Antalya · Nightlife

Bars occupy Ottoman courtyard houses on and around Hesapçı and Uzun Çarşı streets inside the walled old town, most running to about 02:00 and busiest in summer. The tram stops at Kale Kapısı right outside, which makes it the one part of Antalya you can drink in without a taxi home.

The horseshoe harbour below the Kaleiçi cliffs, reached by the lift from Kale Kapısı or the ramp down through Karaalioğlu Park. Restaurants and bars on the quay run late through the summer and most of them shut over winter.

The stretch of beach clubs, cafes and bars along the pebble beach west of the centre, open into the night from roughly June to September. The AntRay tram runs out along Akdeniz Bulvarı, and taxis back are cheap and plentiful.

Antalya's biggest late clubs sit east of the centre around Lara and are mostly attached to five-star hotels, opening around midnight and running until dawn in season. Expect a cover charge, a dress code and a taxi each way; nothing here is walkable.

Antalya is a summer resort city, and from November to March a large share of the beach bars and hotel clubs simply close. The night contracts to the year-round bars inside Kaleiçi, so out of season book a hotel in or near the old town rather than on the beach roads.
