安塔利亚三天行程攻略（2027）：逐日安排、费用和住宿

The best Antalya itinerary for 3 days is simple: Day 1 in the city (Kaleiçi old town, the Düden waterfalls and a boat out of the old harbour), Day 2 on the ancient sites east of town (Perge, Aspendos and Side, with the Manavgat waterfall), and Day 3 on the water, usually a Suluada boat trip. Each day runs about 8 hours with hotel pickup, and with our guided Antalya tours the three days cost from $230 per person before museum tickets.

That is the plan our guides use most often for guests who land on a Thursday night and fly out on a Sunday. It keeps driving to about four hours in total over three days, puts the ruins on the day you are freshest and saves the beach for last. Below are the timings, the travel times between stops, what each day costs in 2026 and where it makes sense to sleep.

Where to stay for 3 days in Antalya: Kaleiçi, Lara or Konyaaltı?

For a 3-day Antalya itinerary, sleep in Kaleiçi if sightseeing comes first. The old town has small boutique hotels in restored Ottoman houses, you can walk to dinner by the harbour each evening, and our tour vehicles collect from its edge without a long detour. The downsides: rooms are small, few places have a pool big enough to swim in, and the lanes are steep cobbles that are hard work with a suitcase.

Lara is the resort strip east of the city, about 20 minutes from the airport and 25 minutes from Kaleiçi. It suits families and anyone who wants a large all-inclusive with a sandy beach. It also sits on the right side of town for Day 2, since Perge is only about 15 minutes away. Konyaaltı, west of the centre, has a long pebble beach, cheaper city hotels and quick access to the Kemer road for Day 3.

Our short answer: couples on a first visit, Kaleiçi; families with children, Lara; travellers on a budget who still want a beach, Konyaaltı. All three areas are inside our hotel pickup zone for the tours below.

Day 1: Kaleiçi old town, Düden waterfalls and a boat trip

Morning (09:00 to 12:30). Start at the Upper Düden waterfall, about 20 minutes north of the centre, before the tour buses arrive at around 10:30. A short path loops behind the falls through a wet limestone cave; the municipal park charges a small ticket. Then drive about 25 minutes south to the Lower Düden waterfall in Lara, where the river drops straight off a cliff into the sea. It is free and best seen from the park railing.

Afternoon (13:00 to 17:00). Lunch, then Kaleiçi on foot: in through Hadrian's Gate, past the Clock Tower and the Yivli Minaret, down the lanes to the old harbour. From the harbour the excursion boats run about an hour along the cliffs to see the Lower Düden falls from the water. This is the hottest part of a July day, so the boat comes at the right time.

Evening. Watch the sun set over the Beydağları mountains from the harbour walls or from a terrace on the cliff, and eat in Kaleiçi. Our Antalya city tour with waterfalls and boat trip covers this day from $90 per person with hotel pickup, a licensed guide, the boat trip and lunch. If you prefer your own guide and no group, the private Antalya old town tour walks Kaleiçi at your pace and ends at the Düden Waterfalls, from $90.

Day 2: Perge, Aspendos, Side and the Manavgat waterfall

Morning (08:00 to 12:30). Leave by 08:00. Perge is about 25 minutes from Kaleiçi and best before the heat, because its colonnaded street has almost no shade. Allow 75 minutes. The ministry's site page says the Perge theatre is temporarily closed for restoration, so you see it from outside. From Perge it is about 35 minutes to Aspendos, the best-preserved Roman theatre in Turkey; its stage building still stands to full height. An hour there is enough.

Afternoon (13:00 to 17:30). Lunch on the way, then about 40 minutes to Side, where the Temple of Apollo stands on the point above the sea and the old town is full of shops and cafés. Stop at the wide, low Manavgat waterfall, 10 to 15 minutes from Side, on the way back. The drive home from Side takes 75 to 90 minutes, so this is the long day of the three.

Our Perge, Aspendos and Side day tour costs from $90 per person with transport, guide and lunch. Entry fees are paid at the gates and are not included. If you prefer a slower day, drop Manavgat; it is the least interesting stop for most guests.

Day 3: Suluada boat trip, or Kemer and the coast

Morning. Pickup is early, around 07:30, for the drive of roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to Adrasan harbour. The boat leaves mid-morning for Suluada, a long, narrow island with white sand and very clear water, often compared with the Maldives in Turkish holiday adverts. The comparison is generous, but the water colour is real.

