ANTALYA | TURKEY BEACHES, WATERFALLS & OLD TOWN
good morning everyone today we are in the big city of antalya and this is going to be our last stop on the mediterranean coast of turkey and right now we're in the old town so this is where we're staying in the historic center i'm going to go on a bit of a walk around here so just walking around you'll already see loads of uh historic monuments and buildings just like this one right here was open yesterday right now it's closed so this was built in 1250 the madras it's called and this is from the seljuk period i've heard of that before you can see there's some like geometrical patterns here maybe it was painted back then so from what we've seen so far the old town has been pretty much converted into one big market so pretty much everything is uh stores now hello pretty much everything is uh stores obviously hotels the place that we're staying has been converted into a hotel rugs rugs rugs so in here you're gonna get a bit of a mix of different buildings there's ottoman era mansions like this one fall into pieces that building but then you're also gonna get monuments and buildings from the roman times the byzantine times and the greek times so even right now you can already see a mix of like the old rocks that's a cool one like white painted at the at the top so come into some back alley now this looks like a spot where tourists don't really walk it's a ghost town isn't it today yeah one because it's very hot and also because it's a sunday so i don't know maybe the families are on the beach maybe that's where we we're supposed to be at right now yeah but we're going later on so today it's gonna be 38 degrees celsius in about two or three hours it's going to hit 38 degrees celsius so there's no chance that we're going to be walking around here at that time and there's zero wind today online it shows like two kilometer winds which is basically nothing wow look at that tower there ah that's the famous mosque there's an old famous mosque here from the 13th century so from many areas of the city you see this minaret here the tower and now we're in the old marina so since the historic times when the city was founded this has been used here you can see even better now the fortified walls up there and below it's just uh restaurants and shops the usual yeah there must be some major boat tours going from here because look at these boats that's like one of those 200 people boats the pirate ships we've come on top of this wall barrier now and this is where you get the best views of the marina really is a nice marina area here beautiful and then on this side there's kind of like a beach area well there's not much of a beach they put these like decks there for people to lie on i didn't even know this was here at all so even in the old town there is uh swimming spots to cool down kind of tempted actually wow the mountains look amazing don't they care yeah we drove through all those didn't we we came from that direction it's very high some of them are very high yeah this area of antalya i don't see any mountains or anything here it's one of the first areas on the coast so we haven't seen that many mountains oh yeah back there that looks incredible so the good thing here is that there is a elevator to go all the way back to the top which we definitely need right now there's a queue nobody wants to walk up not in this heat no man so that elevator was an oven it is for free though you don't have to pay carol thought we'd have to pay nothing comes for free right though no except for that elevator i still get some nice views though nice views everywhere here it seems got loads of restaurants here we can get good views too i think on both sides you get uh restaurants everywhere yeah on this side over here it's really good how preserved the walls are though isn't it yeah because it goes from here until all the way down there yeah it's like complete pretty much uh-huh yeah it looks very nice i've got loads of little planes flying around here i guess you can do that fly around in a little place so once you leave the elevator you're no longer in the old town anymore so this is the modern part of antalya really looks like a well-developed pretty much brand new city i mean everything looks like it was probably built in the last 20 years from what we've seen and we're just going to check out a few more places and then yeah i think we've got to get out of here right in this heat yeah it's very hot today yeah 38 degrees is uh approaching us cool thing about turkey is you always have these water places it's probably biling though isn't it no no no no oh that's nice from 1960 still here and this right here is a statue of the founder of antalya so that is atlas ii he was the founder greek founder during the hellenistic period 200 bc so it says here that the city was named after him he ruled for 21 years and died in 138 bc at the age of 82. so so this is going to be our final stop near the old town that is hadrian's gate and this was built to honor the roman emperor adrian when he arrived here in antalya in 1 30 a.d so this is the only original entrance that is still standing to this day extremely preserved isn't it yeah you can see the details up there yeah at the top and even inside the arches the columns you can tell are restored but i think the rest is pretty much original got the original floors as well yeah imagine getting around in these towns back then when the floors were all like this yeah not very comfortable to walk no well not even ride around right these look like tracks so don't they like some groups for their carriages or something yeah yeah look at it on the inside still super detailed as carol said especially over there you can really see the designs i always like it when uh historic sites are kind of overgrown plants growing out of it looks really cool so we've now come to a spot down the coast called lower dorden waterfalls there's the lower and there's the upper falls that you can visit we're visiting the lower one and we just got in a taxi it's meter and it was about 150 lira and that was for like 25 30 minutes so the taxi prices are good when they do uh meter so this is our first glimpse of the waterfall here we're at the top of it so it goes into the sea yeah it's going to be our first waterfall that goes into a sea i think yeah i don't think that's something very formal i've never seen it before no no yeah so this is just the top view i think we got a better view from that clip over there so so wow look at this guys so there's a rainbow as well just to make it even better yeah so this was like the thing we were looking forward to the most right yeah because it's something so unique yeah right here it's even it looks even nicer than the pictures yeah very very big especially with the turquoise water so we're at the main viewpoint now and check that out definitely the best view absolutely stunning waterfall going straight into our list of best waterfalls that we've ever seen and probably will ever see i guess and you can