SNAPSHOT
I like to get away from the hustle of modern Antalya, and wander the quiet narrow streets of the old centre, Kaleiçi.
FROM AIPORT TO CITY
With no public transport, catch a Havaº bus from the airport terminal to the city centre. It takes 35 minutes and is €4. An airport taxi will cost about €20.
