Which area should I stay in?

This programme assumes you are staying in the centre, Lara or on the Belek–Side stretch; from any of the three the day trips take the same time. Staying in Kemer, and especially Alanya, adds road time every day — Alanya is 100–130 minutes from the centre. Tell us where you are staying and we build the route around it.

It can be, but it needs a full day of its own; the round trip spends four hours on the road. Rather than squeezing it into five days, extending to six works better. Alanya's castle, the Damlataş Cave and the long beach deserve a day.

Which months is the sea warm?

May to October; July and August are the hottest, in the water and out of it. April and November are ideal for sightseeing but the sea can feel cool. In winter the sea is cold, though the city stays green and you can see snow in the Taurus mountains the same day.

Antalya and the Mediterranean in 5 Days

Kaleiçi, Side, the Düden Waterfall and a boat trip — the Mediterranean route that joins sea and history in one programme.

Day by day

1Day
Arrival and welcome
Met at Antalya airport with a name board and taken to your hotel. The drive is 15–30 minutes to the centre and Lara, 30–40 to Belek, 60–75 to Side. The first day is deliberately left open.
2Day
Kaleiçi and the city
Hadrian's Gate, narrow stone lanes, Ottoman houses and gulets moored in the old harbour. In the afternoon, the point where the Düden Waterfall meets the sea; in the evening, free time in the Kaleiçi bazaar.
3Day
Side and the ancient coast
The ancient theatre and the Temple of Apollo stand right at the water's edge; you do not need a separate museum to see the history. A stop around Manavgat on the way back, then free time on the beach.
4Day
Boat trip or a free day
In swimming season, a boat trip with swim stops in the bays; outside it, the day is left free or spent towards Kemer where the mountains meet the sea. The car and driver stay with you all day if you wish.
5Day
Shopping and departure
Half a day at the bazaar or a mall depending on your flight, then the transfer to the airport. Purchases travel in the car.

What the programme includes

Airport meet-and-greet and return transfer
Private air-conditioned vehicle and fuel
Arabic-speaking guide or driver
An itinerary built around prayer times

Common questions about this programme

The programme bends to you

These are a starting point. You can add a day, drop a stop or reorder the route — the tours are private, so you never have to fit a group's schedule.

How the price is set

Price on request

A package price depends on the number of travellers, the hotel class and the dates, so we do not publish a fixed figure. Send your dates and party size and we will put the total in writing the same day. Nothing starts until you approve it.

What sets the price

We do not print a fixed figure on the programme pages, and the reason is that the same programme does not cost two families the same. Four things set the price.

How many people
The cost of the vehicle and driver is per car, not per person; the vehicle side of a programme for two and one for six is almost the same. That is why the per-person figure drops noticeably for larger families.
The date
The summer months and the two Eid periods are the highest; November to March is the easiest. The gap is wider on the hotel side and narrower on the vehicle.
Hotel class and district
You choose the hotel part of the programme. The same programme can be built around three stars in the city centre or five in Belek.
Whether flights are included
Domestic and international tickets are not part of the programme; if you want, we buy them in your name, and if not, you buy them yourself.

Once you send us those four, we reply the same day with the total and a day-by-day draft. The figure we give does not change afterwards.

Who this programme suits

Five days in Antalya is enough for both the sea and the city. The programme assumes you are staying in the centre, Lara or on the Belek–Side stretch; from any of the three the daily outings take the same time.

It suits: people who want a beach holiday without being shut inside the hotel, anyone interested in ancient cities (Aspendos and Perge are under an hour from the centre), and families with small children — Lara, Belek and Side are sand, with a gradual entry into the water.

What to watch is where you stay. In Kemer, and especially Alanya, you set out on the road every day; Alanya is 100 to 130 minutes from the centre, four hours there and back. Tell us where you are staying and we build the route around it.

Season: May–June and September are the most balanced months. July and August are the hottest and busiest; the midday hours are demanding with small children.

The flight is not part of the programme; we buy it in your name if you want.
