Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from your location in Mysia and head towards the D650 highway. Follow the signs to Antalya. Once on the D650, continue driving until you reach the exit for Manavgat. After exiting, follow the signs to Side. You will drive along Cumhuriyet Boulevard, and the Apollon Temple will be located at Cumhuriyet Blv. No:50, 07600 Manavgat/Antalya. There is parking available near the temple.

Public Transportation

To reach the Apollon Temple using public transportation, you can take a bus from various locations in Mysia to Manavgat. Look for buses heading to 'Manavgat' or 'Side'. Upon arriving at the Manavgat bus station, you can take a dolmuş (shared minibus) towards Side. The dolmuş will drop you off close to the Apollon Temple. It’s advisable to have some Turkish Lira for the bus fare, which typically costs around 10-20 TL. Make sure to ask the driver to let you know when you reach the stop for the temple.

If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from your location in Mysia to the Apollon Temple. This option may be more expensive compared to public transport but offers convenience. Ensure you agree on a fare beforehand or confirm that the taxi uses a meter. The estimated cost from central Mysia to the temple is approximately 200-300 TL, depending on traffic and exact pickup location.