do boat tours here there was some from antalya probably from some other places maybe from over there and yeah then you'll get to see the waterfalls from underneath probably look even better so we just got some much needed fresh juices here for 50 each cow one for the orange and mine's pomegranate mine don't taste too good though it's like uh really sour yours is a lot better isn't it yeah i think right now we just need to go to a beach asap yeah finally we needed to do that at the beginning of the day and not do anything not do anything that we've done so far so so the beach that we've decided to come to is called cornealty beach i think it's like the most popular beach around here so it's absolutely packed the parking lot was packed too so we're just gonna check if there's a place where the beach chairs and stuff some beds because we don't want to sit on the rocks i think it's a rocky beach picnic time today girl everybody's here yeah everybody's having a picnic so there was a spot back there that you could stay but it was super loud music and all the beach beds were crammed together so didn't really want that either don't really want any music to be honest prefer the silence like over here so we're just seeing if we can get these sunbeds so it is a stony beach like we said but not big pebbles when it's big pebbles it's not good to walk on it's like mainly a little broken pebbles so it's kind of stuff so this beach club is called idyn beach club it's uh 60 lira per person and that's with the umbrella here and we're pretty close to the water as well so nice spot as you can see we're already wet we didn't even bother filming we just like ran straight in the water cooled down quickly and the drinks are for like a soda it's 19 lira around a dollar so the prices here actually seem really good so i think it's definitely a local spot well there is turkish music playing and i think pretty much everybody here is turkish i don't see any foreigners for example you can get the tabukshi that's just 60 there which is a great price to be right on the beach yeah so not bad at all you can get hamburger 70. the alcohol is more expensive though so like a cocktail here mojito 140 some
other ones are 160. and then for a beer you can get one for 55 some of the imported ones 65 70. now hmm so we have been very lazy so far probably been here almost two hours already and just been doing nothing just lying down the whole time this is a very nice beach though so i think pretty much all along the coast it's always this transparent because everywhere we've been so far there's been nice transparent water we feel bad for the guys that have to work right yeah we were talking like they've been like in the sun for the entire day and they they look very tense because they working there working i think every day probably yeah all day in the summer all day every day crazy very hard work to do so we're heading out of the beach now i mentioned about antalya being well developed so even this beach area is as well there's loads of uh restaurants everywhere everything seems pretty modern too i think we're gonna eat in town though right yeah but there are many like nice cafes and there was a place with the bubble waffle that i really liked oh that you had in uh what was it in cash i think we're gonna eat later on it's still not time to have dinner yet yeah yeah probably in the old town so check this out we were wondering how to get a taxi and there's this poster with a button i've heard a ring in the bell before but yeah not for a taxi it will work or if we need to call maybe we wait for like five minutes yeah yeah i've never seen that before though yeah so we don't really know what's going on there's been a few taxes that have stopped here empty taxes but then they said we have to wait for the one that we just pressed for here but we have no idea if that thing's even coming or how long it's going to take i don't know kyle said we should just go on one of these scooters there's one here and there's one over there on the post let's do it carol 40 minutes on one of these problem is since the sun's going down pretty much everybody's leaving right now so it's gonna be hard to get a taxi not many are passing through here either so it is night time now and we come to this street here that we ate at yesterday the umbrella street that's not the official name and i got lamb skewers this time usually i get a chicken this was 250 lira it's more expensive because it's lamb if it was chicken it'd be a lot cheaper what did you get over there it's a plate of cold starters and i also got a soup that's coming but i think this is a famous thing here in turkey i've just tried this one which is really good it's like a salad some vegetables with the mayonnaise i love this but i don't know the name it's a bit spicy but it's a very good spread and we also like this one yeah which is the mint and yogurt and what's in this you know no i'm gonna try it now i think it's uh these are grape leaves okay and there's something inside but i haven't tried it yet is that rice maybe i'm not sure yet okay it's a bit weird weird and we forgot to mention so that was 150 and carol's lentil soup came so that's 35. so we just came to this store here to get some dessert i got some ice cream for 85 raspberry and blackberry and look at the selection they have here all sorts of different desserts really unusual so it's the next morning now we're just packing up and getting ready to leave so the hotel that we stayed in is called little prince hotel and it's 47 a day it's just a little room it is a brand new place they've just constructed it got a huge tv biggest tv that we've had so far and i bought a new gopro here i got the gopro hero 9 once again 8499 lira so the previous gopro that i've been using for about a year which was also a hero 9 uh kind of broke basically the button to turn it on is jammed it's like stuck inside and there's no way to really fix it so i had to get a new one but at least it lasted a year and that's uh of heavy usage right i use it multiple times every week so yeah not so bad and then besides that in the room just got this little bathroom here but as i mentioned everything is brand new here so it's a pretty good spot includes breakfast too so that's good and we really like tantalia since it's a bigger city you have all the things like malls and stuff which i was able to buy electronics but then you also got the beaches right and yeah the waterfall was amazing and along the coast uh the places that we visited previously are not too far you can visit loads of amazing beaches so yeah it just seems like a really cool place here and the next video is going to be from pamukkali the famous pamukkali that's going to be the last video from turkey and we're about to head there right now just rent in a car and then we're going to yeah head inland to pamukkali so if you like this video just drop a like as usual to support us follow us on instagram facebook subscribe to let's see more videos like this and we'll see in the next
