If you're in the old town and want to rent a car to explore Antalya's surroundings, you can try this agency.
We got a pretty new car, and the usual empty fuel tank. The price was about Euro 200 for one week, excluding fuel and we found the people there friendly and helpful.

The address is Barboros Mah Akar Cesme Sok., 3 - Kaleici / Antalya

Please be very careful if you book a car rental through RENT A CAR ANTALYA. I used this company and was required to leave a cash deposit of £200. When I returned the car the agent agreed that the car was in perfect condition but had 'forgotten' my deposit. What could I do when I had a plane to catch. He promised to send the money to me by Western Union.

1 month later I am still waiting for this money to be returned to me. I would advise you NEVER to use this company!

We took the tram from the Antalya Museum to the old city. The cost was 1.3 lire and it did not matter how far you went, the cost was the same. These old trams were donated by Germany when they stopped using trams in West Berlin.

--- Leave Kaliechi by the Clock Tower, following the tram line with the park on your left. When you're opposite the Selekler Center (grey, modern shopping center), there's a tram stop and kiosk. A little further on is a pull-over near a round fountain. the Havas bus leaves for the airport on the hour and for 10 TL.

We were staying in the Barut Lara Resort outside the main city so one day we decided to get the bus into town, even though our hotel offered a shuttle service.

Good points:
* amazingly, the bus will stop anywhere and i mean anywhere on the route! people dont really even wait at bus-stops as the bus will stop if you look at it or stick your hand out, also the bus will stop for you when you press the button so we got dropped off right at the front door of our hotel.
* it is cheap, 2.25 lira each (in June 2009)
* the locals on the bus are very friendly and will offer their seats to you as well as pass you your change from the driver

Bad points:
* VERY HOT!!!!!!
* these tiny little mini buses cram in as many people as will fit in

make sure you know what number bus you need

i would recommend travelling by the buses as we had a good experience on them, if a little hot and sweaty and crowded.
