The center of Antalya,
"capital" of Turkey's Mediterranean
coast, is an ancient stone
tower in
the old city walls, called Kalekapisi (KAH-leh-kah-puh-suh,
Castle Gate).
It's right next to the
city's well-known symbol, the Grooved
Minaret (Yivli Minare).
Just down the hill from
it is Kaleiçi (Old
Antalya), with dozens of fine old Ottoman-style
boutique hotels, inns, pensions
and restaurants.
Kalekapisi is where
Antalya's trams pass in the middle
of their run. Some city buses pass
right by it, and many more—as
well as lots of useful minibus routes—pass
a block or two north of the tower.
Antalya's old bazaar and
market district starts at Kalekapisi and
extends north along Kazim Özalp
Caddesi, also known by its
former name of Sarampol Caddesi.
