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.
Posted: September 21, 2024I 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.
Posted: July 30, 2024It was my first time in Turkey, and I was looking for a quiet place during the low season, but with warm temperatures and the sea. I heard about Antalya because of a friend who also travelled on a low budget and I couldn't be more grateful and happy about this recommendation! I stayed in an Airbnb studio, really close to the center, 10 min walking from Mermerli beach, and I happily walked 30 minutes every day to Konyaaltı beach. I had the best time. I mostly ate at home but I could also go out to have dinner at a restaurant if I wanted because it was affordable. I paid 380 euros for one month, between food, a few tours and tickets I would say I spent + 700 EUR, I was travelling from Norway. I felt safe the whole trip but I was not partying, I was only out during the day until 9 or 10 PM at most. I would definitely recommend visiting Antalya in low season because it's less crowded, the weather is still warm and you will meet very nice people!
Posted: June 7, 2024Experienced: September, 2023I went to Antalya/ Manavgat for Camping. İt was an event at the camping place. Antalya is turistic city of Turkey especially in the summer season. The nature, beach, weather and foods everything is amazin. But I can say that it's not a cheap city because of interest of turists. Obviously they have a point :)

In Antalya I was with my husband, but I think it's a very safe city, because they're good guardians and people was very nice to me. Dogs are more scared me at all :) don't go out in a night alone, think it's not a good idea.

I hitched from Kaş to Antalya city center alone. I didn't even have to raise my thumb because when the drivers realized my backpack they just stopped to ask me if I was hitchhiking. I felt completely safe. The people in Antalya are very used to hitchhikers and Turkish people in general if they see a solo female traveler they want to help. Antalya can be considered as a safe city for travelers.
Posted: April 22, 2024Experienced: May, 2017Everything was fine. It was a safe and fun experience. There are many places to visit. People are friendly and trustworthy. The place we stayed was very welcoming. I was very pleased, I recommend it if anyone is thinking of going.
Posted: February 21, 2024We stayed in an airbnb in Muratpaşa and it was really nice. We could order really good food via app. People were friendly. There are many mosques to pray in. Also a lot of supermarkets and places to shop. The beaches are mostly run by hotels, so we didn't feel free to go to any beach. But we liked to go for a walk to the harbor.

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.

I am studying pyschology at Akdeniz Universty. I am a friendly, pozitive, responsible, respectful and harmonious person. I can be so energetic and social but sometimes I can be shy. I am trying to see beauty in everything I look (I read so many books about law of attraction like The Secret and I adapted it to my life after many years of effort) I am a licensed athlete. I am on the board of directors of a community at my University. I did Erasmus before (in high school) and went to Lisbon for a week. It was an amazing experience and after that, I promesed to myself that I will do it again. . And now, I am planning a trip to Vienna for three days on Feb 22nd. I am looking for someone that I can trust and who will be kind enough to host me in her home. I will be very grateful to that person. If you want to meet with me in Vienna (it is my first alone trip and I should add, I am so excited) or give me advice, please chat to me.
