Kaleici marina, charter departures
Boarding inside the Roman harbour of the old city.
Kaleici marina, charter departures
Kaleici is the most unusual departure on this coast: a horseshoe harbour cut into the cliff directly beneath Antalya old town, reached on foot down through the Ottoman streets or by lift from the park above. There is no marina car park, so guests are normally dropped at the Hadrian gate and walk five minutes down. Boats lie stern to the old stone quay.
You leave the harbour under the walls of the old town and immediately turn along the Konyaalti cliffs, where the Duden river drops over the edge straight into the sea. That waterfall is the first ten minutes, and the Bey mountains stand over the whole run.
This is the departure for anyone staying in central Antalya, Lara or Konyaalti, and the one to pick if you want the day to start with the old town rather than a car journey.
About Kaleici
Kaleici is Antalya itself: a horseshoe harbour cut into the cliff below the old town, with Hadrian gate, Ottoman houses and the whole bazaar a two minute walk from the pontoon. Boats leaving from here get the cliff and waterfall coastline in the first ten minutes. It is the most convenient departure for anyone staying in central Antalya or Lara.

Common questions
How long does it take to reach Kaleici?
About 1 h of sailing from the departure marina, which is why boarding is early and the return is timed for the last of the light.
Is lunch included on a Departure marinas?
A full Mediterranean lunch is prepared aboard by the chef, with soft drinks, water, tea and Turkish coffee included. Wine and spirits are charged separately or you are welcome to bring your own.
Can we swim at every stop?
At almost all of them. The exception is directly over protected ruins, where swimming is restricted by law, so the swim stop moves to the bay alongside.
What happens if the weather changes?
The captain reroutes to the sheltered side of the coast, which on this coastline almost always works. If a day genuinely cannot sail, you are refunded in full.
How many guests can come?
From two up to twelve, depending on the yacht. Larger parties are handled by taking two boats out together on the same route.
