It skips Olympos, Pamukkale and Kekova entirely; those need more time and show up in the 4-day , 5-day , 6-day and 7-day versions of this same route. For old-town and beach specifics inside Antalya itself, see the Antalya city guide . https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-2-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-2-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Two days in Antalya: the budget version Two days covers one real look at Kaleici’s old town and one full day at a free public beach. It is not enough to add the Duden Waterfalls or any day trip without rushing, and neither day needs a rental car. This plan stays inside the city: Kaleici on day one, Konyaalti beach on day two, with real Turkish lira costs throughout. Want more time? https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-3-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-3-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Three days in Antalya: the budget version Three days is the sweet spot for Antalya’s city side: a full day in Kaleici’s old town, a full day at a free public beach, and a full day at the Duden Waterfalls, all without a rental car. It stretches the 2-day plan by one waterfall day rather than rushing all three into two. Want more? The 6-day and 7-day plans add Lara beach, a hammam, and a harbor cruise. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-4-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-4-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Four days: ruins, a mountaintop, a beach, and a real rest day Four days extends the same 2-day spine with two more stops: Perge, Aspendos and Side on day one, Termessos and a beach afternoon on day two, then Olympos and the Chimaera flames on day three, and a genuine no-tour recovery day on day four. It nests into the 5 , 6 and 7-day versions if you add Pamukkale or Kekova later. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-5-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-5-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Five days: the ruins route plus one grinding, worthwhile day Five days keeps the 4-day spine, Perge/Aspendos/Side, Termessos, Olympos and a rest day, and spends the extra day on Pamukkale, a genuine 12-13 hour round trip from Antalya. It’s the shortest itinerary in this family that fits Pamukkale in at all; the 6-day and 7-day versions add Kekova on top of this same route. Book these before you go Perge, Aspendos and Side combo day tour : the day 1 anchor. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-6-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-6-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Six days: ruins, Pamukkale, and the Kekova sunken city Six days keeps the 5-day spine, Perge/Aspendos/Side, Termessos, Olympos, a rest day and Pamukkale, and adds a second long-haul day: the Kekova sunken city and Demre/Myra by boat. That’s two 12-plus hour tour days back to back, so the recovery day sits deliberately before them, not after. The 7-day version adds one more day to actually recover from both. Book these before you go Perge, Aspendos and Side combo day tour : the day 1 anchor. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-6-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-6-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Six days in Antalya: the budget version Six days is enough to slow down inside the city itself: both beaches, both waterfalls, a bazaar and hammam day, and a harbor sunset cruise, no rental car anywhere on the schedule. It extends the 3-day plan with three more days rather than reinventing the first three. Prefer a full week? The 7-day plan adds one slow day at the end. If ancient ruins or the Turquoise Coast are the actual goal, that is a separate trip covered in the Antalya-Turkey itineraries , since none of the ruins below are day trips from a city-only base. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-7-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-7-days-on-a-budget-plus-day-trips/?v=1 Seven days: the full Turquoise Coast base loop, with a real landing pad Seven days keeps the 6-day route intact, Perge/Aspendos/Side, Termessos, Olympos, a rest day, Pamukkale and Kekova, and adds a final recovery day rather than a rushed departure straight off two 12-hour tour days. This is the longest itinerary in the family; if a week feels like too much, the 4 and 5-day versions cut Kekova and Pamukkale respectively. https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-7-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/day-plans/antalya-in-7-days-on-a-budget-with-daily-costs/?v=1 Seven days in Antalya: the budget version Seven days is a full week inside the city and its beaches: both beaches, both waterfalls, a bazaar and hammam day, a harbor sunset cruise, and one slow day before you fly out, no rental car anywhere on the schedule. It extends the 6-day plan by a single rest day rather than adding a rushed extra activity. If ancient ruins, Side, Aspendos, or Pamukkale are the real goal, treat that as a separate trip in the Antalya-Turkey itineraries ; none of it is a comfortable day trip from a city-only base. https://tr4vel.org/getaround/antalya-on-a-budget-7-cheap-and-free-things-to-do/?v=1 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:30:00 +0000 https://tr4vel.org/getaround/antalya-on-a-budget-7-cheap-and-free-things-to-do/?v=1 Antalya is the base camp, not the beach Antalya’s own old town and coastline earn a couple of days on their own (the Antalya city guide covers that side), but the real budget value of basing here is everything within reach: Perge, Aspendos, Termessos and Side cluster east of the city for well under 20 euros a site, Olympos and the Chimaera flames sit south past Kemer, and Pamukkale and the Kekova sunken city are both doable in one very long day if a second hotel night isn’t in the budget.
