Antalya to Belek and Kadriye by bus: BA22

Belek and Kadriye are the stretch of coast east of Antalya known for its golf courses and big resort hotels. According to the timetable data, one municipal line goes there: BA22. It starts right next to the Meydan tram stop, runs along Aspendos Bulvarı, Serik Caddesi and the D400 to Kadriye and Belek, and ends in Boğazkent. Whether you're coming from the airport or the centre, you take the tram to Meydan first and change to BA22 there. Travel times and departures below come from the timetable.

There's no direct city bus from the airport to Belek, so you change once, at Meydan. Take the T1A tram from the Havalimanı2 stop and get off at Meydan2. BA22's first stop, Meydan Depolama Serik, is just a few steps from the tram stop. For the centre of Belek, get off at Belek Mah. Turizm Cd. 5.

If you'd rather not take the tram, line 800 runs from the Dış Hatlar Terminali 2 stop to Meydan Depolama Merkezi 4, a short walk from the BA22 stop. It's slower than the tram and runs less often, though, so check its times in the line list below.

From Kaleiçi or the centre, take the T1A towards the airport or the T1B towards Expo from İsmetpaşa1 and get off at Meydan1. From the bus station it works the same way: T1A or T1B from Otogar1 to Meydan1. The timetable data has no direct municipal line from the bus station to Belek. The BA22 stop is a short walk from Meydan1.

BA22 passes through Kadriye before Belek, stopping on Atatürk Caddesi, Alan Caddesi and Turizm Caddesi. The Land of Legends theme park is in Kadriye too. According to local reports, the stops near the park are the ones on Atatürk Caddesi: Kadriye Atatürk Cd. 2 on the way out, and Kadriye Atatürk Cd. 7 towards Antalya on the way back. Check the walk from the stop to the entrance on the map before you set off. If you're staying in Kadriye, look up which stop is nearest your hotel; the Turizm Caddesi stops come after the Atatürk Caddesi ones.

For the centre of Belek, get off at Belek Mah. Turizm Cd. 5. The hotels are spread out along the coast, while BA22 runs along Turizm Caddesi. In the timetable data, the Belek-bound bus stops in Belek only at Turizm Cd. 5 and 8 and then carries on to Boğazkent; towards Antalya it stops far more often along Turizm Caddesi. Before you go, check on the map which stop is nearest your hotel in each direction.

For the way back, take BA22 towards Antalya; near the centre of Belek, board at Belek Mah. Turizm Cd. 4. Make sure it's not the one heading to Boğazkent, which goes the other way. The bus ends at Meydan Depolama Serik. From there, for the centre or the bus station, take the tram from Meydan2; for the airport, take the T1A from Meydan1.

• There's no official word that Antalyakart or contactless bank cards work on BA22, and passengers on the district lines say they mostly pay in cash. Carry some Turkish lira in cash and ask the driver when you board.
• From the airport, the trip with the change at Meydan takes well over an hour. If you're coming back in the evening, check the last departure: the last bus towards Antalya leaves a good while before the last one out to Belek. The line's times start at its first stop, while the cards here show when the bus reaches your stop.
• Varda shows when the next bus will reach your stop from its live position. The app can follow your ride and tell you when your stop is coming up, which helps with the numbered, look-alike stops along Turizm Caddesi.
