Kaleici and the old harbour in three hours
A Roman gate into the walled old town, down through the lanes to the Roman harbour and the clifftop park.
Antalya's old town sits inside Roman and Ottoman walls on a cliff above its original harbour, and the whole of it is about a kilometre across. The route runs downhill to the water and finishes in the park along the clifftop, which is where the city watches the sun go down behind the mountains.
