Things to do in Antalya during COP31

Plan your free time at COP31

The middle weekend: 14–15 November

The only full free window of the conference. Popular full-day trips from Antalya include the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, the ancient cities of Perge, Aspendos and Side, and the Tahtalı cable car above Kemer.

Evenings after sessions

Head to Kaleiçi, Antalya's Ottoman-era old town, for dinner in the marina, a food tour or a traditional hamam. Sunset boat trips run from the old harbour through November.

Airport & city transfers

Pre-book a private transfer between Antalya Airport (AYT), the Expo Center and your hotel to skip the taxi queue — fixed prices, meet-and-greet and 24/7 availability.

Practical information for COP31 delegates

Getting around Antalya

The Expo Center sits close to the airport on the eastern side of the city. Taxis and ride apps are plentiful, the AntRay tram links the airport area with the city centre, and pre-booked transfers are the most reliable option during peak conference hours.

Weather in November

Antalya in mid-November is mild and mostly sunny: around 15–21°C in the daytime and cooler evenings. Pack a light jacket and expect the occasional rain shower.

Currency & payments

The local currency is the Turkish lira (TRY). Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere; keep a little cash for taxis, markets and tips.

Tips for delegates

Tens of thousands of participants are expected, so book weekend tours and transfers early. Many experiences offer free cancellation, and the hotel zones of Lara and Belek are the closest to the venue.
