• 5.Düden Waterfalls — A spectacular natural sight right by the city — the Düden Waterfalls, where a river plunges dramatically off a cliff straight into the Mediterranean Sea at the Lower Falls (best seen from a boat or the clifftop park), and cascades through a lush gorge with a walk-behind cave at the Upper Falls. A refreshing, scenic escape combining rushing water, greenery and sea views, easily reached from the city. Visit the clifftop park for the sea-plunging falls, or the leafy Upper Falls; both are lovely. A beautiful, easy natural highlight. Refreshing and photogenic.
• 6.A coastal boat cruise — The Turquoise Coast is best seen from the water — take a boat cruise from the old harbour along the stunning coastline, past cliffs, the sea-plunging Düden falls, hidden coves and clear turquoise water, with stops to swim and snorkel in the warm Mediterranean, often with lunch aboard a traditional wooden gulet. From short harbour cruises to full-day trips, it's a relaxing, scenic and quintessential Antalya experience. Cruise the coast, swim in the coves, and drink in the sea-and-mountain views; a lovely day on the water. A gorgeous, essential highlight. Relaxing and beautiful.
• 12.Lara Beach & the resorts — The city's sandy beach — Lara, a long stretch of golden sand east of the centre (a rarity on this pebbly coast), lined with big, often extravagant themed luxury resorts and beach clubs, near the Düden falls. The soft sand and warm, clear water make it great for a relaxed beach day, sunbathing and swimming, with plenty of facilities. Spend a sandy beach day here, or enjoy a resort day pass; it's the place for a proper sun-and-sand holiday near the city. A relaxed, sandy beach highlight. Comfortable and family-friendly; the nicest sand in the city.
