How much is a taxi in Antalya? Fares & Calculator
Antalya taxis use a city-set meter, the same yellow-cab system you find across Turkey. In the central districts (Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Kepez) the meter starts at ₺50 and adds ₺50 per kilometre, with a ₺200 minimum. There is no night tariff, so the rate holds 24 hours a day. Trips out to the resort towns are where it adds up: Belek, Side, Kemer and especially Alanya are a fair drive from the airport, and the outer districts run on a higher tariff than the centre.
Quick answer
Antalya taxis start at ₺50 plus ₺50/km, with a ₺200 minimum. A 13 km trip (antalya airport (ayt) → lara) runs about €13.2 (₺700).

Common Antalya taxi trips
Antalya Airport (AYT) sits about 13 km east of the centre, so a metered ride into town is short and cheap by Istanbul standards. The beach resorts are the longer hauls. For Belek, Side or Kemer, a pre-booked fixed-price transfer often works out simpler than the meter, because you know the cost before you get in and the driver is waiting at arrivals with your name. Use the estimator above to sanity-check any price you are quoted.
Taxi vs other ways into town
| Option | Duration | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi | 15–25 min (centre) | ~₺700–900 to centre | Resorts cost more; outer-district tariff is higher |
| Private transfer | 20–60 min | fixed, from ~€25 | Best value for Belek / Side / Kemer |
| Havaş airport bus | 30–45 min | ~₺120–250 | To the city centre and otogar |
| Antray tram + bus | 45–70 min | ~₺40 | Reaches the centre; cheapest option |
Avoid the common taxi scams
- Ask for the meter (taksimetre) before you set off. For the long resort runs some drivers prefer a flat price; that can be fine, but agree the number first and check it against the estimate here.
- For trips between towns (airport to Belek or Side, say), Antalya's council publishes set fares for some routes. Knowing the rough figure before you ride makes it much harder to be overcharged.
- Pay by card or app where you can. A receipt is your friend if there is ever a dispute.
- In peak summer the queue at the airport rank can be long. That is normal; avoid anyone offering to jump it with an unofficial car.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi in Antalya?
In the central districts the meter starts at ₺50 and adds ₺50 per kilometre, with a ₺200 minimum (2026 tariff). The airport to the city centre is about 13 km, so roughly ₺700–900. The outer resort districts use a higher tariff.
Is there a night tariff for taxis in Antalya?
No. Antalya runs a single rate around the clock, the same as the rest of Turkey. A driver who claims a night surcharge is overcharging you.
How much is a taxi from Antalya Airport to Belek or Side?
These are 35–65 km runs, so the metered fare climbs into four figures and the outer-district tariff applies. For these routes a fixed-price transfer booked in advance is usually the cleaner option. Use the estimator above for a metered ballpark.
Do Antalya taxis take credit cards?
Many do, but it is not guaranteed, especially with older cars. Carry some cash as a backup, or book a transfer you can pay for online.
Is a taxi or a transfer better for the resorts?
For the airport to the centre, a metered taxi is quick and cheap. For Belek, Side, Kemer or Alanya, a pre-booked transfer is often simpler and the price is fixed before you travel.
Do I tip taxi drivers in Antalya?
It is not expected. Rounding up the fare is plenty, and a little extra is normal on a long resort run with luggage.
