Things To do In Antalya At Night | List + Location
Is Antalya good for nightlife?
Antalya is different from other Turkish cities, where people go home when the sun goes down. In Antalya, the nightlife starts at sunset, and not only do those outside not go to their homes, but also those at home come out, so the streets would be crowded.
I have visited different places in Antalya at night and gained new experiences. In the rest of this article, I will share my experiences with you so that you can spend the most memorable nights in Antalya.

All the places I introduced above are open from dusk until 4-5 a.m. I will introduce some of my favorite places in the following.
Atatürk Bulvarı
Many people know Ataturk Street as Ataturk Bulvarı. This street has everything you want.
A one-kilometer-long street leads from one side to İsmet Paşa Street and from the other side to Işıklar Street. This street is very similar to Istiklal Street in Istanbul. The tram passes through it, and palm trees are planted along the street, which gives me a good feeling.
Atatürk Street is located in one of the oldest areas of Antalya, called Murat Pasha, which is called Lara today.
If you travel to Antalya and don’t see the nights of this street, it’s like you have not seen Antalya yet!
This street has many shops and commercial centers, and famous brands such as Adidas and LC Waikiki have branches there.
It doesn’t matter how much budget you have for shopping because different clothes are sold on this street at various prices, so you can buy them and enjoy the night out.
A large mall named Antalya Migros is also located at the end of the street. Here, many luxury shops sell expensive goods.
I remember the exact night I visited this street very well. The street was full of people, and you could see laughter and happiness on everyone’s faces. On the side of the street, a person was playing an instrument, and many people gathered around it and danced to the music. The smell of Doner kebab also covered the whole street, and the beautiful lights multiplied the grandeur of the palm trees.
If you go to this street, you can kill two birds with one stone and visit Antalya shopping centers, restaurants, clubs, etc.,
Kaleiçi
Kaleiçi is one of Antalya’s oldest areas. I didn’t expect to see so many people when I went there in the summer.
The number of bars and clubs is very high, but more is needed because many people cannot attend their favorite clubs.
Pay attention to the fact that this place gets very crowded at night. It is one of the best places to learn about the culture of other countries and the people of Antalya. But if you don’t feel like crowds, don’t go to this area and choose beaches and Turkish baths.
This area is more expensive than other parts of Antalya due to its touristic nature, clubs, hotels, cafes, and restaurants.
During my various visits, I have found some good clubs, which I am listing below so you can also go:
Boarding the ship
The first night I was in Kaleiçi, I decided to board the ship and have dinner. The cost of getting to the ship was 25 dollars, but as I understood, the costs vary according to the ships’ facilities, ranging between 20 and 50 dollars.
This ship took me so far from the port that I could hardly see it anymore. First, I had dinner, and then the night entertainment on the ship began. There was a variety of drinks available, and I could drink as much as I wanted.
After dinner, happy music was played on the cruise and everyone started dancing with their partners and friends.
Dreamy nights on the beaches of Antalya
One of the tourist attractions of this city is the beaches. When discussing different beaches, the first thing that comes to mind is a pleasant sunbathing and water sports and activities. Moreover, there are many things to enjoy the dreamy nights on these beaches.
Going to the beaches of Antalya at night is recommended for nature lovers.
Lying on the beach and staring at the stars and the sky is one of the most amazing moments that can lift one’s mood.
Konyaalti beach, Patara, Kemer, and Lara beaches are among the best beaches in this city, where you can spend the night.
Next to these beaches are various clubs, cafes, and restaurants open 24 hours a day and provide services.
Water games and boating on the beaches are closed at night, and most people who want to walk with their loved ones and relax go to these beaches.
Jolly Joker club
If you are interested in live music, why do not you add Jolly Joker Club to your what to do in Antalya at night entertainment list
In this club, which has a capacity of about 500 people, live music is performed by famous Turkish artists and even international artists. Also, many famous and popular artists come to this place to dance.
Besides enjoying live music, you can also enjoy delicious food and drinks in the southern part of the club.
Jolly Joker Club is next to Dedeman Hotel, one of the biggest hotels in Turkey. If you go there by private car, don’t worry about traffic and parking lots; Club Jolly Joker has a parking lot with a capacity of 200 cars.
I checked the opinions of different people who visited this cafe. This club has scored 3.5 out of 5, and one of its advantages is the presence of people and tourists without the mafia, and for this reason, there is not much trouble there; But the high price of drinks is one of the points that you should pay attention to in this place.
Antalya State Opera and Ballett
Watching opera and ballet is one of the things to do at night in Antalya, and it is considered luxury entertainment. Many tourists are interested in watching opera and spectacular theaters in Antalya. Watching these beautiful performances in a 2000-year-old ancient theater will be a unique experience for everyone. Operas and theaters in this city are considered perfect entertainment for families. You can experience a memorable night during your trip to Antalya by visiting these performances.
Also, you are interested in watching modern programs and performances. In that case, there is a modern convention center next to this historical arena where very spectacular and entertaining programs are held day and night.

Night tour tips in Antalya
From sunset until 4 a.m., people are busy having fun and going out at night, but after 12 o’clock, be more careful. Do not go to dark and quiet places because some people may steal your things.
Also, if you are a woman and have gone to Antalya alone, try returning to the hotel by 1 a.m. because drunk people leave the clubs after 2 and 3 in the morning and come to the streets. They may cause trouble for you.
Also, always use public transportation at night and never ride in other people’s cars.
Finally
In this article, I discussed different types of nightlife in Antalya, from the excitement of cafes and nightclubs to night tours through the streets and the dreamy atmosphere of the City’s beaches.
Last but not least, Antalya has exciting and lively nights, all its entertainment is held officially, and it is safe to a large extent. It is better to keep security points in mind during the entire trip.
