⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use the official taxi rank outside Arrivals; ignore touts who approach you inside the terminal offering cheap rides.
  • Insist on the meter: the official Antalya taxi tariff is 50 TRY start plus 50 TRY per km. If a driver quotes a flat fare, check the rank's fare signboard and agree the meter before getting in.
  • Do not hand cash to the city bus driver; drivers do not reliably accept cash. Get an Antalyakart or use a contactless bank card at the reader.
  • Confirm card payment before boarding a taxi; some taxi card machines are said to be unavailable. Carry some lira for the bus ticket machine or Antalyakart top-up if needed.
