Antalya’s main bus station is 8km north of town, although regular dolmuses and city buses run from here to a terminal at the top of Kazim ozalp Caddesi (still known by its old name of Sarampol), which runs for just under 1km down to the clock tower on the fringe of the old town. About 5km west of the centre is the ferry dock, connected to the centre by dolmus. The airport is 10km northeast; Havas buses into town depart from the domestic terminal, five minutes’ walk from the international terminal, while city-centre-bound dolmuses pass nearby. The main tourist office is a fifteen-minute walk west from the clock tower on Cumhuriyet Cad (daily 8am-6/7pm; tel 0242/241 1747). Most travellers stay in the atmospheric old town, where almost every other building is a pansiyon, although there’s also a nucleus of hotels between the bus station and the bazaar.
Many Kaleici pansiyons have their own restaurant. For elegant dining, Antique Pansiyon’sevening menu is particularly good; otherwise, the licensed Parlak, on Kazim Ozalp Cad, serves delicious grilled chicken, while Sim, Kaledibi Sok 7, offers reasonably priced home cooking. Cumhuriyet Caddesi is the location of a number of eating-places with terraces offering excellent views of the harbour; good for leisurely breakfasts. The covered pedestrian precinct, Eski Sebzeciler Ici Sokak, has a small number of restaurants serving the local speciality tandir kebap (mutton roasted in a clay pot). The Gaziantep eatery, at the edge of the bazaar through the pasaj at Ismet Pasa Cad 3, is excellent. Two other quality choices are Kebabistan on Recep Peker Cad, which offers a good take on standard pide fare, and Ol Gunegliler, just north of the clock tower, serving southeastern specialities. Nightlife is mostly located around the harbour. The popular Café Iskele has tables grouped around a fountain, while the nearby Cece often has live music. Club 29, an expensive disco, boasts a terrace with pool and a restaurant. A little inland in the Kale district, Ici Karatayhan Pansiyonfeatures the laidback Gizli Bahce bar. Further out, the Olympos disco, beside Falez Hotelnear the archeological museum, is a popular late-night dance venue. There’s an Internetcafé on Recep Peker Sok near Hadrian’s Gate.
