AntRay fare
card: expose the QR matrix barcode to the scanner to
pass through the turnstile. |
Antalya's major light rail line is the AntRay,
a streamlined 16-stop Metro-like operation
running from Fatih northwest
of the city center via the Otogar (bus
terminal) to Meydan due
east of the center (map).
Three-ride AntRay fare
cards (TL5)
bearing QR matrix barcodes are sold from
a booth at one end of each major station.
Expose the barcode to the scanner at
the turnstile,
and pass through to the
platform.
Riding AntRay you can
journey easily between the Otogar (bus
terminal) and the city center, including Kaleiçi.
Board an AntRay tram at the İsmetpaşa stop,
just north of the intersection of İsmetpaşa
Caddesi and Cumhuriyet Caddesi (map).
Nostaljik Tramvay
The original Nostaljik Tramvay starts
on the shore to the west of the center
at the Antalya
Museum near Konyaaltı
Plajı (Beach)
and Antalya Beach Park (the Rixos
Downtown Antalya Hotel and
other
large, modern luxury hotels are here
as well).
The tram runs eastward
along the main seaside boulevard to the city center
at Kalekapısı,
a convenient gateway to Kaleiçi (Old
Antalya) and the Tuvana Hotel.
It then continues east and south and
passes Hadrian's
Gate and Karaalioğlu
Park before passing near the deluxe Ramada
Plaza Antalya Hotel and
ending on the way to Lara
Plajı (Beach)
to the east.
There are only two tramcars. They run
along a single track, passing one another
at a short length of double track near Kalekapısı.
Both trams depart on
the hour and half-hour, 07:00 am to
21:00 (9:00 pm) from the termini (east
and west), and
reach
Kalekapısı between
10 and 15 minutes later (so if you
want to catch the tram at
Kalekapısı,
be there at 10 minutes past the hour
or 20 minutes before the hour). The
one-way fare is TL1.70.
