Antalya, as one of the most important tourism centers in Turkey, has an extensive transportation network in terms of both national and international connections. Transportation to the city is possible by air, land and sea, and there is a wide variety of transportation options within the city.
Air transportation to Antalya is provided by Antalya Airport. The airport is approximately 13 kilometers from the city center and serves many national and international flights. Bus, taxi and car rental services are available for transportation from the airport to the city center and the surrounding touristic areas. In addition, many hotels and resorts offer private transfer services to their guests.
Transportation to Antalya by road is provided by bus services from all over Turkey. The bus terminal (otogar) in the city offers regular bus services to various parts of Antalya and other cities in Turkey. In addition, traveling by private car is also quite comfortable and safe, as the quality of intercity and regional roads is high.
Urban transportation is supported by tram, bus and dolmus lines. There are two main tram lines in Antalya; one runs from the city center to the Expo area and the other from the city center to the airport and Lara district. Bus and minibus lines provide transportation to almost every point of the city and offer a wide network. These vehicles usually run frequently and are reasonably priced. Taxi services within the city are also quite common and available 24 hours a day.
Transportation to universities in Antalya is generally facilitated by the location of the campuses at various points in the city. Especially large universities, such as Akdeniz University, are directly connected to the city bus lines. There are also some private shuttle buses for university students and staff, so transportation in and around the campus is seamless. In addition, bicycle paths and walking paths offer healthy and environmentally friendly alternatives for transportation on university campuses.
As a result, both transportation to the city and transportation to the city and universities in Antalya are highly developed and supported by various options. These transportation facilities increase the attractiveness of the city in both touristic and educational fields.
