antalya, türkiye: complete guide and sample itinerary

Available for hire
Mountains, beaches, and ruins... oh my!
Antalya has a little bit of everything, and I think it might be my new favorite city in Turkey after spending two weeks there this summer with my husband. We usually are distracted travelers, rarely staying more than two days in one city, and so staying in Antalya for two weeks straight was a welcomed divergence from the norm for us.
If you're looking for a place where you can relax on the beach one minute, go for a hike and explore some ruins the next, and finish the day at a beautiful restaurant with a view in the city, Antalya is the place for you. I love the juxtaposition of old and new, city and natural beauty, and simple and extravagant that Antalya has to offer.
In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know to plan a trip to Antalya, Türkiye-- whether it be a two week vacation or a couple day excursion.
**Included: a list of basic information for travel to Türkiye, recommendations for how to get around, places to stay, places to eat, what to do, as well as a sample 7 day itinerary.

The Basics
Timezone
Istanbul (GMT +03:00)
**Protip: Fight jetlag by avoiding mid afternoon naps and going to bed no earlier than 9:00pm. Stay hydrated, and don't do the math of what time it would be in your previous time zone!
Entering the Country and Visas
**Note: Depending on what passport you have, you'll need to obtain a visa in order to enter the country. Check with your embassy's website for entry requirements.
Apply for a Tourist e-Visa before coming. I recommend printing it out as well as having a screenshot on your phone and having it on hand throughout your journey. To do this, you will need your passport and credit card to make the payment for the visa. It should get approved right away and you can download your visa.
