Things to do in Antalya Airport
Antalya Airport is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera and one of Turkey's busiest international hubs. Even a short layover is rewarded by a quick trip to Kaleiçi — Antalya's beautifully preserved Roman-Ottoman old town with its ancient harbor, winding lanes, and excellent restaurants. The nearby ruins of Perge and Aspendos are accessible on longer layovers. The airport itself is large and modern with good dining, shopping, and duty-free options.

- Antalya's beach clubs and restaurants along Konyaaltı and Lara Beach are 20–30 minutes from the airport and worth it in summer.
