Antalya Old Harbor - Turkey
Antalya's Old Harbor is located in the northwest corner of the Old Town (Kaleici) so if you decided to visit the Old Town you should see the Harbor too. It is a very beautiful spot to take pictures and just to walk around this historical place. It was Antalya's lifeline from the 2nd century B.C. until late in the 20th century, when a new port was constructed about 12 km to the west. The Old Harbor was restored during the 1980s and now it is a marina for yachts and excursion boats.
Old Harbor is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, and it is my favorite place to drink tea or Turkish coffee with a great view!

Since the 2nd century BC, the Roman harbour has been Antalya's most important lifeline and was not replaced by a new port in the west until the end of the 20th century. The Roman harbour that is now seen was rebuilt in the 1980s and is now the marina for yachts and sightseeing cruises. Share a few great photo spots

Antalya, a Roman seaport facing the sea
The Mediterranean climate is neither cold nor hot, and May is also very comfortable.
It seems that there is no piercing winter, and the distant snow-capped mountains have also melted, but it is still one of the most beautiful seaside cities in Turkey, very suitable for a short stay🌴.
The Roman seaport is a free attraction in Antalya that you can't miss. Here, facing the sea with the spring in full bloom, you can enjoy the view of the harbor sails, or you can take a boat out to sea for fun.
When you have nothing to do, you can have a coffee at the open-air cafes at the port.
