Traffic rules and fines

In Turkey, traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 120 km/h on motorways, though always observe local signage. The legal alcohol limit for drivers is very strict, effectively near zero (0.05% BAC, but it's best to avoid alcohol entirely when driving). Headlights must be used in tunnels and during periods of low visibility. Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants, and child seats are required for children under 1.35 meters tall and under 36 kg.

Parking

In Korkuteli town, parking is generally available and often free in designated areas. In busier central locations or larger towns like Antalya, you will find paid street parking or parking garages. Look for signs indicating 'Otopark' for parking facilities. Some hotels offer private parking for guests.

Fuel stations

Fuel stations are readily available in Korkuteli and along major routes throughout Turkey. Both petrol (benzin) and diesel (motorin) are widely sold. LPG (otogaz) is also common. Fuel prices are regulated and typically paid in Turkish Lira (TRY) by cash or credit card. Prices are generally comparable to or slightly higher than average European prices.

Which car to choose

For Korkuteli and the surrounding region, an economy or compact car is usually sufficient for city driving and paved main roads. If you plan to explore more mountainous areas, particularly to reach ancient sites like Termessos or venture onto unpaved secondary roads, an SUV or a car with higher ground clearance would be more comfortable and practical. Manual transmission cars are very common, but automatics are increasingly available.
