How to get a taxi in Antalya (does Yandex Go/Uber work, and how to avoid taxi scams)?

TL;DR

Yandex Go works well in central Antalya with metered, fair pricing, but in outlying resort areas (like Kunду) cars may take long or not show up — ask hotel reception to call a taxi or flag one down at the hotel taxi stand instead.

What the community said

If you have no mobile internet, you can find a taxi near the barrier or exit, but ask for and agree on the fare before getting in; negotiate if needed.

A pre-booked individual transfer shows up exactly as arranged, working like a regular taxi. If you want to browse the Duty Free at the airport, arrive early since the shopping area is large.

Private airport transfer

Booking a Yandex Go transfer a day in advance is unreliable — the car may simply not show up. It's safer to order a taxi on the day of travel or book a transfer through a different provider.

In some other Turkish cities (e.g. Mardin) Uber works well as a regular city taxi, showing the estimated fare upfront with card or cash payment; in Antalya, Yandex Go serves the same purpose.

Uber (in other Turkish cities)

In the Kunду resort area, ordering a taxi via app can be unreliable — it's more practical to flag down local drivers waiting near hotels and along the road.

Kunду district

Finding a cargo taxi/van to move belongings (e.g. from Antalya to Alanya) is difficult — there's no dedicated cargo taxi service, so you need to arrange it individually.

Cargo taxi/van

It's better to have the hotel reception call a taxi rather than negotiating directly with drivers at the taxi stand — this reduces the risk of overpaying.

Taxi via hotel reception

Yandex Go in Antalya is reliable and fair — fares are calculated by the driver's meter rather than negotiated on the spot, reducing the risk of being overcharged.

Public transport in the Kunду resort area is poorly developed, so getting around usually relies on taxis rather than buses.
