The story of the Old Harbour

The harbour has sheltered ships since the city was founded more than 2,000 years ago, and it was the heart of Antalya's trade for centuries. Its old stone walls still rise above the water.

Today it is a marina for yachts and wooden excursion boats, some dressed up as pirate ships, that take visitors along the coast to the Düden waterfall, where the river falls straight into the sea.
