Our favorite beach. This spot is a hidden gem, a bit off of the tourist track with more of a local feel. It's fairly cheap to rent a chair for the day, and the ocean is much easier to get into via the stairs here than it is on Konyaaltı's pebble-filled shore. Read our post.

An excellent spot with many labelled vegan options including a falafel eggplant wrap, hummus, baba ghanoush, fava bean salad, and pizza (with vegan cheese).

Of the two restaurants delivering to the coworking for lunch, this is the only one with vegan options. The stuffed grape vine leaves are an everyday favorite, but they also have lentil salad, chickpeas, zucchini, eggplant, and bulgur pilaf.

Clearly labelled vegan options, and the owner has a lot of jokes. The chana masala might be the best we've ever had. The spices are pungent and of high quality.

A globally decorated cafe with a few vegan options. We tried their spicy oyster mushroom wrap, which was a pleasant change from food you can find elsewhere in Antalya.

We only ate there once on account of it being quite expensive, but it would be amiss for us to not include the only fully vegan restaurant in Antalya's old town. They use quality ingredients and have healthy options if you find yourself craving fresh veggies.

An old town restaurant with a few vegan options, including a delicious kale salad with sweet potato and grapefruit. They have a little herb garden, and the ambience is lovely.

Prices are quite high, but there are a number of vegan options, including potato or spinach-stuffed mantı with vegan yogurt, and kabak tatlisı, a Turkish dessert of sugared pumpkin with chopped walnuts and tahini.

A bit far, but worth a visit if you're around Konyaaltı Beach. It's a fully vegan restaurant with many traditional Turkish dishes as well as a range of desserts.

The lentil soup is here is possibly the only vegan option, but you can't beat the price. This is a great spot for a quick and cheap meal.

Not quite food, but this was our favorite orange juice stand, besides the juice you can get at Çiftlik Döner Işıklar. It's right near the coworking and the perfect opportunity to get a cheap and freshly-squeezed juice to start your day.

These swim shoes are essential for Antalya. The main nearby beach, Konyaaltı Beach, has rock grounding rather than sand. We found it difficult to get in the water pain-free without protection on our feet.
