Must-see
Hadrian's Gate, the 2nd-century Roman triumphal arch on Atatürk Caddesi. Walk through it into Kaleiçi, the old harbor quarter, where stone alleys drop steeply to the Roman-era marina. No ticket, no reservation. The Antalya Museum on Konyaaltı and the Lower Düden Waterfalls round out the top three, but Hadrian's Gate is the orientation point that makes the rest of the city click.

Food culture
Antalya's food identity runs on piyaz, a white-bean-and-tahini salad eaten cold, and citrus that grows within city limits. Breakfast starts late, around 9:30am, with spread-style kahvaltı heavy on local cheeses and bitter orange jam. Kebab culture here leans toward tandır and şiş köfte rather than the döner that dominates Istanbul. Most sit-down meals cost 150-400 TRY ($3-8).

Where locals go
Antalya locals concentrate along Işıklar Caddesi in Muratpaşa for weeknight tea, the Konyaaltı sahil parkuru for post-work walks after 7pm, and the cheap lokantas behind Migros AVM in Hurma. Skip Kaleiçi after dark on weekends. The real social life happens in residential Güzeloba and along 100. Yıl Bulvarı's çay bahçeleri.

Budget $50-90 for a converted mansion hotel with a stone courtyard. Konyaaltı Beach district is the alternative for a modern apartment with mountain views at $40-70 per night.
