I really like the old town itself: it is beautiful, colorful, cozy, many pleasant shops, cafes, a port, an embankment, a bay .., it is not Turkey in the usual sense (it somehow reminded Croatia, Zadar). The gate is one of the main attractions of this place, as well as the minaret, the port and the square.., just walking around the old town has a purpose)) you come, you look, you see crowds of tourists, and you quickly turn into the first curved, quiet and cozy street you come across. Mission accomplished)) 🙏 moving on, hanging out in a cafe 🍹☕️ and watching passers-by from all over the world! High 😍
The old part of the mountains. Antalya is very interesting. It occupies a large area on the Mediterranean coast. Rocky mountains adorn the distance. The water is surprisingly clean, swimming in early November is a pleasure. This is a place worth visiting.
A beautiful place with pleasant streets of the old town. There are many souvenir shops and junk shops. If you go there by car, then parking will be a problem) I walked 15 minutes from the parking spot but it was worth it. Be sure to eat at some cafe in the old town and go to the mosque.
Hadrian's Gate is one of the most ancient architectural landmarks. It is they who divide the city into two parts.
One is full of memories of the long—gone past, the other is full of the active life of the present. The gate leads from the busy Ataturk Cadesi highway (known locally as Ishiklar) to the old city district — Kaleici quarter.
Next to the gate there is a lively park where you can take a walk and relax from the hot sun.
There is a legend that if you walk under each of the gates and make wishes, they will definitely come true. Is it true or false, bilmiyorum))
An interesting tour, it's worth going if the hotel is nearby. And it's better not in the heat. We were in October, walked around the city in comfort. The place is very atmospheric, but all the charm will open in the evening, when all the Cafes open under the open sky, musicians will appear. The young people of our group stayed there, they got to the hotel by taxi. One of the advantages is a very good guide, an interesting story about the history of this place, about traditions in everyday life and crafts. Minus the excursion-we ran very quickly, one view point and did not give any free time at all, but there is something to see. The tour costs $ 29.
A wonderful example of an ancient gate, well preserved because in the Byzantine period they did not favor their triumphant significance in the Roman perception of it and simply sealed up with stones as part of the wall. In general, the old city of Antalya is a pleasant discovery, I thought it was just a transit point on the way to more interesting parts of the Turkish Mediterranean, but it turned out that you can take yourself a walk for the whole day. I recommend an examination.
Amazing gates! Power, architecture, it's very exciting to be there, strong energy, as you come into contact with history! I walked under them and made a wish, I hope it will come true!💫
A beautiful historical place, stunning views and an interesting story. It looks impressive! The only drawback is the crowds of tourists, due to the fact that not everyone knows English, it was difficult to ask to leave for a while.
Beautiful antique gate (partially restored), the entrance to the Old Town of Antalya, a place of attraction for tourists and local weddings. We were interested in the depressions on the slab of the central arch, which are very similar to the traces of wagons that have been passing there for centuries, it is impressive and gives a true idea of the time of the gate's existence.
The structure is impressive! Majestic, beautiful decoration is preserved. It takes your breath away when you imagine how many events and human destinies have passed through time. There are crowds of tourists around, of course.
It's nice to walk around the country city in Antalya. The gate gives this place some kind of antiquity , it is an ornament of the city. You can take beautiful photos in the morning
We enjoyed walking around the old town. In general, you will bypass it three times in a day for sure.. starting from the Gate, ending with the embankment and the seaport.
At the end of October, there is no sweltering heat anymore, but there are still a lot of tourists! Mostly Russians, Germans and Chinese.
It was interesting to see the landmark - the portal to the Old Town. The gate is well preserved. There are details that you want to look at. The area around is lively, especially in the evenings. There are many cafes and shops around here. It is difficult to take a picture near the gate without people. It is quite possible to do without an excursion and explore all the sights of the old city on your own.
It's a very beautiful place. I was there without a tour. I saw several tour groups. The guide told them a story, then everyone quickly took pictures and ran away. But I think it's worth sitting in this place to relax and look at the details of Adrian's Gate, there are a lot of them there.
An architectural monument of the 2nd century, in fact the oldest surviving building in Antalya, along with a fragment of the pavement of the same time! If you're lucky, you'll feel the atmosphere of that time for a moment! I definitely recommend you to visit!
