Descripción
Atatürk Park is one of the easiest and most enjoyable places for birdwatching in Antalya. The park sits right along the cliffs, with beautiful sea views, shady paths, and plenty of green areas where birds like to feed and rest. Because it mixes gardens, tall trees, and open cliff edges, you can see a nice variety of species even during a short visit.
Around the park you’ll often spot familiar birds such as the Curruca Cabecinegra, Mirlo Común, Carbonero Común, and Tórtola Turca. During spring and autumn migration, the area becomes even more interesting, with passing birds like Mosquitero Musical, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, or Papamoscas Gris dropping in for a quick stop. Along the cliffs and over the water, Gaviota Patiamarilla are common, and with a bit of luck you might even catch Pardela Mediterránea gliding low over the sea.
What makes Atatürk Park special is how relaxed it feels. You can enjoy birding while walking by the sea, taking photos from viewpoints, or simply sitting under the trees with binoculars. It’s an easy, peaceful, and rewarding spot right in the heart of the city.

Accesso
Atatürk Park is located along the coastal cliffs of central Antalya, between the Old Town (Kaleiçi) and Konyaaltı Beach. The park is very easy to reach from anywhere in the city.
If you are coming by public transport, several buses stop along Konyaaltı Caddesi and Cumhuriyet Caddesi, both only a short walk from the park entrances. From Kaleiçi or the marina, you can also reach the park comfortably on foot in about 10–15 minutes.
If you are arriving by car, there are parking areas along the main road above the park, but spaces can fill up quickly on weekends. Street parking is usually available early in the morning.
The best way to explore the area is definitely on foot. The park has paved paths, shaded seating areas, and many viewpoints where you can stop and scan the trees, gardens, and sea. A relaxed visit for birding usually takes 1–2 hours, but you can easily spend longer enjoying the scenery.

Early morning is the best time for birding in Atatürk Park, as the paths are quiet and many birds feed actively in the gardens. The viewpoints along the cliffs are great places to watch gulls and scan the sea for passing birds. There are plenty of benches and shaded areas, making it a comfortable place to spend time even in warm weather.
The park is safe, well-maintained, and popular with walkers, runners, and families. Toilets, cafés, and drinking water can be found nearby along Konyaaltı Street or in the surrounding areas. It’s also a good spot for photography thanks to the Mediterranean light and the beautiful backdrop of the Taurus Mountains.
