Hidirlik Tower
Hidirlik Tower is a historic stone structure located at the junction of the Kaleiçi district and Karaalioğlu Park in Antalya. Built from tawny stone, it serves as a prominent landmark and observation point overlooking the Mediterranean coast and the city's old harbor.
Getting There
The tower is situated within the city center's historic district. It is easily accessible on foot from the main streets of Kaleiçi. Depending on your starting point within the center, the walk typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes.
Visit Duration
Since the tower is a single architectural landmark, most visitors spend approximately 20 to 40 minutes here to observe the structure and the surrounding views.
