Good to Know
- Antalya has excellent public transport connectivity; the AntRay tram and buses are reliable, cheap, and frequent.
- For airport arrival, budget travelers should use the tram or bus (circa TRY 4–35). Metered taxis and private transfers cost significantly more but are faster and more direct.
- Official taxi queues exist outside all three terminals. Always confirm the meter is running or agree on a fixed fare in advance; night tariffs apply after sunset.
- The AntalyaKart (reusable public transport card, starting at 1 TRY) allows transfers between buses/trams within one hour at no extra cost and is cheaper than single tickets.
- There are no international ferry connections from Antalya; for Greek islands, travel to Fethiye (2.5 hours) or Kaş (4 hours).
- Summer season significantly impacts long-distance bus prices. Book intercity buses in advance if traveling June–September.
- Kaleiçi Marina in the Old Town is the main departure point for boat trips and seasonal ferry services; check directly with operators as schedules vary by season and demand.
