About Aksu

Aksu is the rural district where Antalya Airport itself sits — best known for the Roman city of Perge, citrus groves and short-stay airport hotels. Only 5 km from AYT terminal.

Mostly a transit district — connection-passengers, business travellers and Perge day-trippers. Not a holiday destination in itself, but the gateway every Antalya guest passes through.

Best season

Year-round transit. Best for Perge half-day: October-November or March-April when ground temperature is below 25 °C.

Hidden gem · Perge stadium at sunrise

Open at 08:30 — be the first in. The stadium's south stand glows orange for about 20 minutes, with the Taurus snow caps visible over the rim.

What Aksu is famous for

Six reasons people choose Aksu

The standout features that set Aksu apart from every other Antalya region.

✈

Antalya Airport sits here

AYT — the main international airport of the Turkish Mediterranean — is in Aksu. Most arriving traffic passes through within 10 minutes.

🏛

Perge ancient city

A Greco-Roman city of stadium, agora and colonnaded street — 8 km from the terminal, the most overlooked half-day archaeological site in Antalya.

🍊

Citrus capital

Aksu's flat alluvial plain feeds Turkey's biggest citrus production — orange, mandarin and grapefruit orchards stretch from the airport ring road.

⏱

Layover hotel cluster

Several no-frills airport park hotels for 4-12 hour layovers — Aksu Airport Park Hotel and Park Airport Hotel are the standard picks.

What to do

Things to do in Aksu

A short-list our drivers and dispatchers recommend after dropping guests at their hotel.

🏛

Visit Perge ancient city

Stadium, gymnasium, colonnaded street and the Roman bath complex — easy 2-hour walking circuit, €5 entry.

🛬

Plane-spot from Aksu Park

A small public park on the airport approach line — Antalya's biggest aviation enthusiasts' meet-up spot.

🍊

Citrus farm visit

Several Aksu farms welcome visitors November-March for the picking season — €5 includes a 5 kg bag of fresh oranges.

⏰

4-hour layover lounge

Drop your luggage at Aksu Airport Park Hotel for €15 — shower, day-bed, breakfast and shuttle back to the terminal.

🚖

Quick city-centre dash

Aksu is 5 km from the airport but 18 km from central Antalya — best for "do I have time for a Kaleiçi lunch?" calculations.

🌳

Mandalina restaurant under the trees

Worth seeing

Must-see sights near Aksu

All reachable on a half-day or full-day private Mercedes tour.

🏛

Perge stadium

The best-preserved Roman stadium on the Turkish coast — 15,000-seat horseshoe with intact bench tiers.

⛲

Perge nymphaeum

The water-fountain monument at the head of the colonnaded street — once topped by a Hadrian statue, now in the Antalya museum.

🛕

Hellenistic gate

The twin-tower Hellenistic city gate — older than the Roman walls and the most photographed Perge feature.

✈

AYT control tower

The orange-and-white 1990s control tower is visible from every Aksu hotel terrace — small geek thrill for aviation fans.

🛂

Best for short layovers

Anything over 4 hours — Aksu hotel + Perge visit is a perfect filler. We book the layover round-trip for €35.

☀

No swimming in Aksu

The district is inland — no beach access. For a quick swim during a layover use Lara Beach (15 km) or Konyaaltı (22 km).

🚐

Combine with Side

Heading east? Stop at Perge between AYT and Side — adds 90 min, costs nothing extra on our transfer.

🍴

Eat where the pilots eat

Mandalina, in the orange grove behind the south runway, is the airport-staff favourite — fresh fish, mezze and home-made baklava.
