Day Trips from Antalya: Alanya, Side, Kemer, Kaş
Beyond the resorts, these destinations are the most booked day trips from Antalya.
The classic choices
- Side: a coastal town with a Roman theatre and ruins in its old town; about 70 km from the airport.
- Alanya: a separate resort town far to the east, about 130 km and 90–120 minutes from the airport, so a long day.
- Kemer: pine forest, beaches, nearby Phaselis and the Olympos cable car to Tahtalı; about 45 km from the airport.
- Kaş and Kekova: a boat cruise from Kaş to the Kekova area is a popular longer excursion.
- Pamukkale: about 3 hours each way; a very long but popular day.
How to choose
- Short on time: Side and Kemer are the easiest.
- Love boats and quiet bays: a Kaş and Kekova cruise.
- Prefer fewer travel hours: stay in a resort close to the sights you want.
- Compare organised tours, a rental car and private driver; check the operator licence.
