Duration and distance are estimates. Distance is the straight-line sum between stops; the actual road is longer. Check with a maps app before you set off.

Safety and caution

Post-earthquake reconstruction is ongoing in central Antakya; some streets may be construction sites, so check whether buildings are open before you go. Demirkapı is reached on foot via a steep valley path.
