Antalya is one of the easiest major resort cities in Türkiye to get around without a car. Everything revolves around Antalya Airport (AYT), the huge Otogar long-distance bus terminal, the modern AntRay tram line that connects them directly, municipal buses, and super-affordable taxis + Bolt.

Tram & Public Transport Network
Antalya’s transport heart is the AntRay light-rail tram. One main line (T1) runs directly from the airport through the city centre and Kaleiçi area to the Otogar bus terminal. It’s fast, air-conditioned and connects almost everything tourists need.

Taxi & Ride-Hailing
Taxis and apps are the fastest way when you have luggage or travel at night. Official ranks at the airport and Otogar keep everything safe and predictable.

Car Rental & Shared Mobility
Antalya makes it easy to rent a car right at the airport if you want to explore the region (Phaselis, Olympos, Köprülü Canyon). No big bike-sharing system like in Europe, but car rental desks are everywhere.
Car rental at the airport:
- All major companies (Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Enterprise, local firms)
- Book in advance for best prices
Pro tip: Bolt also offers Bolt Drive (rent a car straight from the app) — perfect for short trips.
