Antalya Necropol Museum is a lesser-known but fascinating museum that showcases burial traditions from ancient Antalya and the surrounding region.

The museum displays sarcophagi, rock-cut tombs, funerary inscriptions, and grave goods dating back to the Roman and earlier periods. What makes it particularly interesting is how it presents the concept of the “necropolis” meaning “city of the dead” and explains ancient beliefs about the afterlife. The stone carvings and inscriptions provide insight into daily life, social status, and religious practices of past civilizations.

As for entrance, it is generally included in the Museum Pass Turkey, and individual entry tickets are typically affordable. (The entrance fee is 200 Turkish Lira).
