Gate-side Relay beats digging through your suitcase for reading material
Relay shows up across Antalya Airport, mainly in T1 and T2, as the default stop for magazines, snacks, and last‑minute cables. Hours aren’t clearly published, but shops typically track flight banks and stay open from early-morning departures through the late-night European charters. Expect standard airport pricing: bottled water and soft drinks cost more than city supermarkets, but still under typical duty free levels.
You’ll find the usual Relay mix: Turkish and international magazines, paperbacks, basic stationery, and travel gear like neck pillows and power adapters. In AYT, they lean hard on grab-and-go snacks, with plenty of packaged nuts, chocolate bars, and small 0.5L drinks that pass security in T1, T2, and T3 without issue. If you need a quick gift, look for pre-packed Turkish delight boxes with printed “Antalya” branding instead of generic candy.
Tech-wise, Relay usually carries USB-C, Lightning, and older micro‑USB cables, plus simple wired earphones that work with most airline seatback systems. Expect prices in the 200–600 TRY range for accessories, based on recent Turkish airport retail levels. Don’t come here for serious electronics; power banks and headphones are basic quality and often cheaper in town.
Stock can run low on English-language newspapers late in the evening departure waves to the UK and Germany, especially in T1. If that matters to you, buy your reading material before 18:00. One practical move: grab water and snacks at Relay before heading to your gate, since some remote bus gates in T2 and T3 have weak vending options or none at all.
