Turkey on a Budget in 2025? What $100/Night Gets You in Antalya

Описание: If you’re wondering whether the Turkish Riviera is still a great value for money in 2025, this Antalya travel guide will give you the real answer.
In this episode, I take you along for a 4-day family trip to Konyaaltı Beach—one of the most scenic and local-friendly spots in Antalya.

We stayed at Sam Hotel ($50/night), a clean and budget-friendly stay just steps from the beach. I also share my pick for a mid-range alternative, Four Hills Hotel ($100/night), which was nearly finished with renovations during our visit—and would be my choice if I came back.

From exploring the two very different sides of Konyaaltı Beach to tasting some of the best local food in Antalya, you’ll discover:

Salas Balik – fresh, traditional Turkish seafood at great prices
ADA Restaurant – the best pide (Turkish pizza) in town
Lara Balik – an upscale seaside option with A/C, but not quite worth the higher prices
Coffee gems like Romm Coffee (amazing desserts), The Sudd (incredible beans + design), and Bexx Coffee & Chocolate

Along the way, I’ll give you the lay of the land—what areas near Antalya are more high-end vs. local-friendly, and the differences between the right and left ends of Konyaaltı Beach.

While Turkey’s prices have gone up compared to just two years ago, I found Antalya still offers fantastic value—especially compared to our upcoming trip to Bodrum (spoiler: not everything went as planned there).
