💡 Key Takeaways
- Resort hotels have no direct bus. Public buses run airport ↔ Antalya city only — for Belek, Side, Kemer and Alanya you'll need a taxi or private transfer.
- Distances vary hugely: Lara ~15 km (20 min) up to Kaş/Kalkan ~185 km (2.5–3 hrs).
- Public transport (Bus 600 to the Otogar, then an intercity coach) is cheapest but slow and involves changes with luggage.
- Private transfer is the only true door-to-door option with a fixed price and a driver waiting at arrivals.

Your options from Antalya Airport
1. Private transfer — door to door, fixed price
The simplest option: a driver meets you at arrivals with your name sign and takes you straight to your hotel for a price fixed when you book. No meter, no changes, and your flight is tracked in case of delays — ideal for families, groups, or long runs like Alanya and Kaş.
2. Airport taxi
Metered yellow taxis wait outside arrivals. Fine for short hops to Lara or the city, but for far resorts the meter climbs fast — expect roughly €70–€105 to Kemer/Side and well over €100 to Alanya, plus you'll need Turkish Lira. Always insist on the meter.
3. Public transport (cheapest, slowest)
Bus 600 runs between the airport and Antalya's intercity bus terminal (Otogar) roughly every 30 minutes. From the Otogar you can catch an intercity coach to Alanya, Side and other towns. It's the budget choice (a few euros), but to Alanya it can take 3+ hours with changes — tough with luggage or kids. The Antray tram and Havaş/Antobus shuttles also link the airport with the city centre.
Skip the changes and the meter. Book a fixed-price door-to-door transfer to your resort:
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a bus from Antalya Airport to the resorts?
Not directly. Buses connect the airport with Antalya city and the intercity Otogar; from there you change to a coach for towns like Alanya or Side. There's no public bus to Belek's hotel zone — you'll need a taxi or private transfer.
How far is Alanya from Antalya Airport?
About 124 km along the D400 coastal highway, roughly a 2-hour drive by taxi or private transfer (longer by public bus with changes).
What's the easiest way to reach my hotel with luggage?
A private airport transfer — the driver meets you at arrivals and drives you directly to your hotel door, with space for luggage and no changes.
How much does a taxi cost from Antalya Airport?
Short hops (Lara, city) are inexpensive, but far resorts get pricey on the meter — often €70–€105 to Kemer or Side and over €100 to Alanya. A pre-booked transfer gives you a fixed price instead.
