About AYT Survival Guide
I’m an Antalya local, and I know this airport like the back of my hand.
Living in Antalya and spending countless hours around AYT, I see thousands of tourists arriving tired, excited, and often a little confused. I see families getting overcharged by unofficial taxis, couples lost looking for their tour buses, and people paying crazy prices for a simple bottle of water at the terminal.
That’s exactly why I created AYT Survival Guide.
My goal is simple: to share my local knowledge so you can start your Turkish Riviera holiday without stress. I know how things work here, from which transfer options are actually worth it to the small tricks that save money and the fastest ways to your hotel.
This site is for travellers flying into Antalya, from the UK and everywhere else, who want clear, checked information before they land.
Welcome to Turkey, and enjoy your stress-free holiday!
How we research our guides
- Local, first-hand knowledge. We live in Antalya and use the airport, the roads, the trams and the boat trips ourselves.
- Official sources first. Facts such as terminals, entry rules and driving documents are checked against the Antalya Airport website and the UK government’s travel advice for Turkey.
- Real prices, with dates. Transfer, tour and entry prices are checked on the booking sites and at the source, and every guide shows when it was last checked. Prices in Turkey change quickly, so we update them regularly.
- Upfront about the downsides. If a trip is a very long day, a shop stop eats your time or a cheaper option exists, we say so.
How this site makes money
AYT Survival Guide is free to read. Some links, for example to KiwiTaxi, GetYourGuide, Localrent and Yesim, are affiliate links: if you book through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to services we would use ourselves, no company pays us for a positive review, and we always show the cheaper non-affiliate options too, such as the meter taxi, the tram or the public bus. Each guide with affiliate links carries a short disclosure, and you can read more in our privacy policy.
