Things to do in Antalya in March
Duden Falls, a group of waterfalls near the city, are one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the area. The falls are located 12 km northeast of the city on the Duden River, one of the most important in the region. There are several waterfalls here, the most picturesque of which is the Upper Duden Falls. These falls are inland and surrounded by trees and lush greenery. The lower falls end at the Mediterranean Sea, where the water cascades over a rocky precipice.
If you are traveling with kids or animal lovers, Antalya Aquarium is a great way to spend the day. This modern and impressive aquarium is one of the largest in the world. There are many exhibits and interesting creatures, divided into different zones. There is even the world's largest tunnel that you can walk through, over 131 meters long and three meters wide.
No trip to Antalya is complete without a trip to the beach, and Cleopatra Beach is worth a stop. Reportedly a favorite spot of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, the beach has a reputation for being the best in the area. Just a short drive from Antalya, this white, fine sand beach is incredibly popular and recommended by tourists and locals alike.
