An Antalya Trip Plan Without a Car
Kaleiçi, the museum and Konyaaltı sit on tram and walking lines. Perge and Side do not squeeze into the same car-free plan; they need a day bus. A three-day car-free holiday finishes if you stay loyal to the centre — it finishes on the road if you add every ruin.
Antalya first suggests a car and a waterfall tour. The city centre does not require that. A car-free trip plan sits on Kaleiçi streets, Antalya Museum and the Konyaaltı tram. Düden and Perge are real stops; neither is a walk from the centre. Put all of them in the same three days and every afternoon ends at a bus stop.

Add to my calendarDay 1 — Kaleiçi and the harbour
Hadrian’s Gate to the yacht harbour is a half-day, not a “quick stop”. Keep lunch (piyaz or shish kofte) inside the old town so you still have legs for the museum later. Stay at the harbour in the evening; leave Konyaaltı for tomorrow. ITakvimim draws this day at walking pace; there is no car pin.
Day 2 — Museum and Konyaaltı
The museum is easier in the cool morning. Afternoon to Konyaaltı by tram or a short bus. The sea is free; a lounger is its own line. If you want the cable car, make it the day’s only paid “up” stop; do not put Perge on the same hour.
Day 3 — Stay loyal to the centre or take one outer stop
Day three is either a second shore / Kepez walk, or one outer stop (Perge or another nearby ruin). Not both. An outer stop needs a bus clock; finish the return before dinner. Side is another day and another station.
Car-free does not mean “never board a bus”. It means the spine of the day is walking. Open a car-hire line and the pace changes; that is a different piece. The card below is three days locked to the centre. If you add Perge, delete a shore block.

Frequently asked
Perge without a car?
Yes with a day bus or a tour; it is not a walk from the centre day. Keep Perge as its own half-day so the centre route stays intact.
Do I need a car from the airport?
Airport bus is enough. A taxi is comfort, not part of the car-free plan. Put the arrival pin on the stay and walk Kaleiçi the first evening.
