From NOAA's monthly station summaries for Antalya, Tu (9.3 km away), averaged over 2011 to 2025.

Internet in Antalya

In M-Lab's open speed tests within 25 km of Antalya, half came in above 28 Mbps download and 8 Mbps upload, and the fastest quarter of lines above 69 Mbps.

That's 764,396 download tests from September 2025 to September 2026.

The typical figure counts every line, cheap and mobile ones too; a fiber line in a good apartment or coworking space is closer to the fastest quarter.

Cost of living in Antalya

One person spends about $1,001 a month in Antalya, with a furnished place to stay:

The rent is estimated from Turkey's housing prices, as Inside Airbnb doesn't cover Antalya.

The rest is what a one-person US household spends (the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2024 survey), at Turkey's prices for each (the World Bank's 2021 price comparison).

Coworking, insurance and flights come on top.

Air quality in Antalya

By an estimate, the air in Antalya carries about 11 µg/m³ of fine particles (PM2.5) over a year, 2.2 times the WHO's guideline of 5 µg/m³.

The cleanest month is December, at about 7 µg/m³, and the haziest is May.

No open air quality station is within 25 km of Antalya, so these are estimates from Copernicus's CAMS air model for the surrounding area (an 80 km grid, 2023 to 2025, CC BY 4.0), adjusted to what stations measure elsewhere.

Take them as a guide: the model can be well off in big cities, and a measured figure replaces it once a station opens.

Is Antalya safe?

The US State Department rates Turkey Level 2 ("Exercise increased caution", updated 2026-06-09), the same level it gives France, Germany, the UK and Spain.

Levels 1 and 2 are both everyday travel; the US only asks you to reconsider a trip at Level 3.

Some advisories raise the level for parts of a country, so read the full advisory before you book.

Visas, taxes and residency in Turkey

Before you plan a long stay, check what your passport allows and what staying does to your taxes:

• Can you stay? – see where your passport goes without a visa on the visa-free countries map, and whether Turkey has a visa for remote workers in the digital nomad visa finder
• Tax – compare Turkey's income tax with other countries in tax rates by country
• Foreign income – Turkey taxes its tax residents on their income from anywhere; see the rule and its exceptions on the territorial tax map

Each tool reads the official rules, so the answer is for your own passport and income.

Money in Antalya

A card with no foreign fee and an account that holds several currencies make a stay much cheaper:

• Accounts – the best bank accounts for digital nomads, by where you live
• Cards – what a card costs you abroad in the card fees abroad calculator
• Sending money – the cheapest way to move money there in the money transfer comparison

The finders show only accounts and cards you can open from where you live.
