Antalya Otogar (Antalya City Bus Terminal) is the primary transport hub for the Mediterranean coast. Whether you're heading to the airport, a nearby resort like Alanya, or a long-haul trip to Istanbul, here is everything you need to know. 1. Getting to and from the Otogar The terminal is located in the Kepez district, about 4 km north of the city center. Tram (AntRay): This is the most efficient method. The T1A/T1B line connects the Otogar directly to the Antalya Airport (approx. 50–60 minutes) and the Old Town/City Center (İsmetpaşa station, approx. 15–20 minutes). Public Bus: * Line 600: Runs 24/7 between the Airport and the Otogar every 30–60 minutes. Local routes: Many city buses (like VF02 or TK36) pass through or terminate here. Taxi: Taxis are available 24/7. A trip to the city center typically takes 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. 2. Terminal Layout & Services The Otogar is split into two distinct sections. Pro-tip: Make sure you know which one you need before you get dropped off! On-site Facilities: Left Luggage (Emanet): Secure storage available 24/7. Amenities: Free Wi-Fi (usually provided by specific bus companies), ATMs, a PTT (post office), currency exchange, and various small cafes/shops. Car Rental: Several agencies operate within the terminal (e.g., EGE Car Rental). 3. Popular Bus Companies Tickets can be bought at the station, but for peak seasons or weekend travel, booking online via platforms like Obilet or Bilet.com is recommended. Premium/National: Kamil Koç (FlixBus partner), Pamukkale, and Metro Turizm. Regional Specialists: Güney Akdeniz, Antalya Toros, and Alanyalılar. Quick Tips for Travelers Payment: For trams and city buses, you’ll need an AntalyaKart. You can buy one at the tram station kiosks at the Otogar or use a contactless credit/debit card. Arrival Time: For intercity trips, try to arrive 30 minutes early. Many companies provide free "shuttle" (servis) vans to different parts of the city if you arrive from another province—ask your driver or ticket agent upon arrival.
