Hotels near Karaalioglu Park

Karaalioglu Park is a long, narrow strip of greenery running along the clifftop south of Kaleiçi, offering sweeping views over the Mediterranean and the Bey Mountains. The park is shaded by mature pine, palm, and orange trees, and benches line the cliff-edge path where the drop to the sea is sheer. At the southern end, the Hıdırlık Tower - a 14-metre cylindrical Roman tower from the 2nd century AD - marks the boundary between the park and the harbour.

The park is free, open at all hours, and popular with locals for morning runs and evening strolls. It connects directly to Kaleiçi on its northern edge, so you can walk from Hadrian's Gate through the old town and into the park without ever leaving pedestrian streets. Tea vendors and small kiosks sell drinks and snacks. Allow 30-60 minutes for a relaxed walk through.

Pro Tip: Walk to the Hıdırlık Tower at sunset. The tower faces directly west and the low sun lights up the Mediterranean with the Bey Mountains silhouetted behind - it is the most underrated sunset spot in Antalya.
