Antalya airport swamped with tourists amidst soaring prices

It's started! The airport in Antalya, Turkey, is experiencing what can only be described as a siege. Videos have surfaced online showing constant streams of tourists passing through this bustling hub. Those who are thirsty or hungry will have to dig deeper into their wallets. "You'll need a mortgage," joke internet users.

People on vacation are looking for places to relax by the sea, enjoy beautiful views, and savor delicious cuisine. If they can do it without spending a fortune – all the better. That's exactly why tourists love Turkey.

For some time now, Antalya has been breaking records in popularity, known for its extensive beaches, picturesque views, and interesting landmarks.

TikTok users have shown what the airport in Antalya looks like these days. The recordings display crowds of tourists constantly rolling through the airport.

Good luck to anyone traveling from the airport in Antalya, wrote one of the video authors with sarcasm.

When heading for a vacation in this popular resort, it's worth arming yourself with patience and taking a well-stocked wallet. Tourists also shared the prices at the besieged airport. "You'll need a mortgage to buy anything. (...) Prices are crazy! $22 for a piece of pizza," reports one of the video authors.

But that's not all. Pringles chips cost €6.50 ($7), a frozen coffee costs $9-10, and the same goes for a chicken sandwich. Salads are similarly priced. However, it's worth noting that the portions are large, and no ingredients were spared when preparing meals for tourists.
