Enter the code, then press the confirmation button*, Yes, or the logo. It won't unlock without it. Active 22 Sept 15:00 → 28 Sept 10:00. Yale Home app gives a virtual key as backup.
Checkout conflict. Airbnb and the lock code say 10:00; Begüm's email says 10:30. The code dies at 10:00 either way — step outside after that and you're locked out. Get it confirmed, and ask for the window to be extended if it really is 10:30.

Getting around

7 min walk
Hadrian's Gate & Kaleiçi old town — 500 m, mostly flat
20 min drive
Antalya Airport (AYT) — 13.3 km; 32 min by T1A tram + walk
5–10 min walk
Işıklar Caddesi, Balbey & Şarampol — where the local food is
Car by the day, not the week. Everything in town is walkable; hire only for out-of-town trips (£20–35/day, most firms deliver free). Rent on a 24-hour cycle — 08:00 to 08:00 — so the evening golden hour isn't lost to an office closing time. Free on-street parking at the apartment.

Before you fly

  • Send passport photo pages to the host — all 3 incl. Jordan, before arrival day. Mandatory under Turkish Law 7464
  • Turkish e-visa × 3 — evisa.gov.tr only, ~$45 each incl. the toddler
  • Check UK residence permits valid past 28 Sept — verified at BHX check-in
  • Download the Yale Home app as a backup key
  • International Driving Permit (1968) — £5.50, Post Office
  • Book airport transfer with a child seat
  • Travel insurance

Ask the host

  • Checkout — 10:00 or 10:30? And extend the lock code if it's 10:30
  • Lift or stairs? Not stated anywhere — matters with a stroller
  • AC in both bedrooms, or living room only?
  • Confirm your WhatsApp number — instructions come that way
  • Does the free mid-stay clean apply at 6 nights?
Heads up. The Antalya Archaeological Museum is closed — demolished and being rebuilt, due back end of 2026. Termessos is off the list too: a steep 30-minute climb, not toddler-friendly.
