Antalya holidays 2026: the complete guide from Tirana
When to go, how much it costs, where to stay and how to book an all-inclusive Antalya holiday — stress-free and with real prices.
Updated:
Antalya remains the number-one destination for Albanians who want sun, a warm sea and all-inclusive hotels with genuine value for money. With direct charter flights from Tirana of around 1 hour 45 minutes, you can be on the beach the same day you leave. This guide covers everything you need to plan a summer 2026 holiday: the best season, the budget, the main resort areas and practical tips.
Unlike many Mediterranean destinations, Antalya offers 4- and 5-star hotels with "ultra all-inclusive" service — food, drinks and entertainment included — often cheaper than a simple August break on the Albanian coast. That is why families and couples return year after year.
When is the best time to visit Antalya?
The Antalya beach season runs from late April to the end of October. July and August are the hottest months (above 33°C), ideal for a very warm sea but also the busiest and most expensive.
For families and better prices, May, June and September are ideal: pleasant temperatures (26–30°C), a warm sea and less crowded hotels. October stays warm enough to swim, with the lowest prices of the season.
How much does an Antalya holiday cost?
The price depends on the season, the hotel category and the board type (room only, half board or all-inclusive). An all-inclusive charter flight + hotel package usually starts from around €299–400 per person for a week outside peak season, rising in July–August.
