An upscale restaurant at the Kaleiçi Marina overlooking the ancient Roman harbor, offering elegant Mediterranean cuisine in one of Turkey's most beautiful harbor settings. The seafood tasting menu is exceptional.
Marina Restaurant is an upscale dining establishment at Kaleiçi Yat Limanı — the ancient Roman harbour of Antalya, repurposed as a yacht marina — offering a refined Mediterranean menu in one of the most historically significant harbor settings in Turkey. The restaurant's terrace extends directly over the water's edge, with tables positioned to face the lighthouse, the moored yachts, and the crumbling remains of the Roman harbor walls that have framed this bay for two millennia. This combination of gastronomic quality and historical setting places Marina Restaurant among Antalya's most sought-after reservations for special occasion dining. The kitchen is dedicated to seafood excellence: the six-course seafood tasting menu is the signature offering, progressing through cold starters, a fish tartare, a bisque, a fish main, a seafood pasta course, and a dessert, each prepared with produce sourced from the Antalya coast and Aegean fishing grounds. Lobster bisque — rich, deeply reduced, and finished with cream and a lobster claw garnish — is one of the most ordered single dishes from the tasting format. Whole grilled sea bass, selected and grilled to order, is available as an à la carte alternative for those preferring a shorter meal. The wine list is the most extensive at any Kaleiçi restaurant, spanning Turkish premium labels and imported European selections. Dress code is smart-casual for dinner. Reservations are essential; the marina-side tables book out weeks in advance in summer.

Tips for visiting
- Reserve marina-side terrace tables at least one week ahead in summer — they are the most in-demand in all of Kaleiçi.
- The six-course tasting menu is the best expression of the kitchen; order it if time allows rather than à la carte.
- Smart-casual dress is appropriate for dinner; beach wear is not suitable given the calibre of the setting.
- Request a table facing the lighthouse for the most photogenic harbour view.
- Lunch at Marina Restaurant is less formal and considerably more available than dinner — the view is equally impressive in daylight.
Accessibility
Marina Restaurant is accessed from within the Kaleiçi marina complex, which is reached through the historic old town. The marina itself is largely flat and paved at quayside level. The restaurant terrace is at the same level as the marina promenade. Wheelchair access to the terrace seating is manageable, though navigating Kaleiçi's cobblestone approach lanes requires care.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should reservations be made at Marina Restaurant?
For summer dinner service (June–September), reservations one to two weeks ahead are advisable for harbour-side tables. Lunch reservations are easier to obtain. The restaurant can be reserved directly by phone or through the Kaleiçi Marina contact channels.
What is the approximate cost of the tasting menu?
The six-course seafood tasting menu is priced at approximately 800–1,000 TL per person excluding wine. With wine pairings, the full experience can reach 1,200–1,500 TL per person, placing it among Antalya's most expensive dining options.
Is the Roman harbour actually visible from the restaurant?
Yes. The restaurant sits within the marina that was built on the footprint of Antalya's ancient Roman harbour, and the original harbour walls and lighthouse are clearly visible from the terrace seating.
Is there an à la carte option or only tasting menus?
Both options are available. The tasting menu is the kitchen's flagship, but visitors can also order individual dishes à la carte. The whole grilled sea bass is the most popular à la carte main.
