Castle Café

Top choice in Antalya


This perch on the cliff edge is a superb choice at sunset, attracting a crowd of young Turks with its affordable drinks. Service can be slow, but the terrace's jaw-dropping views of the beaches and mountains west of town more than compensate, as does the well-priced menu (mains ₺18 to ₺40) featuring fish and chips and burgers.

Access is either from the path just opposite the Hıdırlık Kalesi or through the back – down stairs and along the side of an old building – from Hıdırlık Sokak.
