TL;DR
Take a dolmus to Manavgat, get off at highway D400, cross the road and catch a bus to Antalya. Alternatively, exit near the airport (Deepo) and use Yandex Go taxi.
From Side/Manavgat, take a dolmus to the Manavgat bus station (otogar) — the dolmus stop is usually near your hotel — then transfer to a bus to Antalya's bus station. The whole trip takes about 2 hours.
