day1

Getting to know Antalya

An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.

day2

The main sights

The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

    Antalya: Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop in Old Town – All Included

    5.0· 69from €34

    Antalya: Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop in Old Town – All Included — rated 5 from 69 reviews, about 2h.

Many museums close on a Monday or Tuesday — check the opening hours before you set out.

day4

A day out of town

Get beyond the city: the nearby towns and countryside are usually what stays with you. A rental car is the practical way — public transport on these routes is slow and infrequent.

  • All day

    Dosemealti

    Dosemealti is 22 km from Antalya, about 31m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day5

Walking and what you missed

A free day. Go back to wherever you wanted to linger, and add one or two places from the list you haven't reached.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.

day6

A tour, or a second trip out

A good day for a guided tour: a guide tells you what the signs don't, and takes the driving off your hands.

  • All day

    Beldibi Kemer

    Beldibi Kemer is 33 km from Antalya, about 38m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day7

Last day and departure

A calm finish: a favourite spot once more, some shopping, a late lunch. Leave yourself room before the airport.

Allow twice what the map says for the airport run — it is never the quiet hour when you need it.

Great stay with family

Great stay at Rixos. Staff couldn't be any more helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Lifeguard Hesam always had a smile and made sure the kids stayed safe whilst swimming. Furkan from Turunc restaurant made it a special evening. Excellent all round experience.
