The inhabitants were Pisidian, who were fierce people and had many war-like factions. Its secluded location might be why the city is in such good repair as it retained its independence from invaders many times. A beautiful, open-air theatre can also be seen, adding to the incredible sites of the city which leaves visitors with a feeling of wonder.

Old Marina

Situated amongst craggy rocks in a scenic cove, the Old Marina is filled with boats floating upon turquoise waters. Many cafes and restaurants are lining the shore, making it an atmospheric place to stop by.

There are also stunning winding streets leading away from the marina. In the past, it used to be an economic hub, but nowadays it’s the ideal place to grab a coffee or bite to eat while looking out over the beautiful scenery.

Karaalioglu Park

Located just outside the city centre, Karaalioglu Park is a large area that is perfect for an evening stroll or afternoon picnic.
