Near Mevlâna Museum
Çatalhöyük 36 km
A mound on the Konya Plain holding one of the earliest large settlements known, lived in from around 7500 BC to 5600 BC. Its mud-brick houses were packed so tightly that people entered through the roofs, and it became a UNESCO site in 2012.
Manavgat Waterfall 150 km
A broad, low waterfall on the Manavgat River, 3 km north of Manavgat town and close to Side. The falls are not tall, but a great volume of water spreads across a wide shelf, and it is best seen from above.
Alanya Castle 155 km
A medieval castle on the rocky peninsula above Alanya, its walls winding down the cliffs to the sea. It was largely built under the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad in the 13th century, and the views over both beaches are wide.
Aspendos 157 km
An ancient Greco-Roman city 40 km east of Antalya, known above all for its Roman theatre, one of the best preserved anywhere. The stage building still stands to its full height, and the theatre is still used for performances.
Side 158 km
A resort town built in and around the ruins of one of Turkey's best-known classical cities, on a small peninsula near Manavgat. The columns of the Temple of Apollo stand right at the water's edge, at their finest at sunset.
Ihlara Valley 163 km
A canyon 15 km long and up to 150 metres deep in the south-west of Cappadocia, with a river running along its floor. Its walls hold around 50 rock-hewn churches, and a path follows the water beneath them.
Perge 177 km
The ruins of a Greek city of Pamphylia that later became a Roman provincial capital, 15 km east of Antalya. A long colonnaded street, a stadium and the towers of its Hellenistic gate still mark out the old town.

Two waterfalls on the Düden River on the edge of Antalya. The upper falls lie in a shaded park, while the lower falls pour straight off the cliffs into the Mediterranean, best seen from a boat.
