TL;DR
In Antalya, travelers typically look for insulin at local pharmacies (eczane) and try to confirm stock in advance by phone instead of visiting multiple locations. The specific products mentioned were NovoRapid and Apidra SoloStar 100 U/ml, 3 ml / 5 pens, as well as both long-acting and short-acting insulin.
What the community said
The most recent request came from a diabetic traveler looking for both long-acting and short-acting insulin in Turkey. When asking at a pharmacy, it helps to specify the insulin type, not just the brand name.

One urgent request for a child was specifically for Apidra SoloStar 100 U/ml, 3 ml / 5 pens. The practical takeaway is to confirm availability in advance rather than going from pharmacy to pharmacy or hospital to hospital in Antalya.
