Romantic Dinner Tour with a Private Chauffeur

The hard part of a special dinner in Antalya is never the restaurant. It is the hour before and the hour after — finding somewhere to park near Kaleiçi, standing on a corner at eleven at night hoping for a taxi, or deciding whether a second glass of wine is worth the drive back. This booking removes all of it: a car and a driver for the day, ending with dinner and a door-to-door return.

Because the car is yours for the full day, the hours before the evening are not dead time. Couples tend to use them lightly — the old harbour, an hour along the Konyaaltı seafront, a drive up to a viewpoint, a meal at a local restaurant on the way. Nothing so strenuous that you arrive at dinner already finished.

Antalya offers three broadly different dinner settings, and they are not interchangeable:

• Kaleiçi courtyards — stone walls, lamplight, and a short walk down to the harbour afterwards
• The Lara and Konyaaltı seafront — modern rooms with the water directly in front of them
• Up in the hills — cooler air, far fewer people, and the city lights spread out below

Say which of the three appeals and the day is routed to finish there. Reservations can be arranged on request when you book.

Turkish dinner runs late by northern European habits. Restaurants fill from about nine, and a table booked for seven often means eating in an empty room. If you want the atmosphere as well as the food, plan the afternoon so you are not hungry at six, and let the evening start when the city's does.

The driver waits. There is no pickup time to make, no fare to negotiate at midnight, and no walk to a rank. You leave when you are done and are returned to your hotel entrance.

The day covers hotel collection and return, an air-conditioned Mercedes, an English, German or Russian-speaking guide, admission wherever you visit a site, one restaurant meal, drinking water and insurance. The evening meal itself is not the included one, so you choose the restaurant freely and settle that bill on the night.
