How to get from Antalya airport to your hotel using public transport instead of a taxi transfer?

At Antalya airport you can buy an Antalya Kart transit card right away and take the tram to the old town (Kaleiçi) — a convenient starting point for getting around.

Local buses in Antalya don't announce stops — you need to flag them down at the bus stop and ask the driver to stop where you need.

Yandex Maps works well for planning routes around the city — it shows transport options, travel time and approximate fare.

You can exchange cash at currency exchange booths right at Antalya and Istanbul Sabiha airports for amounts around $20 — the rates are quite reasonable, so there's no need to buy lira in advance.

You can take a direct bus from the city to the airport early in the morning (around 7:00) for a domestic flight — from entering the terminal to getting a boarding pass on a domestic flight takes under 30 minutes, so a separate transfer isn't necessary.
