Where to buy Antalya Kart and can you pay cash on public transport to Antalya airport?

Within Antalya city, public transport also accepts contactless payment with a foreign bank card, not just the Antalya Kart; cash is only accepted on intercity routes.

Fares have risen: previously 200 (lira) loaded on the Antalya Kart covered a couple of days of rides, but now that amount only covers a single day.

Antalya Kart can also be bought in advance on Avito (online marketplace) — cards are often listed there, useful if you want to get one before your trip.

Antalya Kart can be purchased near Antalya Mall, where there are bus stops and kiosks selling transit cards. If you don't have a card, cash is not accepted on buses to the airport — take a taxi or private transfer instead.

If you have a layover with an overnight stay in Antalya, it's worth estimating how many trips you'll need and loading enough credit on the Antalya Kart to cover both this visit and a future one — the card is reusable and rechargeable.

For trips to and from Antalya Airport, a private transfer is a convenient option if you don't have an Antalya Kart or are traveling with luggage. Transfer services can be booked through local travel agencies or online aggregators.
