Antalya Itinerary 5 Days 2027 for Families, with Prices

This 5-day Antalya itinerary gives one day to the old town and waterfalls, one to the Roman cities, one to the sea by boat and one to rest. The three tours cost $90, $90 and $50 per person (approx. QAR 837 in all) within our Antalya tours, with hotel pick-up. Send your dates on WhatsApp and we confirm the days in writing.

We wrote this page for Qatari and Gulf families who ask about Antalya before booking: how many days are enough, where to stay, and whether there is a flight from Doha. Our dollar prices are for 2027, and the riyal figures use the official peg ($1 = QAR 3.64, approx.). For a shorter plan in English, read our 3-day Antalya itinerary.

Antalya Itinerary 5 Days, Day by Day

Antalya city tour with waterfalls and boat trip, from $90

The idea is that each day carries one big sight only, so the family faces a long drive only on the boat day, about 2 to 2.5 hours each way. Most tours start with hotel pick-up in the morning, and with our Antalya tours the order of the days can be swapped to suit your flight.

Day 1: arrival. You land at Antalya Airport, about 12 km east of the city centre; Lara is 15 to 20 minutes away and Belek about 35 minutes. Book a private car from the airport if you arrive at night with children.

Day 2: old town and waterfalls. The day starts at the lower and upper Düden waterfalls, then lunch, then a walk through Kaleiçi from Hadrian's Gate to the Clock Tower and the old harbour, and it ends with a coastal boat ride of about an hour. This is our Antalya city tour with waterfalls and boat trip, from $90 per person (approx. QAR 328) with lunch and a guide.

Day 3: Perge, Aspendos and Side. The colonnaded street at Perge, then the theatre at Aspendos, one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, then Side and the Temple of Apollo by the sea, ending at the Manavgat waterfall. The Perge, Aspendos and Side tour lasts about 8 hours and is from $90 per person with lunch, but site entry fees are not included: under the 2027 tariff reported by Turizm Güncel on 9 September 2026, a foreign visitor pays €12 at Perge and €16 at Aspendos (about $31 for the two sites), with Side extra.

Day 4: the sea. The calmest choice for a family is the Suluada island boat trip from $50 per person, with several swimming stops and lunch on board; the road to Adrasan harbour takes about 2 to 2.5 hours each way. The alternative is the Porto Ceneviz boat trip from $60 to quiet bays. The Kemer pirate boat ($75) adds music and a foam party, and it does not suit every conservative family.

Day 5: an easy day, then departure. Leave this day to the family: the Antalya Aquarium in Konyaaltı for the children, or The Land of Legends in Belek for older children who like rides. We do not sell their tickets; check prices on their official sites. Then leave by private car to suit your flight.

Antalya for a Week: Two Extra Days

Pamukkale day trip from Antalya with tickets and lunch, from $90

The Antalya itinerary for a week keeps days 1 to 4 and adds two long trips: a day for Pamukkale (day 5) and a day for Demre, Myra and Kekova (day 6), and day 7 becomes the rest and departure day. Pamukkale is a long road, about 2.5 to 3 hours each way, but our Pamukkale day trip from Antalya is from $90 per person and includes the Pamukkale and Hierapolis tickets and lunch; the Cleopatra's Antique Pool fee is extra. For a full comparison read Pamukkale from Antalya, Side or Alanya.

Kekova and Myra boat trip from Antalya, from $120

Day 6: Demre, Myra and Kekova. You visit the Church of St Nicholas and the Lycian rock tombs of Myra, then take a boat over the sunken city at Kekova. The Demre, Myra and Kekova trip is from $120 per person and includes the Myra and church tickets and lunch; it lasts 8 hours. For privacy there is the private tour at $140.

Antalya for Families: Where to Stay in Lara, Konyaaltı, Belek, Kemer or Side

Antalya tours with hotel pick-up, from $50

These are the family areas as we know them from daily work, without naming hotels we have not checked:

• Lara: The resort strip east of the city, 15 to 20 minutes from the airport, with a sandy beach. Best for a family that wants one all-inclusive resort.
• Belek: Large resorts and golf courses about 35 minutes from the airport. Quiet, but every tour starts with a longer drive.
• Konyaaltı: A long pebble beach inside the city and cheaper city hotels, close to the Kemer road.
• Kemer: About an hour from the airport between the mountains and the sea, and the departure point for the boats along the west coast.
• Side: Just over an hour from the airport, beside the ruins and the beach.
• Kaleiçi: The old town, with small hotels, small rooms and no big pools, so it is better for couples than for families.

Privacy for women: Some resorts advertise women-only pools or swimming hours, but we do not name a hotel we have not verified ourselves. Ask the hotel in writing about its pool policy, alcohol and connecting rooms before you pay. At sea, a private yacht for two hours at $1,499 for the whole yacht is an option with no other passengers on board, and we do not promise a particular crew make-up.

Flights to Antalya from Istanbul and from Qatar

From Istanbul: The domestic flight between Istanbul and Antalya takes 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 35 minutes from Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), and Turkish Airlines, AJet and Pegasus operate it according to booking sites, so ask the airline for the current timetable. The distance is about 700 km by road (8 to 9 hours) and there is no direct train. Read our comparison Istanbul to Antalya by plane or bus.

From Doha: Qatar Airways listed a seasonal direct flight between Doha and Antalya in summer 2026, QR 315 with a flying time of about 3 hours 50 minutes according to schedule listings from 15 June to 7 September. We could not verify the 2027 timetable, so check current schedules on the airline site before you book. If there is no direct flight, fly Doha to Istanbul and on to Antalya, with two nights in Istanbul in an Istanbul and Antalya holiday.

Visa: The holder of an ordinary Qatari passport is exempt from a visa for up to 90 days within 180 days according to the Turkish foreign ministry website, which we checked in November 2026. For residents of Qatar with other passports, nationality decides, so check evisa.gov.tr or ask the Turkish embassy in Doha before you book.

Best Time to Visit Antalya

Antalya tours, from $50

The best time to visit Antalya is late April to early June and mid-September to October, when it is warm without the heat of July. According to averages from the Turkish State Meteorological Service (MGM), the average high in July and August is about 34 degrees, while Doha usually passes 40 degrees in July, so escaping the heat to Antalya in summer is real, but the humidity on the coast makes it feel heavier.

The archaeological sites in Antalya run on winter hours from 1 November 2026 to 1 May 2027, that is 08:00 to 17:00, according to the schedule reported by Antalya Kent Haber on 5 October, and the main Antalya Museum stays closed. So put the ruins in the morning in winter, and read Antalya in winter: which hotels are open.

Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February, and the dates of Ramadan and the two Eids depend on moon sighting. Domestic flights and hotels fill up at Eid, so book early. Check the Qatari education ministry calendar for your school's holidays.

Tips for Gulf Families in Antalya

• Private car: Book a private transfer from Antalya Airport with one car for the family, as distances to the resorts vary a lot.
• Halal food: Meat in Turkey is generally halal, and we say it plainly without overclaiming. Ask the restaurant or hotel about alcoholic drinks if that matters to you.
• Prayer: Tell your guide the prayer times on the morning of each tour, and we arrange stops around the day's route where possible.
• Guide: We confirm a licensed Arabic-speaking guide for your date in writing before payment, subject to availability. Drivers speak Turkish and basic English, and we do not promise an Arabic-speaking driver.
