Beautiful statue of the historical founder of Antalya... located at the entrance of the pedestrian zone opposite the historical clock tower

The Yivli Minaret is considered one of Antalya's landmarks... It is visible far across the old town. Especially at night, it shines brightly and is visible from afar

The statue of Attalos II commemorates King Attalos II Philadelphos of Pergamon, who is considered the founder of the city of Attaleia, modern-day Antalya. The monument is centrally located on Republic Street/Cumhuriyet Caddesi, directly opposite the Saat Kulesi, Antalya's clock tower. The statue is a good short stop on the edge of Kaleiçi: there are cafes, shops, and bustling squares in the vicinity; at the same time, the old town, the clock tower, and other sights are within easy walking distance. Tip: Use the statue as a starting point or orientation point for a tour of the old town: from here you can easily connect the clock tower, the Yivli Minaret, the alleys of Kaleiçi, and the way to the old harbor. The best times for photos are in the morning or late afternoon, when the light is more favorable and the square is less crowded.

The Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque is located in Antalya's historic old town Kaleiçi and is one of the city's important Ottoman mosques. It is situated in the Kalekapısı/Kaleiçi area, just a few steps from the Clock Tower, making it an easily accessible stop during a tour of the old town. Architecturally, the dome composition is particularly striking: the main dome is complemented by semi-domes or smaller domes; furthermore, sources mention tile panels with Quranic verses on the north facade and inside. Tip: The mosque is well-suited as a short, quiet detour between the Clock Tower, the Yivli Minaret, and the alleys of Kaleiçi. As it is an active place of worship, you should visit it outside of prayer times, tread quietly, take off your shoes before entering, and wear appropriate clothing.

The Antalya Clock Tower, also known as Saat Kulesi, is a distinctive landmark on the edge of the historic old town of Kaleiçi. It is described as a central point of reference and serves well as a meeting point or starting point for a tour of the old town. Tip: Start your walk towards Kaleiçi here: From the Clock Tower, the old town alleys, the Yivli Minaret, the bazaar area, and the descent to the old harbor can be well connected. The tower is particularly practical as a photo stop and orientation point before diving deeper into the winding alleys of the old town.
