Antalya Airport to Alanya: transfer options, travel time and arrival tips

How long does the transfer from Antalya Airport to Alanya take?

A private transfer from Antalya Airport to Alanya takes about 125 min and covers 125 km. That is the time from leaving the airport to arriving at your hotel or home, and it varies slightly depending on whether you are staying in central Alanya or in Konakli, Oba or Tosmur. Shared shuttles and package holiday transfers may stop at other hotels along the way, so the journey can take longer.

Private transfer, shared shuttle, taxi or bus: how the options compare

The ways of getting from Antalya Airport to Alanya differ in who you share the vehicle with, whether it stops along the way and when you find out what the journey will cost.

Option	Journey time	How it works
Private transfer	125 min	The vehicle is reserved for you and the people on your booking and takes you directly to your hotel or home.
Shared shuttle	1–1.5 hours longer than a private transfer	Leaves at a set departure time and stops at different hotels for other passengers.
Package holiday transfer	As long as a shared shuttle, or longer	Runs by coach or minibus and calls at a number of hotels.
Airport taxi	Same as a private transfer	Taken from the taxi rank at the airport; the fare is metered and paid at the end of the journey.
Public bus via Antalya bus station	At least 3 hours from Antalya bus station to Alanya bus station; getting to Antalya bus station and travelling from Alanya bus station to your address takes extra time	Tram or bus to Antalya bus station, then an intercity coach to Alanya bus station.

Shared vehicles take longer because they stop for other passengers. A shared shuttle can carry passengers bound for different resorts in the same direction, so it may stop at hotels in other areas before it reaches Alanya. With a private transfer you do not share the vehicle, so there are no such stops. Some passengers also call a private transfer a VIP transfer.

Reaching Alanya by public transport means changing at least twice. The T1A tram from the airport's arrivals stop, or bus 600, runs to Antalya bus station, where several coach companies operate services to Alanya; departure times vary with the season and the time of day. From Alanya bus station, some companies run a minibus service along a set route, but reaching a hotel or home usually still means taking a taxi for the final stretch.

Where in Alanya are you staying?

Central Alanya, Konakli, Oba and Tosmur are in the same transfer area. Mahmutlar, Kestel and Kargicak are also part of Alanya, but transfers to these areas are priced separately; you can find their prices in the transfer price list.

How you are met at Antalya Airport

With a private transfer, you are met at the terminal exit by a representative holding a sign with your name on it, a service usually known as meet and greet. Once you have cleared passport control and collected your luggage, look for your name on the sign as you come out; from there, you are taken to the vehicle and on to where you are staying in Alanya.

If you cannot see the sign with your name on it, you can contact the 24/7 pick-up support team by WhatsApp, text message or phone, using the number given in your booking form. This team can only help you find the representative at the airport; for other enquiries, please use the contact form.

What happens if your flight is delayed?

A delayed flight does not cancel your private transfer booking. Your flight is tracked using your flight number, and the meeting time is adjusted if you land later or earlier than scheduled. With a shared shuttle, a passenger who misses their vehicle because of a flight delay travels on the next available shared shuttle. If the airline cancels your flight and moves you onto another one, you need to update your booking details so that the new flight can be tracked.

What to check before booking a transfer

When choosing a transfer company, first check whether it is a licensed travel agency registered with TÜRSAB, the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies. Licensed companies usually link to a TÜRSAB verification page at the bottom of their website, where you can check that the site belongs to a licensed agency. After that, look at whether the price is fixed when you book, whether your flight is tracked, what the cancellation terms are and what other passengers say.

A price fixed at booking means the amount you pay will not change because of traffic or waiting time on the road. Flight tracking lets the representative adjust the meeting time to your flight's actual landing time, whether it is late or early. The simplest way to tell whether a company tracks flights is to see if it asks for your flight number when you book. When reading cancellation terms, check the deadline for free cancellation. In reviews, comments about the airport pick-up and how flight delays were handled tell you more than the overall score.

Brimzu is a licensed travel agency registered with TÜRSAB (licence no. 11315), and you will find its verification link at the bottom of this site. The price shown in the transfer price list and stated again when you book is fixed and will not change afterwards, and because your flight is tracked through the flight number in your booking, you are met even if it is delayed. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the transfer. Once the vehicle leaves the airport, it takes you straight to where you are staying without stopping anywhere else.

Your return transfer to Antalya Airport

For your return transfer, the vehicle comes to your hotel reception or lobby entrance at the time stated in your booking, or to the address you gave if you are staying in a home. You choose the pick-up time to suit your flight, allowing for the check-in and bag drop times given by your airline. The journey takes as long as it did on the way in, but it can take 30–60 minutes longer at the end of Turkish public holidays, in high season and at the airport's busiest flight times. On the last days of long holiday periods, traffic leaving Alanya gets particularly heavy, so allow for this extra time.

Frequently asked questions

Are airport transfers cheaper than taxis?

The two are priced in different ways. Airport taxis charge by the meter, so you only know the final fare at the end of the journey. A pre-booked transfer has a price that is fixed when you book, so you know the cost before you travel.

What is the difference between a private transfer and a shared shuttle?

In a private transfer, the vehicle is used only by you and the people on your booking, and it goes directly to your address. A shared shuttle carries other passengers too, leaves at a set time and stops at several hotels, so the journey takes longer.

Are there transfers for late-night arrivals?

Yes, transfers also run for flights landing late at night or in the early hours. The meeting time is based on your flight's actual landing time, and if you cannot find the representative at the airport, you can contact the 24/7 pick-up support team.

Can I add a child seat?

When you book, you can add a maximum of one child seat for an extra charge.

Can I cancel my transfer?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your transfer. Once your booking is confirmed, you receive a confirmation email with your transfer details, and you can use these details to cancel or change your booking on the My Reservation page.
