Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Antalya visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
Late spring and early autumn (Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct) bring warm, sunny days ideal for sightseeing, the coast and day trips, without the peak-summer heat.
Spring (Apr–Jun)
Warm and green, perfect for the old town, ancient cities, waterfalls and the sea before the heat builds.
Summer (Jul–Aug)
Hot and busy, prime for beaches and boat trips but very warm for ruins; start day trips early.
Autumn (Sep–Oct)
Warm sea and pleasant air make autumn excellent for both the coast and sightseeing — a top time to visit.
Winter (Nov–Mar)
Mild and quiet with occasional rain; great value for the old town, ruins and Pamukkale, though the sea is cool.
Beat the heat
In summer, do ruins and Pamukkale early or late and save midday for the sea or the pool.
One day
Enough for the old town, waterfalls and a boat trip.
Two days
Add Pamukkale and the white terraces.
Three days
The sweet spot: the city, Pamukkale and the ancient cities.
Four to five days
Add Kekova, Sagalassos or an overnight Cappadocia trip.
A week or more
Combine sightseeing with beach time along the Turkish Riviera.
Travelling with kids
Mix theme parks, the aquarium, boat trips and beaches at a gentle pace.
On foot
Antalya’s Kaleiçi old town and harbour are compact and best explored on foot.
Tram & buses
A nostalgic tram and city buses link the old town, beaches and museum cheaply.
Day-trip transport
Tours bundle transport for Pamukkale, the ancient cities, Kekova and Cappadocia with hotel pickup.
Boats
Boat trips depart the old harbour and marinas for the coast and coves.
Taxis & transfers

From the airport
Antalya Airport is about 15–20 minutes from the centre by tram, bus or taxi.
Book day trips ahead

Turkish lira
Turkey uses the lira; Antalya is great value, with cards widely accepted and ATMs everywhere.
Sun protection
Bring sun cream, a hat and water for ruins and the coast, especially in summer.
Try Turkish cuisine
Enjoy mezze, kebabs, fresh seafood and Turkish tea in the harbour and old town.
Pick the right boat
Choose a smaller yacht for swimming and quiet coves, or a pirate boat for a lively family day.

Pamukkale and the ancient cities mean early starts; get a good night’s sleep and book pickup.
