TL;DR
Exchange currency at local exchange offices (döviz bürosu) in Antalya rather than at the airport or hotel for better rates. Both USD and EUR are widely accepted.
If you're arriving with USD and considering converting to EUR or lira, do it in the city rather than at the airport. Local exchange offices offer significantly better rates than airport counters.
In the Konyaaltı district, exchange offices are located along the main street. It's worth comparing rates at a few places before exchanging.
For those staying in the Kundu area: avoid exchanging at the hotel. Head to a nearby city exchange office or shopping center for a better rate.
In the Lara district, exchange offices on Lara Caddesi or inside local shopping malls offer decent rates — better than the airport.
Exchanging USD to EUR in Antalya is possible but involves double conversion fees. It's more efficient to exchange directly to Turkish lira from whichever currency you have.
The Kaleiçi old town area and Atatürk Caddesi in central Antalya have a high concentration of exchange offices with competitive rates — a reliable spot for USD or EUR to lira.
