İskele Mosque in Antalya sits along Mermerli Street beside the old beach and the historic Old Port. Perched on a vintage breakwater above the yacht harbor, the modest nineteenth‑century stone mosque is reached via stone steps descending to the waterfront. Constructed in the late 1800s, its compact design is distinguished by a natural spring that rises beneath the prayer area; four stone pillars support the building above this water source. The mosque’s full stone construction and surrounding vegetation create a harmonious maritime atmosphere. Although relatively young compared with Antalya’s older monuments, İskele Camii holds cultural significance as an active neighborhood place of worship and a local landmark reflecting late‑Ottoman‑era religious architecture in a seaside setting. Visiting periods generally align with prayer times; admission is typically free. The waterfront location and steps mean access can be uneven.
