A clifftop park above the Mediterranean on the edge of Kaleiçi
Karaalioğlu Park runs along the clifftop beside Kaleiçi and is the city's favourite place for an evening stroll. Palm trees, rose beds and lawns line broad paths, and at the western end the park opens onto sweeping views of the Gulf of Antalya, with the Beydağları mountains rising on the far side of the bay.
Come at sunset, when families, runners and couples fill the benches and the light falls on the cliffs. There are cafes and tea gardens, a small cliff-side viewpoint and steps leading down towards the sea. The Hıdırlık Tower, a Roman-era tower, stands at one end of the park.
