch is edible, you can ask the chef on board to cook it, and the feeling of vacation will be sublimated.
