Private day trips from Antalya to places you'll never forget

The best time to visit Antalya is from April to October for sunny beach weather. Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures for sightseeing with fewer crowds, while summer brings peak beach season with temperatures reaching 95°F (35°C).

Turkiye uses the Turkish lira (TRY). Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards, but it's helpful to carry some cash for local markets and smaller establishments.

Turkish is the official language in Antalya. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, making it easy for international visitors to communicate.

Popular day trips from Antalya include the white terraces of Pamukkale, the coastal town of Kas, and the ancient ruins at Aphrodisias.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes for ancient sites, and swimwear for beaches. Bring modest clothing for visiting mosques and an umbrella for occasional rain.

Antalya is generally very safe for travelers. It's a major travel destination with good infrastructure and security. Use standard travel precautions like keeping valuables secure and being aware of your surroundings.

Antalya Airport (AYT) is the main international airport serving the city, located about 8 miles (13 km) from the city center. It offers direct flights to many European cities and connecting flights worldwide.

Visit Hadrian's Gate, the ruins of Termessos Örenyeri, the Antalya Saat Kulesi observation deck, and the Yivliminare Cami minaret.
