- Use only the official taxi rank outside Arrivals and insist the meter is switched on; some drivers may offer a fixed price higher than the metered fare.
- Ignore touts inside the terminal offering cheap transfers or taxis; pre-book only through reputable companies.
- City bus drivers do not reliably accept cash; use an Antalyakart or a contactless bank card, or you may be refused boarding.
- At the Olympos junction, do not rely on unofficial minibus drivers; arrange a pick-up with your accommodation or use an official taxi.
