Itinerary
Day 1
Hotel pickup and tour start
We will pick up the guest and start the Antalya city tour. Meet at your hotel's main entrance gate at the pickup time provided after booking.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready at your hotel's main entrance gate at the pickup time sent after booking; many Antalya hotels require meeting at the main gate rather than reception.
- Carry a small daypack with sunscreen and a light jacket — coastal mornings can be breezy in spring.
- Have your reservation voucher or ID accessible on your phone for the guide at pickup.
Lower Düden Waterfall (Lower Düden)
Visit the Lower Düden waterfall. The waters of the Lower Düden meet the Mediterranean through 40-meter-high cliffs — a unique coastal waterfall experience.
Tips from local experts:
- There is a paved viewing area; bring a waterproof cover for phones if you plan close-up photos from the cliffs.
- Plan for 20–30 minutes at the site to enjoy viewpoints and take photos; there are benches and shaded spots.
- Follow posted safety signs and keep children away from cliff edges; the area can be slippery from spray.
Upper Düden Waterfall (Düden Başı)
Arrive at the Upper Düden waterfall to explore the inland falls and surrounding green area.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes — paths here can include steps and short uneven stretches.
- Bring a hat and water during warm months; shaded picnic areas are nearby for short rests.
- Expect approximately 25–35 minutes for walking viewpoints and photos; follow the guide to the main viewpoints.
1-hour boat tour from Setur Antalya Marina
Embark from Setur Antalya Marina for a one-hour boat trip along the coast and harbour — a calm cruise with coastal views.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at the boarding point a few minutes early to allow time for embarkation; the guide will direct the group.
- Bring a light jacket — it can feel cooler on the water even on warm days.
- Keep cameras or phones in a secure case; small waves and spray near the marina can reach passenger decks.
Lunch and free time to explore Antalya Old Town (Kaleiçi)
Lunch at a local restaurant followed by free time to wander Antalya's Old Town: narrow streets, historic houses, small shops and the ancient harbour.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide for a recommended restaurant with a group-friendly menu; most Old Town restaurants can accommodate standard dietary requests.
- Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled streets; keep a close eye on small children as some streets are uneven.
- Use the free time to visit Hadrian's Gate steps and the old harbour promenade; set a meeting time with the guide before dispersing.
End of tour and hotel drop-off
End of the tour; guests are dropped back to their hotels or the central meeting area in Antalya.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your preferred drop-off location with the guide or driver before leaving the group.
- If you need onward transport from the drop-off point, allow extra time — traffic in central Antalya can be busy early afternoon.
- Keep personal belongings with you when leaving the tour vehicle; check pockets and bags before disembarking.

Why this experience
A group city tour of Antalya that combines waterfalls, a coastal boat trip, and Old Town exploration is an efficient, lively introduction to the city's major attractions. You'll move as a cohesive group with a professional guide who coordinates timing and handles logistics, allowing you to focus on absorbing the sights without worrying about navigation. The morning begins at Düden Waterfalls where the guide explains the water systems and seasonal variations while other group members photograph and swim if the season permits. The afternoon includes a boat cruise along the coast — a shared experience where strangers often become temporary friends, pointing out landmarks and asking the guide questions together. The Old Town walk follows, winding through Kaleiçi's narrow streets with the guide pausing to highlight historical details and point out the best photo angles. Unlike a private guide who adjusts pace to individual preference, a group tour moves with consistent rhythm and energy. This works well for solo travelers who want to meet others, families comfortable with moderate pacing, and anyone seeking the social aspect of travel. Vakare Travel Service brings you from your hotel, manages group coordination, and ensures everyone returns safely by evening.
Before you go
- Best time: Spring and autumn — warm but not extremely hot, fewer crowds than summer, and Old Town is most walkable in moderate temperatures.
- Budget: This is a group guided experience. Entry to natural sites and the boat trip are included. Lunch is typically separate unless specified in your booking.
- Difficulty: Easy to moderate. Waterfall walking involves uneven terrain. Old Town is flat but involves narrow steps. Boat is peaceful.
- What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, sandals for the boat, a light jacket, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a camera, and a water bottle. Wear layers; Old Town alleys are shaded and cool.
- Getting there: Vakare Travel Service provides round transfers from your Antalya hotel. Departure is typically morning (8:00–9:00 AM) with return by evening.
- Accessibility: Waterfalls have uneven terrain. Old Town streets are stone with stairs. Boat boarding requires stepping over a rail. Discuss needs when booking.
Frequently asked questions
How many people are typically in the group?

Do we eat lunch as part of the tour?
Lunch is typically separate and at your own cost, though the guide will suggest restaurants near the Old Town or harbor. Some tours include lunch; confirm when booking.
Is this tour better than a private guide?
Private guides offer flexibility and personalized pacing. Group tours offer social energy, lower cost, and the opportunity to meet other travelers. Choose based on your preference.
What if someone in the group is very slow or very fast?
The guide manages the group's pace as a middle ground. Faster individuals can explore ahead during free time; slower individuals can take breaks while others photograph. The guide waits at designated meeting points.
