Taxis in Antalya are represented by yellow cars (mostly cars of European manufacturers), equipped with taximeters (it is important to make sure that it is turned on by the driver when boarding) and a luminous sign “Taksi”.
At the arrival airport (terminals 1 and 2) you will be asked to take an official taxi (no reservation required). It is worth noting that taxi drivers line up in 2 lines at the airport parking lots: after going to the first one, they will take you to the dolmush stop (shopping center "Deepo"), using the services of which you will get to any place within the city, and going to the second line, the driver, if desired, will take you anywhere, including to another locality. If you have any questions regarding travel, they will be answered by an English- and even Russian-speaking employee at the parking lot (he will also explain to the driver if necessary).
