Do you need to book an airport transfer in Antalya, or can you get to your hotel by bus/taxi/rental car instead?

TL;DR
An airport transfer isn't mandatory: public buses or your own rental car work fine to reach hotels in Antalya, but hailing a Yandex Taxi from the hotel is unreliable — cars sometimes accept the order and never show up.
One traveler tried repeatedly to order a Yandex Taxi from the hotel — the order got accepted but the car never actually showed up. They ended up getting around fine using the regular public bus instead.
With a pre-booked transfer, the driver dropped passengers off in the city center (skipping the final stop) without any pushback — everyone had coordinated this by phone in advance, so the driver knew not to wait for a return trip.
If you're arriving by your own car rather than flying in, you don't need an airport transfer at all — you can just drive straight to your hotel.
