Port summary
Antalya rewards independent visitors with the walled old town of Kaleici, two sets of waterfalls and the great Roman sites of Perge and Aspendos, but Port Akdeniz is a container-and-cruise port with no attractions of its own. Budget for a shuttle or taxi each way and keep a generous return buffer against Antalya's traffic.
Cruise dock
Port Akdeniz — Cruise Berth
Antalya's cruise ships berth at Port Akdeniz, a secured commercial port about 13 km west of the old town of Kaleici. There is no walk-out to the city; passengers use a cruise-day shuttle or a taxi from the terminal gate.

Port Akdeniz is about 13 km west of the centre, so take the cruise shuttle or a metered taxi to Kaleici (about 25 minutes, roughly €25-30 per car). The old town - Hadrian's Gate, the lanes, the old harbour and the Yivli Minaret - is all walkable on foot once you arrive. For the falls, take a short taxi to the Upper Duden park (Dudenbasi) and back. Keep a wide buffer for the return against Antalya traffic.

The sites are 18 km and 45 km east of the port with no practical public transport, so the DIY move is to hire a taxi or private driver for the day (roughly €100-120 for the car, so €50-60 each for two). Entry is priced in euros for foreigners: Perge about €11, Aspendos about €15. The Antalya museum (about €15) is a natural add-on but has been closed for renovation, so check before relying on it. Start early and agree the driver's route and return time up front.
