TL;DR
To reach Terra City mall in Antalya, in August 2026 participants advised taking the bus straight from the hotel area and returning from the stop opposite the mall; you need an AntalyaKart to ride. A taxi also works: city taxis, according to participants, run strictly on the meter and take cash, preferably lira, while Yandex Go works but often will not accept pickups at large hotels — walk about 300 meters away.
You can take a bus directly from the hotel area to Terra City mall; for the return trip, the bus stop is opposite the mall, so a taxi is not necessary.
Near the Ramada hotel, you can buy an AntalyaKart, and one card can be used for the whole group. Until you get one, bring 50 TRY cash per person and ask another passenger to tap for you when boarding in exchange for cash; buy an AntalyaKart for the return journey.
A handy plan from June 2026: take a taxi to Terra City, buy a transit card while walking around the center, and return by bus.
Yandex Go in Antalya, according to June 2026 reviews, works well: the fare is charged to the card linked to the account, the price can differ slightly from the estimate depending on the meter, and cash payment can also be selected. In late August participants added that the estimated fare is shown in lira. Problems arise with pickups at large hotels: in September guests at hotels in Kundu wrote that cars would not come and rides were cancelled.
Ride-hailing taxis (e.g. Yandex) can't pick you up right at the hotel — local taxi drivers block competitors from hotel grounds. Walk about 300m away from the hotel for the pickup to be accepted. Drop-off back at the hotel, however, is not a problem.
City taxis in Antalya always use the meter. Before getting in, confirm whether the fare is metered or fixed. It's better to walk to a nearby taxi stand rather than taking a hotel taxi.
Regular city taxis in Antalya generally use the meter, but require cash payment; Turkish lira is preferable.
In Antalya, yellow taxi-call boxes on poles and trees can be used to summon a cab; press the button and pay the driver in cash.
Google Maps helps you find a taxi stand: in August–September 2026 participants advised searching for "taxi" near your location — the nearest stands appear, and you can walk there or call them. There are many such points in the Kundu area, and near Kaleiçi, according to participants in September, there are several taxi stands where cars run on the meter.
When returning to the hotel by taxi, carry the hotel-issued room card/magnetic key and wristband; you may need to show them at the property entrance or gate.
