Rules in force · 5
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport is visa-exempt; if it is not, apply only at evisa.gov.tr — lookalike sites charge extra and some sell nothing.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗At mosques cover shoulders and knees, take shoes off at the door, and women carry a headscarf; stay out during prayer times.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Taxis must run the taximeter; refuse flat quotes, or book through BiTaksi or Uber so the ride is logged.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry lira in small notes for tea, markets, tips and toilets; prices move with inflation, so treat every printed price as dated.
  • Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Do not take stones, coins or tiles from ancient sites, and export no antiques without a museum certificate; travellers have been detained at airport customs.

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.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

A tram runs through the centre; buses and taxis cover the rest. Ruins and coast towns need a rental car, bus or tour.

Eat & sleep

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Kaleiçi

Old town and harbour; walkable, restored houses as small hotels.

Lara

Resort and beach strip east of the centre; quieter, needs transport.

Practical

What a day costs, what to watch out for, and the pocket card

Watch out

  • Midsummer heat is intense; swim and sightsee early or late.
  • Agree taxi fares or use the meter.
  • Shoulder-season hotels and some restaurants close.
