Antalya Airport is located northeast of central Antalya and serves as the main air hub for the resorts along the province’s Mediterranean coast. Travelers heading to Lara, Kundu, Belek, Side, Alanya, and Kemer usually arrive through it. For many tourists, it is the first point of contact with the region, especially during the summer season, when the number of international flights increases significantly.

The airport has been operating since 1960 and has been significantly expanded over time in response to growing tourist traffic. Today, it has separate terminals for international and domestic flights, allowing it to handle both scheduled and charter routes. In terms of passenger traffic, the airport is among the largest in Turkey.

The terminals offer the essential services needed for travel: information desks, cafes, shops, ATMs, currency exchange points, car rental, waiting areas, and taxi services. For passengers spending more time at the airport, premium lounges are available. Navigation at the airport is designed with international tourists in mind, so finding your way around is usually not difficult.

For travelers, the airport is important not only as a transport hub but also as a convenient starting point for trips along the coast and into central Antalya. From here, it is relatively quick to reach the city area of Antalya by tram, bus, or taxi. Depending on the time of day and traffic conditions, the journey to the city center usually takes about half an hour.
