There is no single train or metro from the terminal, so your choice is between a pre-booked private transfer, an airport taxi, a rental car, or the tram and buses into the city (with a change for the resorts). This guide compares price, time and frequency for every popular destination.

Buying tickets in Antalya
Antalya uses the reloadable AntalyaKart for the T2 (Antray) tram that leaves directly from the airport terminal, plus city buses and dolmuş. Buy and load the card at the machine on the airport tram platform, or from AntalyaKart kiosks and the Android app; the blank card costs about 100 TL and a single ride is roughly 27 TL. You tap the card on boarding rather than paying the driver. There is no contactless bank-card tap on the tram, so load enough credit before you travel.
Taxi scams & safety in Antalya
The tram is fixed-fare and scam-proof, which is the main reason to use it. If you take a taxi, use the official rank outside arrivals and insist the meter (taksimetre) runs; drivers who quote a flat price or claim the meter is broken usually overcharge, especially with luggage. Do not follow touts inside the terminal offering a car. Uber operates in Antalya but mostly dispatches licensed taxis. Agree nothing verbally, and keep small notes so a driver cannot claim to have no change.
Step-free access in Antalya
The terminal is well set up; the onward journey is where you need to plan.
- Inside the airport, all floors are flat and stair-free with lifts and ramps throughout, low-height check-in and information counters, accessible toilets, and lifts with Braille and audible announcements. Wheelchairs and personal assistance are available from arrival, arranged at the information counter.
- There are 19 accessible parking spaces — 7 at the Domestic Terminal, 12 at the International Terminals.
- For the journey onward, Antalya does not publish step-free details for the tram and public buses, so we cannot state whether a given vehicle will board without steps.
If you need guaranteed step-free transport to your hotel, book an accessible transfer in advance and confirm the vehicle type with the operator. Several Antalya companies run wheelchair-accessible vehicles specifically for airport transfers.
