1. Antray tram

A tram line linking the museum, the old town and the beaches.

2. Dolmuş

Shared minibuses on fixed routes, cheap and frequent along the coast.

3. BiTaksi

Hails licensed metered taxis, which removes the fare argument entirely.

Watch outMeters declined for airport and resort runs, or the night tariff run during the day.

4. Rented car

The coastal road east and west is the reason to have one.

5. Boat trips from the marina

Day boats along the coast to caves and swimming stops.

Watch outPrices excluding lunch, drinks and harbour fees, collected in cash once offshore.

Booking apps in Turkey

Agreeing the fare in an app before you travel removes the argument at the end of the journey, which is where most transport scams happen. Links go to each app's official page — lookalike apps are themselves a scam.

BiTaksi

Hails licensed metered taxis, the standard Turkish taxi app.

Coverage: Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya.
Why it helps: The meter is recorded in the app, defusing the higher night-tariff and 'broken meter' routines.

Uber

In Turkey this dispatches licensed taxis rather than private cars.

Coverage: Istanbul mainly.
Why it helps: Fare is agreed in the app before the trip, and the route is recorded — which removes the refused meter, the tampered meter and the fixed 'foreigner price' in one move.

Istanbulkart

Stored-value card for metro, tram, bus, funicular and the public ferries.

Coverage: Istanbul.
Why it helps: The public ferry on this card costs a fraction of a tourist cruise on nearly the same route.
