Essential Information
Getting Around
Travelling by bus or car
Passports and Visas
Health and Safety
Vaccinations
The excellent public transport network and taxi service in the Antalya region means that hiring a car isn’t necessary to explore the area. However, if you would prefer to have the independence that a self-drive offers, car hire is easy to arrange. Dolmus buses are convenient and cheap. There is also a local bus service, and a tramway that connects the city centre with Konyaalti Beach.
Travelling by bus or car
Buses run regularly within the city of Antalya. The dolmus service also connects the city with the rest of the region, and is an authentic – albeit cramped – way of getting from A to B. Travel is cheap.
If you’re a confident driver, and you’re happy to take on the often hectic roads in Turkey, car hire is a great way of getting out and exploring the sights. Drive on the right hand side of the road.
Passports and Visas
You will need a visa to enter Turkey, which can be bought in advance via the e-Visa website for $20. Passports should be valid for a minimum of 6 months from time of entry. For more information and advice, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey/entry-requirements or the Foreign Office at www.fco.gov.uk/en/
Health and Safety
You should make sure that you have adequate travel insurance, which will help to protect you while on holiday in Turkey. For more info, see www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey/health
Vaccinations
Routine jabs should be up to date, but no extra vaccinations are needed for Turkey. For the most up-to-date advice, see your doctor before you head off on holiday.
