How to travel between Antalya and nearby coastal towns (like Kaş or Kalkan) without renting a car?

TL;DR

The city Antalyakart card doesn't work on intercity buses — you need separate tickets. Between Antalya and towns like Kaş/Kalkan there are intercity buses or private transfers, then local dolmuş/taxi to reach specific spots.

What the community said

Cash isn't accepted on Antalya city transport — only a foreign bank card (Russian Mir cards and UnionPay don't work) or an Antalyakart card (reusable or single-use cardboard). Cards can be bought and topped up at machines at bus stops and the airport; the Antalyakart app helps locate sale/top-up points and plan routes.

Antalyakart card / card payment only

Getting from Kızıltoprak (Kızılot) directly to Antalya Mall by intercity bus without a transfer may not be possible — route planners only show connections with a transfer.

Antalya Mall

Without a car, getting between resort towns is trickier — take an intercity bus from Antalya to Kaş/Kalkan or book a private transfer, then use local dolmuş minibuses or taxis to reach specific sights from there.

Antalya–Kaş/Kalkan intercity bus

The city transit card (Antalyakart) only works within city limits — it's not valid on intercity routes, and city buses don't travel outside Antalya at all.
