How safe is Antalya?

Safety at night:Moderate

Antalya generally has a reputation for being safe and welcoming to tourists. However, like any other city, it's important to practice some caution especially during the night. Areas around popular tourist spots are well-lit and often patrolled by police. But it is advisable to avoid less crowded, poorly lit areas and always be aware of your surroundings. Remember, confidence and a little bit of local language knowledge can go a long way in ensuring safety.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation in Antalya is quite safe and efficient. The city's tram and bus systems are well-maintained and widely used both by locals and tourists. Though petty crimes like pickpocketing do occur occasionally, it isn't a common concern. However, it's always essential to be cautious with personal belongings and be aware of your surroundings. Also, avoid travelling late at night when there are fewer passengers.

Street harassment:Low

Antalya, which has a good blend of tourists and locals, is generally safe and welcoming towards women. Like any other city, street harassment does exist but it is seldom and typically non-threatening. Be aware that some local men may flirt or try to initiate conversation. Always use your judgment and feel free to ignore or decline any such advances decisively yet politely.

Petty crimes:Low

In Antalya, petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching do occur, especially in crowded places or on public transportation. However, the overall risk is relatively low. It would be advisable to remain alert and conscious of your belongings, particularly in busier areas, yet there is no need for undue concern.

Antalya’s nights were really extraordinary I want to do many things but because of my family I couldn’t do many things but It was fun and enjoyable. The only bad thing that I can say about Antalya is that place was very very hot.

Solo travel

There was so hot and I liked the sea. There are so many tourists around there and I love that . I visited some ancient sites and they were very popular and very nice. I think the most interesting thing about the place was how they were built there

It was a nice trip for me. I felt very safe and gained new experiences. I went rafting for the first time. It was a very nice place but it was very hot. The food was also very good. It is a very fun city at night.

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.

I have never witnessed a crime in Antalya before. There are safe and unsafe areas, of course, but I can say that it is safe in many areas that we call the center. There is torusim police some places.

About Me

Hey there! I’m Esin, 28, and I recently moved toAntalya from Istanbul after getting married. I work remotely as a technical assistant, helping engineering firms with international certifications. I love my job, but working from home means I don’t get to meet a lot of new people—so here I am! When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me exploring new places, sipping wine, or cuddling with my orange, disabled cat. I also enjoy deep conversations, good food, and trying to stay active (even though I’m definitely more of a foodie than a fitness enthusiast!). I joined this app to improve my English and connect with amazing women from different cultures. So if you’re in Antalya and up for a nice chat, let’s meet!
