Travel tips

• April to June and September to October are the comfortable windows — warm sea, walkable old town. July and August run hot; winter is mild but too cool for swimming.
• Carry local currency for small eateries and street food; cards are widely accepted in cities.
• Book popular restaurants in advance during peak season.
• Use public transit where possible — most stops in Antalya are tourist-friendly.
