Our arrival score
Excellent onward transport and strong late-arrival facilities make Antalya Airport a practical gateway to the region. Its size and the separation between Terminal 2 and the Terminal 1 / Domestic Terminal area make it less intuitive than Turkey's smaller resort airports.
Scored for arriving travellers across onward transport, late-arrival convenience, connectivity, useful facilities and first-time ease.

Arrange it before entering Turkey
International travel eSIM stores can be inaccessible from within Turkey, so buy and install your eSIM before you travel.
This affects ordering a new travel eSIM from inside Turkey. An eSIM you've already arranged can still be activated and used after you arrive.
Your eSim starts when you first use it in Turkey, not when you buy it.
