TL;DR
In Antalya, there's a well-reviewed Turkish-speaking vet named Sevvet near Marcan Antalya who is attentive and explains everything in detail; for export paperwork, check with a local vet whether your home-country certificate (e.g. issued in Russia) meets international standards, since the local Tarim (agriculture) office staff often don't speak English.
A traveler is looking for a vet clinic in Antalya with English- or Russian-speaking staff, unsure whether a pet certificate issued at departure (e.g. Sheremetyevo airport in Russia) will be accepted for export — staff at the local Tarim (agriculture) office don't speak English.
Vet named Sevvet, clinic located near Marcan Antalya — described by a pet owner as very attentive, caring with animals, and thorough in explaining diagnosis and treatment. He speaks Turkish only, but free translation assistance can be arranged for Russian-speaking clients.
Tip for pet owners: what matters isn't the country where the export certificate was issued, but whether it meets international standards (e.g. TRACES/EU format); confirm this directly with a local vet before your flight.
