If you are interested in spending time in Antalya, then be sure to visit it. The Hadrian's Arch is certainly good, but the museum is quite rich. Of course, there is more exposition in Istanbul and Ankara, but it is also quite large here and we were happy to visit it.
I really liked the museum, it is very interesting to see a lot of historical exhibits. It's really cool in the museums. When leaving the museum, there is a shop where you can buy souvenirs.
It's a very interesting place. A huge number of ancient exhibits from various archaeological sites. There are a lot of objects made of Parchment. It is located not far from Kaleichi. You can combine a tour of the old town and an approach to the museum.
We read on the Internet that the entrance costs 45 thousand lira, we decided that this was a great price, since we visited the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul in the same year. There, a separate ticket cost 75 lire. Then we bought a museum card, which included 13-15 museums throughout Turkey and cost 700 liras.
We arrived at the museum in Antalya, the ticket price is 200 liras with an audio guide + 75 liras. (The audio guide did not work in the end), for the museum card 1,700 lire and 2,500 lire (they differ in the number of days). The funny thing is that on the ticket that we were given, the price ended up under the sticker "200 lira" was 90!!! I understand everything, there is inflation in the country, but it's so brazen to increase ticket prices for a couple of floors, you'll forgive me... At least there was something to see in Istanbul.
A very interesting archaeological museum. There is a tram stop nearby. There is a parking lot for cars in the courtyard of the museum. The coast with parks where you can walk is just around the corner.
The museum itself is divided into thirteen halls, each of which is dedicated to a separate topic. There is a hall for children, a hall of small and marine finds, several halls of statues of gods and emperors, very interesting burials.
The second floor is dedicated to Byzantine icons and coins.
The museum is mysteriously dim and air-conditioned. An audio guide in Russian can be taken at the entrance.
There are many more archaeological finds in the courtyard of the museum, peacocks are walking and there is a small cafe.
a normal place. There are many interesting statues. a beautiful area with a friendly peacock. Statues from the Roman Empire era. There are many images of gods and emperors. Various tombs
I recommend visiting this museum to all guests of the city. It will take two to three hours of time, there are enough visitors, but there is no crowd. There are a lot of interesting exhibits, there is an opportunity to take good pictures.
The entrance price is 550 liras. The audio guide is only available via the Internet, with which our tourists are strained. In general, I was amazed and decided that I don't really like history so much: I went to the beach, fortunately it is very close)
Definitely need to take a tour. Of the minuses, visiting is expensive - 1300 rubles per person, it turns out to be expensive for a family. There is air conditioning in the room, it is very nice to cool down in the heat
The museum is surprisingly good! Not Istanbul, of course, but nevertheless, it deserves a visit. In addition to the duty shards, amphorae and spearheads, there is a wonderful collection of antique sculptures. As well as a large hall with sarcophagi. I've been through these halls twice. There is a good coin collection on the second floor.
The ticket was sold to me for 340 lire. Either it went up in price again, or they sold some extras that I was not aware of.
Overall, I liked it! The impression is pleasant. I didn't want to leave, but I had to).
I was surprised by the lack of electronic guides. To the question "why?" No one wanted to answer. The human factor???))) But there is a lot, a lot of beauty and a couple of not just amazing things for me, but real miracles! The first is the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the second is the icon of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus. Mary is smiling on this icon!). Well, tell me: Aren't these miracles???
The ticket already costs 200 lira, about 800 rubles. It's too much, I think, but the museum is really good. Everything that was dragged away from Perge and other ancient places.
Parking is free and large.
It is better to come early - there are fewer package tourists.
Orange juice in a local cafe is 75 lire.
The originals of the statues are something that no photo or reproduction can convey... The feeling of a bygone civilization, compared to which we are savages and barbarians. The Three Graces, Jupiter, etc., are worth a visit just for them
The museum mainly presents vases and sculptures of the Greco-Roman period, there is a small hall with earlier objects. The exposition is weak, but interesting. The ticket cost 440 liras (14 euros)
There is a lot to see inside and out. I liked the exhibits. There are many antique sculptures, perfectly restored. There is even a live peacock in the yard.
In 2023, a ticket costs 90 lira, with an audio guide of 110 like. But it's worth a look, the beautiful marble statues and there are descriptions not only in Turkish, but also in English.
Attention! Now the entrance is already 340 liras! (August 2023). But, as for me, it's worth it. It perfectly complements the tour in Perga. You need a passport for the audio guide.
A large collection of antique sculptures and sarcophagi from the city of Perge. Fantastic museum and museum courtyard, highly recommended for those who love the art of ancient Greece and Rome
A very good museum of history from the beginning of the centuries, the main theme of course is the Roman period.
Take it - the audio guide with it is 3 times more interesting.
The passage time is about 1-1.5 hours.
The expositions are interesting, but they do not offer an audio guide. You can't pay with dollars, only in lira, I had to run to look for a change, change the money in advance.
