TL;DR
The easiest option is Yandex Taxi. For budget travelers: take a shuttle to Terminal T1, buy an Antalyakart transit card, and ride the tram to the Mall.
If the whole group will not fit in a standard Yandex Go sedan, you will need two cars. To travel together, book a transfer in advance, as it typically provides a minivan.
In a regular taxi, make sure the driver switches on the meter; it is usually mounted near the rear-view mirror.
In Antalya, the price shown in Yandex Go for an airport ride is usually a preliminary estimate: the final fare can be slightly higher because the trip is charged by the meter. If your bank card is linked, any extra amount is charged automatically in the app rather than paid separately to the driver.
At Antalya Airport, a booked Yandex car can sometimes be hard to locate, so many travelers simply take a standard yellow taxi at the terminal. Reports say it may cost about the same as Yandex, and in some cases even slightly less.
The most convenient option is Yandex Taxi directly from the airport. For a cheaper route: take the shuttle to Terminal T1, buy and top up an Antalyakart transit card, then board the tram toward the Mall.
All major transfer aggregators currently operate reliably from Antalya Airport. Yandex Taxi is always a solid backup option.
Yandex Taxi and local airport taxis cost roughly the same — often the same drivers. The difference: local taxis are cash only, preferably in Turkish lira.
