Photos for Antalya are still on their way. Every listing below is real.

Terminals

Antalya Airport (AYT) — ~13 km northeast of the centre — Turkey's busiest resort airport.

Check your terminal before you go; the airport's own site has the live terminal maps.

Lounges: access and cost

Pay-per-use lounges (e.g. IGA-style) plus airline lounges; confirm current access.

Walk-up paid access varies by lounge — confirm on the lounge's own page before counting on it. Credit-card lounge access is the quiet hack: if your card includes it, the airport lounges are where it pays off (card-network links coming to this guide).

Food inside the airport

Resort-airport food: Turkish staples plus international chains; prices are tourist-level.

Ground transport: real prices

The AntRay tram reaches the city (~30–40 min); Havaş shuttles and taxis cover the hotels. Taxis to Kaleiçi ~25 min off-peak.

Prices move — confirm on the airport or transit operator's site before you travel. Only use official taxi ranks; ignore terminal touts.

Layover itineraries

3 hours — stay airside. 3 hours — stay airside. Summer queues are the risk.

6 hours — quick city trip. 6 hours — Kaleiçi is ~25 min each way: two hours in the old town and harbour, back with buffer. Doable off-peak with carry-on.

Overnight — sleep near the airport. Overnight — the Lara/Kundu resort strip or Kaleiçi's boutique hotels. Compare on the usual hotel sites. Book via Booking.com and compare — airport hotels spike on disruption days.
