Is Antalya safe for women?

This is a quiet, natural, peaceful town. Events that make you feel unsafe are generally not noticed. It is a region where conscious local people and nature-loving tourists are predominant. Although it is necessary to be careful everywhere, we can say that Kemer is a safe place.

I have been living in Antalya for two months now. I haven’t felt unsafe at any moment, not even at night or in neighborhoods that might seem unsafe at first glance. I’ve never felt in danger while using public transportation. On the other hand, I believe the mindset of the average Turkish person doesn’t lean towards stealing, mugging, or kidnapping. I’ve felt very safe here. It’s important to highlight that Antalya has a large international community, so cultural or religious differences won’t make you feel at risk. In other cities in Turkey, particularly more conservative ones, I did feel observed and judged for the way I dressed. However, that hasn’t been the case here in Antalya.

You should come to Antalya in the summer. If you come in the summer, you will have a lot of fun. The city is more crowded in the summer. But still be careful. Don't trust the crowd. There is not much theft.

The city of Antalya is one of the touristic cities of Turkey. That is why you can see people of many nationalities. In general, it is a place where you can have a holiday and feel safe if you are in a central place. With the exception of resort towns, the security of decentralized places is less compared to central places.

In city center, you will feel safe because people are used to communicate with foreigners. Also, antalya is one of the most developed city of turkey. You can find taxis everywhere and everytime. Can find local pubs to have fun. Even you can swim anytime of a day does not matter day or night. I prefer sunrise for example. No one interrupts you.

Antalya is very safe. There are many beautiful and safe places to visit for tourists and travelers. Incidents such as purse snatching, human trafficking and theft are rare. Only the Nir neighborhood is a bit dangerous to enter at night, other than that, it is very safe at night.

Quite small touristic city. Long, nice beaches, you can swim from may to November. Some people from north swim winter time too. :) Lovely weather during springs :) Also summer time you can enjoy Alanya nights. You should give a chance. I’m sure you’ll like it :))

Solo travel

It was totally safe. I have rented an apartment with pool and breakfast. The sea in the center is quiet good and clean. The food was expensive so i cooked a lot at home. Hiking, rafting, sea tours, swimming was really joyful.

Couple travel

I felt safe in Antalya, especially at the hotel. As a blonde European woman, I sometimes got honked at and stared at by men, but it never led to any bad situations. Everyone was very kind and polite. I like the country because you can have a nice beach vacation for a low price. The people are open and friendly. The vendors can be very pushy and try to make you feel guilty, especially if they see you are unsure. But I think we should understand this, as the country is poorer.
