Road Trips
One-way rental routes starting from Antalya
Plan your ultimate road trip with these popular one-way routes departing from Antalya
Popular Driving Routes & Road Trips From Antalya
Top Self-Drive Routes:
Antalya → Kemer → Olympos → Çıralı (Turquoise Coast Loop)
A classic Mediterranean coast drive with mountain-meets-sea views, beach towns, and easy access to ruins and nature. The D400 is generally straightforward, but expect slower traffic near resort areas and more winding stretches as you approach Olympos/Çıralı.
Antalya → Aspendos → Side → Manavgat Waterfall
Perfect for combining major classical sights with an easy beach-town stroll. Start with the remarkably preserved Roman theater at Aspendos, continue to Side’s waterfront ruins, and finish with a quick nature stop at Manavgat Waterfall before returning.
Antalya → Saklıkent (Ski Center) → Termessos (Mountaintop Ruins)
A cooler, higher-altitude escape from the coast with pine forests, big viewpoints, and dramatic ancient ruins. Roads can be narrow and curvy; in winter, bring chains if you plan to continue to Saklıkent when conditions require them.
Popular Day Trips By Rental Car:
Perge + Antalya Museum (Easy Culture Day)
A low-stress day focused on Antalya’s top archaeology: explore Perge’s stadium, colonnaded streets, and baths, then pair it with the Antalya Museum’s standout Roman collections.
Düden Waterfalls + Lara Coast Drive
A short, flexible outing ideal for arrival or departure day: see Düden’s cascades and finish with a coastal drive along Lara for sea views and cafés.
Köprülü Canyon (Rafting Base Day Trip)
Drive into the Taurus Mountains for canyon scenery and a popular rafting corridor. Even without rafting, the river viewpoints and bridges make for a scenic nature day.
Kaş (Seaside Town Day Trip)
A full-day coastal adventure on the D400 with panoramic bays and a lively harbor town at the end. Great for a relaxed dinner by the marina before driving back.
Car Rental & Driving Tips For Antalya
Bring the right documents: Carry your passport (or national ID where applicable), a valid driver’s license, and your rental voucher. Some companies may request an International Driving Permit depending on license origin and language.
Use a credit card in the main driver’s name: Most rentals require a credit card deposit. Make sure the card has enough available limit for the hold and matches the primary driver’s details.
Understand insurance and excess: Check what CDW/theft protection includes, your deductible (excess), and whether tires, glass, and underbody are covered. If you buy extra coverage, confirm it’s reflected on the contract.
Plan for the D400 and mountain roads: Coastal routes can be busy near resorts, while mountain legs (e.g., Termessos/Saklıkent) are winding. Build buffer time and avoid rushing after dark on unfamiliar roads.
Fuel strategy: don’t return on empty: Gas stations are common around Antalya and along major highways, but can be spaced out in mountain areas. Refill before heading into national parks and keep the tank above half for longer drives.
Inspect the car and document everything: Before leaving the lot, take timestamped photos/video of all sides, wheels, windshield, and interior. Ensure existing damage is written on the check-out sheet.
Parking: expect paid lots in busy areas: In Kaleiçi and popular beaches, use official lots/garages and keep small cash or a card ready. Avoid blocking narrow streets where towing is more likely.
Use offline maps and Turkish place names: Download offline maps for coastal stretches and enter destinations using Turkish spellings (e.g., ‘Çıralı’, ‘Manavgat’, ‘Termessos’) to reduce navigation errors.
