Why is Yandex Taxi not finding cars in Antalya — especially near hotels?

Another example: round-trip Yandex Taxi ride to/from a hotel in the Sera area. On the return trip there are plenty of taxis waiting nearby, but local hotel-zone taxi drivers openly confront Yandex drivers — passengers reported having to actively defend their driver from being turned away.

Yandex Taxi drivers are often blocked from entering large hotel zones in Antalya. Local taxi operators near hotels and resort clusters control access and prevent outside drivers from picking up passengers — an unofficial but common issue.

If Yandex Taxi shows no available cars, try walking to the nearest public street and setting your pickup point there — this often bypasses hotel zone restrictions.

Yandex Taxi does work in Antalya and can be quite affordable — for example, a ride from Terra City mall to IKEA was reported as very cheap.
