The Short Answer
The price of a Coke in Antalya varies a lot depending on where you buy it. In a supermarket it is very cheap, in a local cafe modest, and in a tourist-strip restaurant, beach club, or hotel it can cost several times more. Because Turkish Lira prices change quickly, it is best to think in rough terms: cheapest from a shop, most expensive in tourist venues.
Where to Save
For the best value, buy drinks from a supermarket or local corner shop (market/bakkal) rather than beachfront bars. A bottle from a shop can cost a fraction of the same drink at a resort. If you are self-catering, stocking up on water and soft drinks from a supermarket noticeably cuts your daily spend. Tap-fresh Turkish tea (çay) is also charmingly cheap almost everywhere.
