🔵 THE SHORT ANSWER
Taxis in Antalya are relatively affordable by Western European standards, but they are far pricier than the tram and buses. Short city rides are cheap, while airport and long resort trips add up. The key is making sure the driver uses the meter (taksimetre) or agreeing a fair price before you set off, as overcharging tourists does happen.

Check Price & Availability ›🔵 TIPS TO AVOID OVERPAYING
Always insist on the meter, or agree a price in advance for longer trips. Have a rough idea of the distance and normal fare beforehand. Airport taxis are pricier, so a pre-booked transfer often works out cheaper and stress-free with a fixed price. For short hops, the meter is usually fair. Keep small cash, and be wary if a driver refuses the meter, just choose another taxi.
