  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport needs a visa, and if so apply only on the official e-Visa portal; lookalike sites add fees.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗At mosques cover shoulders and knees, take your shoes off at the door, and women carry a headscarf; do not walk in front of people praying.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Yellow taxis must run the meter; agree nothing else, or use a ride-hailing app that shows the fare upfront.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry Turkish lira in small notes for ferries, mosques, tea and markets; prices change fast, so check quoted prices against the current rate.

Antalya is the main city and airport of Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Its old quarter, Kaleiçi, has an Ottoman-era harbour and Roman-era gate. Perge, Aspendos and Termessos are within reach and resorts run along the coast on both sides.
