Car 2.5 to 3 hours

Small bus 4 hours if you use the small bus Fethiye Koop is better than Antalya Koop. The coffee and toilet stop is at a more civilised and clean Lokanta

Large coaches (Pamukkale) 3.5 hours

It took around 2.5 hours for us to reach Antalya.  Yes, the old harbour is lovely, in fact, it reminded me of Sciacca in Sicily.  On they way, as I was overtaking several buses, dolmuses etc, we had great excitement in the car as there in front of me )driving at about 80 mph) was a tortoise 'strolling' across the road; I missed it but only just!

Some friends of ours are planning a trip to Antalya for 2 or 3 nights in an all inclusive hotel - really good value less than £70 for 2 people for 3 nights all inc in a 4 star  :o

Can anyone who has been recommend Antalya for shopping/sightseeing  etc.

The shopping I thought, was a bit of a disappointment although we probably missed some of them.  There is a really good converse shop if you're into that sort of thing.  It'll depend on what you're looking for.

For shopping there is;
Migros centre at Konyaalti.
Deepo on the airport road.
Gulluk which is a street with lots of clothes and shoe shops near to the city centre.
Doygu Garaj a permanent covered market similar to the Fethiye  Tuesday market.
Shops in the city centre.

Sight seeing;
A wander through Kaleici the old town.
Aspendos.
Perge.
Waterfalls at Duden and at Kursunlu.
A walk in the new park along the cliff top ( there are some nice cafes and restaurants scattered through the park) between the city centre and Konyaalti beach and then catch the tram back. There is a museum close to the end of the tram line at Konyaalti.

Just a few thoughts.