Afternoon. Swimming stops at Suluada and the Blue Cave, with lunch cooked on board. The boat is back in Adrasan around 16:00 and you are at your hotel by about 18:30. Our Suluada island boat tour is from $50 per person with pickup and lunch. On a calm summer day this is the best value on our list of Antalya tours; in a strong south wind the boat may change its route.

If you prefer less time in the car, take the Kemer pirate boat instead (from $75, about 50 minutes from the city), spend the day on Konyaaltı beach and ride the cable car up Tünektepe for the view over the bay, or add Kekova and Myra (from $120) if you care more about Lycian ruins than swimming. Our page on Antalya day trips compares all the options.

Evening. A last dinner in Kaleiçi, or on the Lara side if you have an early flight.

How much does 3 days in Antalya cost?

The table adds up our three tours and the official entry fees for foreign visitors. Fees are the 2026 summer prices published for Antalya's sites (reported by Güncel Antalya on 10 September 2026); the ministry's 2027 list, valid from 1 April 2027, raises Aspendos to €16 and Perge to €12. Hotels, dinners and drinks are extra.

Prices vary by season, hotel and what's included, so ask us for today's price for your dates. Lunch is included on all three main days, which takes one meal a day out of the budget. Ask about child prices when you book.

Book this plan as a package

If Antalya is part of a longer trip to Turkey, the easiest way to do this plan is inside a package. Our Private Istanbul and Antalya Tour Package (8 days, 7 nights) starts from $1,980 per person and covers Istanbul's main sights and a Bosphorus dinner cruise, a domestic flight south, then Kaleiçi, the Düden waterfalls and the Suluada boat trip in Antalya, with hotels and transfers. It is listed with our other Turkey tour packages, and our guide to an Istanbul and Antalya holiday explains how to split the nights.

For a different mix, such as Antalya with Cappadocia or Pamukkale, look at our multi-city Turkey packages or send us your dates and we will price the three days above on their own, with your hotel. Every option on our Turkey tour packages page can be shortened or lengthened by a night.

When to go: season notes and opening hours

April to June and September to October are the best months for this plan: the sea is warm enough for Day 3 from late May, and the ruins are bearable at midday. July and August work if you start each day early, but Perge and Aspendos reach the high 30s °C by noon and Kaleiçi is crowded in the evenings.

From November, Antalya changes. Many of the large beach hotels in Lara, Belek and Kemer close for the winter, the Suluada and pirate boats stop when the sea gets rough, and Day 3 becomes a city or mountain day. In winter, hours at state sites are shorter than in summer: the official muze.gov.tr pages listed Perge and Aspendos at 08:00 to 19:00 in late October 2026, with the ticket office closing 30 minutes earlier, and the ministry cuts these again for the winter period. Check the page for your date before planning a late visit. In summer the picture is the opposite: under the 2026 night museum programme, Aspendos and Side stayed open until 22:00.

Getting there: Antalya airport to Kaleiçi

Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 13 km from Kaleiçi, and a car or transfer takes 20 to 30 minutes outside rush hour. The AntRay tram runs from the stop at Terminal 1 into the centre in about 30 minutes; get off at İsmetpaşa, a short walk from Hadrian's Gate. You need an AntalyaKart to ride. Travellers landing at Terminal 2 take the free shuttle bus to Terminal 1 first.

With luggage and a late flight, a private transfer is easier: the tram stop in Kaleiçi is at the top of the old town and most hotels are down steep, uneven lanes that cars cannot enter. If you arrive before 14:00, you can still fit the Kaleiçi walk and the harbour that afternoon and turn this into a loose 3.5-day plan. With more days, our 5-day Antalya itinerary spreads the same sights over a slower plan, and it also has a 7-day version.

Rainy day or travelling with kids?

Rain in Antalya usually falls between November and March, often in heavy bursts. On a wet day, swap the boat for the Antalya Aquarium at Konyaaltı, a hamam in Kaleiçi and a long lunch. Note that the old Antalya Museum building has been demolished and its collection is not on show while a new museum is planned, so do not build a rainy day around it.

With children, keep Day 1 as it is: the waterfalls and the boat hold their attention well. On Day 2, Perge and Aspendos are hot and open, so bring hats and water, and consider leaving out Manavgat to get home earlier. Day 3 on the Suluada boat is long for small children because of the drive; the Kemer pirate boat or a beach day at Lara is easier. Our Antalya tours all include hotel pickup, which matters more with children than any sight on the list.

If you only want the old town, a private Kaleiçi tour with your own guide is from $90 and goes at your pace. Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form with your dates, hotel and the ages of your children, and we will put the three days together.
