TL;DR
Booking directly with the hotel in Antalya can be up to twice cheaper than using Booking.com. Travel agencies sometimes also beat aggregator prices significantly.
Price heavily depends on hotel occupancy: popular, fully-booked hotels (especially in July) tend to be expensive, while less popular hotels with vacant rooms may offer discounts. Recommended to monitor multiple sites: Agoda, Expedia, Trip.com, Hotels.com, Tatilsepeti, Setur, Otelz.
The same hotel in Antalya listed at $1,500 on Booking.com can cost half that when booked directly. The downside is that not all hotels respond quickly or readily offer direct pricing.
Travel agencies can sometimes offer significantly lower hotel prices than online aggregators. It's worth contacting several agencies and comparing their quotes with what you see on booking platforms.
Budget all-inclusive hotels in Antalya can be found at good prices — search aggregators and travel agencies using hotel-only filters (no flight). Always compare multiple sources as prices can vary a lot.