As of September 2024, the gate is under restoration, only part of the gate is visible, the rest is closed with scaffolding and iron with a grid. There was no repair in 2022, beautiful photos turned out
An interesting attraction. You can see how much everything ancient has gone into the ground. The cultural layer.

A great start to a walk through the old town! There is a mosque on the territory of the old one, not far from the gate, it is also a museum, admission is free, I highly recommend visiting. Then walk to the sea, where you will have a wonderful view of the old port.
It's a beautiful place. The business card of Antalya. Atmospheric. Right in the center of the city, this is the entrance to the old town. We always walk there when we come to Antalya
A beautiful atmospheric place) Instagrammed) There are a lot of tourists. In the evening, a bar with wonderful interesting music is open at the gate, sometimes a DJ plays.
Of course, you plunge into antiquity at the sight of these gates. The streets are also good. I really enjoyed walking. The cafes are generally cool, all with different designs. Do not approach ice cream makers, especially with children, the amounts are generally called inadequate.
This is not only Antalya's story, but also mine, I have been to the tower many times. And every time, like the first time. I will come back again and again, I like the center of Antalya, but there are a lot of tourists here, a lot!
A landmark in the heart of old Antalya, near Kaleichi. Seeing it once is enough. There are many shops and cafes in the area. The park nearby is not too cozy.
It's nice to be in a place like this. You feel your involvement in history. And anyway. Any boy dreamed of a castle, stone walls, etc. In general, the atmosphere has gone. The only thing missing was a historical setting in the image of that era. It would be unforgettable)
Antalya City Hadrian's Gate is the entrance to the old town. It is a very beautiful and unusual place . To take a picture so that there are no passing tourists or locals should just be lucky. The stones in the passage itself are very slippery, polished by time, be careful when passing under the gate itself, there is a chance of slipping and spoiling your mood with bruises. Once you pass through Hadrian's Gate, you will find narrow streets with a large abundance of merchants of goods for every taste.
A beautiful place, an old town with picturesque streets. We were in November, the weather is excellent +25. Perfect weather for walking around the old town.
Having visited Antalya, I did not bypass this architectural miracle of Hadrian's Gate. I was fascinated by how beautiful and individual everything is. Be sure to visit this wonderful place in Antalya.
Very beautiful, historical architectural heritage. It is located in the city center. It is a very crowded and busy place. We were in June, the air temperature is +39, I advise you to take a walk.
Very beautiful gate, well preserved to this day. It is necessary to pass through the middle arch very carefully, because the stone there is polished by thousands of feet and it is very slippery in summer shoes, you can easily fly away
We visited this place in July. It was very hot, but thanks to the small streets it was comfortable. The gates correspond to their era, but you will not stay near them for long, since they do not have a large scale. For example, it is better to go to Ephesus for this.

A wonderful attraction in Antalya! It is not only the gate itself that is impressive, but also the track in the stone under the arch. We were lucky, it, that is, the track, was open. They say that it is periodically closed, because there are many people who want to walk along it.
Of course, the gates themselves are very beautiful and interesting. But the road is under them - it's hard not to break your legs and get killed.
The walls of the fortress themselves are not neatly made and do not impress with anything other than their presence and thickness.
Antalya has been increasingly disappointing in recent years.
The city is cleaned somehow, in the Kaleichi nightclub itself, right next to Adrian's gate. All night long, noise, shouting, drinking. - it's blasphemous and not pleasant.
It's beautiful, but honestly, I liked the unusual fountains with drinking water nearby more. I recommend visiting, because you need to touch the centuries-old history
It's an old town in Africa, as they say. Stroll through the streets, take a look at the sights. The prices are space, it's clear, a tourist area, including poprashayki.
A monumental structure! It's worth taking a look at them once, walking through them. As I understand it, this is not a fully preserved gate: they were taller and larger. But it's still beautiful, walk carefully on the paving stones, it's slippery, it only seems to break your legs in the rain. But it's still beautiful, terribly beautiful! Even the traces of the carriages remained, pressed into the stone, which drove here God knows when.
Antalya is also a castle gate departure, formerly called three gates, there is a marina and a lighthouse in it, it is recommended that you should definitely visit
