Departing from Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection
Situated along Side's sandy coastline in the Manavgat district, Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection is known for its ultra-all-inclusive hospitality, swim-up suites, and close proximity to famous landmarks such as the Side Ancient City and the Temple of Apollo and Athena.
When leaving the resort, your driver will arrive directly at the main entrance vehicle drop-off area. Private transfer vehicles have dedicated entrance privileges, making baggage handling effortless. Your chauffeur will assist with your luggage and ensure you are comfortably settled before setting off toward Antalya.
Arriving in Kaleiçi Old Town
Enclosed by ancient Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman fortifications, Kaleiçi is the historic heart of Antalya located within the Muratpaşa district. This scenic neighborhood features narrow cobblestone lanes lined with restored Ottoman wooden mansions, boutique hotels, atmospheric cafes, and historic sites like Hadrian's Gate (Hadrian Kapısı) and the Roman Harbour.
Due to security barriers and narrow historical alleys, vehicle access inside Kaleiçi is strictly regulated. Cealio chauffeurs drop guests off at primary perimeter access points such as Hadrian's Gate, Saat Kulesi (Antalya Clock Tower), or the marina parking area. If your boutique hotel holds specific barrier clearance, your driver will proceed as far into the historic district as permitted.
