Jeep Safari from Konyaaltı: Do the Jeeps Come Into the City?

Yes, they do: Konyaaltı, the city centre and the small hotels of the Kaleiçi old town are all scheduled pickup areas of the Antalya jeep safari, and you are collected at your hotel's main entrance gate like any resort guest. From there it is a shared open-top 4x4 day of approximately 7 hours in the Taurus foothills, with dusty tracks, river stops, a mountain village and a riverside lunch, at €35 per adult. You reserve without a card and pay in euros on the day of the tour.

Konyaaltı, the centre and the old town on the pickup list

The Antalya departure has four scheduled sub-areas: Konyaaltı Mevkii and Antalya Şehir Merkezi on the west side of the city, Lara Mevkii and Kundu Mevkii on the east side. None of them is on request, so a hotel on Konyaaltı beach, a business hotel in the centre and a converted house inside the Kaleiçi walls all sit inside the scheduled belt. You give the hotel name when you book, and the meeting point is the main entrance of your hotel.

The booking directory lists 30 hotels under Konyaaltı Mevkii and 43 under Antalya Şehir Merkezi, a total of 73 on this side of the city. Hotels inside the belt, for example: Crowne Plaza Antalya, Rixos Downtown Antalya, Porto Bello Hotel Resort & Spa, Hotel SU & Aqualand, Sealife Family Resort Hotel and Megasaray Westbeach Antalya on the Konyaaltı side; Akra Hotel, The Marmara Antalya, DoubleTree by Hilton Antalya City Centre and Tuvana Hotel in the centre. They show where the belt reaches, not a promise tied to a name, and the exact time is confirmed after booking at the hotel's main entrance.

A hotel on this side of the city that is not in the directory is still inside the belt; type its name as it appears on your booking. For a small hotel in the lanes of Kaleiçi, add that it is inside the old town when you book, and send the address on WhatsApp; the meeting point stays the main entrance of your hotel, and the time follows after booking. If your hotel name leaves you unsure which belt you are in, the coast-wide pickup reference lists every area.

One departure for the whole city

Konyaaltı and Lara are two ends of one convoy. The Antalya departure is assembled gate by gate across the city before it turns inland, which is why the pickup time differs from hotel to hotel and is confirmed after booking rather than printed here. The city belt page for Lara and Kundu describes the same departure from the east side; this page adds the west side and the old town.

If you are comparing regions rather than sides of the city, the decision page explains which departure serves your hotel by where you stay, from Alanya to Kemer.

The Antalya day from the west of the city

From the west of the city the convoy has the whole belt behind it before it turns inland, so a Konyaaltı guest sees the city pass by first. Then the coast is left behind: pine forest on the lower slopes, citrus orchards, streams beside the road, and the moment the convoy leaves the tarmac for dusty mountain tracks and shallow river crossings. One professional driver per jeep; guests as passengers.

What a Konyaaltı guest actually gets is a list of stops rather than a distance: high ground looking out over green valleys, a river where the jeeps halt long enough for the summer water fight, a mountain village in which traditional crafts have not died out, and a table beside running water at lunch. The descent afterwards ends at your own entrance, roughly seven hours after it began. Places are left unnamed on purpose — our record for this route carries no village and no river name, and we do not fill that gap with somebody else's.

Included, and paid on site

The fare is a single package. Adults pay the figure in the short answer; children aged 4-12 pay the rate the form shows; infants aged 0-3 travel free. Five regions, five departures, one province: the province-wide overview lists them all.

  • Included: pickup and drop-off at Konyaaltı, city-centre, Kaleiçi, Lara and Kundu hotels
  • Included: the full day in the mountains with a professional driver
  • Included: lunch at the riverside restaurant
  • Included: guiding during the day
  • Not included: drinks at lunch and at the stops
  • Not included: photos and videos taken by the tour team
  • Not included: personal expenses
  • Not included: optional stops that charge an entrance fee, paid on site

Who the day suits

Old-town guests are often couples or small groups travelling without a car, and the day asks for none: the jeep collects at the hotel and returns there. Children aged 4-12 come at the child rate with an adult, infants aged 0-3 free, and adults are anyone from 13.

Off-road means rough: pregnant guests and anyone with back or neck problems should skip the day and tell us before boarding. Summer is open jeeps and wet clothes, winter is covered jeeps and dry ones. Wear closed shoes and swimwear underneath; the rest fits in one bag.

  • Towel and a change of clothes
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • A waterproof pouch for your phone

Reserving from Konyaaltı or the old town

There is no card step when you reserve the Antalya departure from Konyaaltı: a date, the number of adults and children, the hotel name, and the reservation stands. Payment is in euros on the day of the tour, and a cancellation up to 24 hours before departure costs nothing.

The day is guided in Turkish, Russian, German and English. Two things are worth a message before you book: a hotel inside the Kaleiçi lanes, so we have its address, and a booking for the coming days. WhatsApp: +90 536 603 75 84.

West of Konyaaltı, and east to Kundu

West of Konyaaltı the coast road continues towards Beldibi, Göynük, Çamyuva and Kemer. Hotels there belong to the Kemer departure, a different convoy with its own climb through the pines; the Antalya departure does not continue past Konyaaltı.

East of the centre the same Antalya convoy runs on through Lara to Kundu, where the city belt ends and the Belek belt begins. The Kundu page covers that end of the belt and the boundary with Belek.

Questions

Questions about this tour

Does the jeep safari collect from hotels in Kaleiçi old town?
Yes. Kaleiçi is part of Antalya city centre, one of the four scheduled pickup areas of the Antalya departure. Write the hotel name and note that it is inside the old town; the meeting point is your hotel's main entrance and the time comes with the confirmation.
Is my Konyaaltı beach hotel inside the pickup belt?
Yes. Konyaaltı Mevkii is one of the four scheduled sub-areas, so a beach hotel there needs nothing beyond the booking itself. Write the hotel name in the form and wait at the main entrance at the time you are given.
Which departure leaves from Konyaaltı, and on which days?
The Antalya departure — one convoy for the whole city, east side and west side together. In season it goes out daily, and the date is the only thing you fix in the form.
Can children come from a city-centre hotel?
Yes. A city-centre hotel is no obstacle: children from 4 to 12 pay the rate the form shows and must be accompanied by an adult, and under-4s are carried free. The jeeps are open, so keep hold of a small child where the track turns rough.
My hotel is in Beldibi, west of Konyaaltı. Is that the same tour?
No. Beldibi belongs to the Kemer belt, which has a convoy of its own climbing through the pines on a separate day. Book the Kemer departure and give the Beldibi hotel name there; the Antalya departure stops at Konyaaltı.
Do I pay when I reserve?
No. There is no card field on the form and nothing is taken in advance. Cancelling more than 24 hours ahead of departure costs nothing at all, and the euros are handed over on the day of the tour.
Do guests drive the jeeps?
No. Guests are passengers on this day. Every jeep that leaves the city belt has a professional driver at the wheel, from the first gate to the last.
