Start early at archaeological sites
Roman ruins are far cooler and less crowded in the morning—arrive at Perge or Aspendos within the first two hours of opening for the best light and quieter paths.
Wear sturdy footwear
Sites like Perge and Side have uneven stones and loose gravel—supportive walking shoes will prevent twisted ankles and keep you comfortable during longer walks.
Carry local currency
Small vendors, tip jars and some entrance booths still prefer Turkish lira—have some cash for quick purchases and gratuities.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Antalya’s Mediterranean sun can dehydrate quickly; refill taps and cafes are common, so keeping a bottle cuts plastic and keeps you moving.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive soles and grip are essential for cobblestones and ruins.
Sun protection (hat, SPF 30+)
Strong Mediterranean sun makes sunscreen and a wide-brim hat necessary for daytime touring.

Light rain shell or windbreaker
Shoulder seasons can bring wind and brief showers—pack a compact shell for tunektepe and coastal exposures.

Reusable water bottle
