TransportThe trip was somewhat spoilt with trip to the jewellery store. While the shop was lovely there was constant pressure to buy and when we didn’t we were asked to do an online review saying how good it was and was stood over while I did. The rest of the trip was very good and we could have used the hour wasted in the jewellers in Antalya.
Antalya is renowned for its shopping and for being a haggler's paradise – it's not just beautiful landscapes and historic cities. This full day tour combines these two elements, taking you to the best places to grab a bargain and pick up a souvenir, as well as the famous Karpuzkaldiran waterfall and Antalya old town.
First up, get the lowdown on the best gold, and why it's such a good buy here. When the expert jewellers showcase their pieces, don't forget to haggle for the best deal. And if shopping's not on your agenda, just give them a polite no. The shopping gives way to Mother Nature next, with a trip to the Karpuzkaldiran waterfall. You'll be able to take some special snapshots of the water pouring over a cliff into the Mediterranean.
Afterwards, there's a visit to a textile centre for some more retail therapy. Whether you're in the mood to shop or simply browse, it's a great way to practice your bargaining skills. A guided tour of Antalya's old town, Kaleici, rounds off the day. Winding uphill from the harbour, it's a gem of a place. Ringed by Roman walls, it's all cobbled lanes, Ottoman-style houses and pretty cafés.
