Getting Around Antalya: Transport Guide
Getting around Antalya is straightforward. The city has a tram and an extensive bus network, dolmuş minibuses link the towns, and organised tours include hotel transfers so you rarely need your own car for sightseeing.
City tram and buses
A nostalgic tram and a modern light-rail plus city buses connect the centre, Konyaaltı, the museum and the bus terminal using a rechargeable AntalyaKart.
Dolmuş and intercity buses
Shared minibuses (dolmuş) and frequent coaches link Antalya with Side, Belek, Kemer and Alanya cheaply.
Taxis and apps
Metered yellow taxis are widely available; agree on the meter or a price for longer trips.
Tours and transfers
Most day tours include round-trip hotel pickup, so you can reach distant sights without driving or navigating yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a car in Antalya?
Not for most holidays — the tram, buses, dolmuş and tour transfers cover the city and resorts. A car helps only for independent exploring of remote areas.
How do you get from Antalya to the resort towns?
By dolmuş minibus or intercity coach, by taxi, or via included hotel transfers on organised tours.
