Where Can I Take the PCR test in Antalya?

1. State Hospitals in the Antalya Province

You can have your COVID-19 Antigen PCR test done at state hospitals in Antalya. However, taking a PCR test in state hospitals is not highly recommended, as you can expect the following disadvantages: 

Disadvantages:

• One disadvantage is the language barrier that is prevalent in many places in Antalya’s state hospitals. Since many Turkish people still do not speak English as a second language, there may be communication problems.
• Furthermore, you should be prepared for a long wait time at state hospitals. You will usually have to wait in line for a long time (about 1 to 1.5 hours) to be able to take the PCR test, and then, you will have to wait a comparatively long time until the test result is available.

General information:  

• Costs:  The fee per PCR test is 250 TL in state hospitals.
• PCR Test Result Time: Within 24 hours.
• Hours: In state hospitals you can take the PCR test 24/7.
  

We don't recommend this way because of the disadvantages mentioned above. At the same price, get a private service, in your language, and with a easier process.

2. Private Clinics (recommended)

Your last option is to do your PCR test in the Antalya Airport. This option is not really ideal, here is why.

4. The Antalya Airport

The Antalya Airport offers travelers the opportunity to have pre-flight PCR testing at the Antalya Airport.

You can find the testing center in Terminal 1 Arrivals.  You will pass by it when you arrive at the Antalya Airport. When you are at the exit, just look to the left, and you will see the testing center.

• Disadvantages:

 The testing center in the Antalya Airport is very busy, which is why you have to expect long wait times here. In addition, you have to wait in several lines, one after the other, to get a number, to pay the testing fee, and then to head to the testing cabins to finally take the PCR test.

Since in many cases, for example for a trip to Germany, you can only fly if you have a negative PCR test result (which is not older than 48 hours), there is a risk of missing the flight if you do not arrive early enough.

You can go to the check-in only when you have your negative test result. You will have to show it along with your travel documents. Please check the current regulations for your country of entry, as well as your airline.

For the check-in itself, you should plan at least 2 hours. Please note, that with almost all airlines you also have to check in your hand luggage, which in turn leads to a longer procedure.

It is also important to note that online check-in is currently not possible at the Antalya Airport. This is due to the fact that the negative PCR test and all other documents must be checked at check-in.

Travelers who wish to take the PCR test at the airport are therefore strongly advised to arrive at the Antalya Airport as early as possible, but at least 6 hours before departure, so that there is enough time for the PCR test, the result from the test, and for check-in.

General Information:

• Cost: The PCR test costs 170 TL at the Antalya airport. 175 TL for the antigenic test.
• PCR Test Result Time: On average, the test results come out in 2.5 to 4 hours.
• Hours: You can take the PCR test 24/7 at the Antalya Airport.

Bottom line

Due to the limited capacity at the Antalya Airport and state hospitals, you can expect a very long wait times. For this reason, it's not highly recommended to take the PCR test at the airport or in state hospitals in Antalya.

The least stressful option is to get tested directly in your own hotel, if this option is offered. Otherwise, it's recommended to have the PCR test done in a private clinic in Antalya.
