Where Is Kizilagac? Side or Manavgat?
Kizilagac is a resort area on the Mediterranean coast in the Manavgat district of Antalya, about 20 minutes' drive from Side town centre. Tourism here began to grow in the early 1990s, and today the coastline is lined mainly with large all-inclusive resorts and beach hotels. Some of the bigger resorts also host training camps for European football teams.
Many tour operators list Kizilagac under Side, and several hotels here also have "Side" in their name. When booking a transfer to one of these hotels, choosing Kizilagac as the destination avoids any mix-up.
Kizilagac is also easily confused with neighbouring Kizilot, but the two are separate resort areas, both within Manavgat.
How to Get from Antalya Airport to Kizilagac
You can travel from Antalya Airport to Kizilagac by private transfer, taxi, shared shuttle, hire car or public transport. A private transfer, taxi or hire car takes you straight to your hotel, while a shared shuttle stops at other hotels along the way and public transport means changing buses.
| Option | Approx. time | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | 90 min | Direct to your hotel, pre-booked, fixed price, met at the terminal exit by a representative with a name sign |
| Taxi | Same as private transfer | Direct to your hotel, from the taxi rank outside the terminal, metered fare |
| Shared shuttle | 30–60 minutes longer than a private transfer (excluding waiting time) | Waits at the airport for other passengers and stops at other hotels on the way to pick up or drop off passengers |
| Car hire | Same as private transfer | Collected at the airport, fuel paid on top of the rental |
| Public transport | 1.5–3 hours | Bus and minibus, changing at Antalya bus station and Manavgat, depends on timetables and waiting times |
Times are given to compare the options. On a shared shuttle, waiting at the airport and hotel stops lengthen the total journey, and on public transport, bus changes and waiting times do the same. Car hire collection time is not included.
Package holidays often include a coach transfer from the tour operator, which usually stops at several hotels before reaching Kizilagac.
On public transport, a city bus runs from the airport to Antalya bus station, where buses leave for Manavgat, followed by a minibus from Manavgat to Kizilagac.
Public transport is usually the cheapest way to reach Kizilagac, but with bus changes and timetables to work around, it takes more time and planning.
Taxi or Private Transfer?
The main differences between a taxi and a private transfer from Antalya Airport to Kizilagac are how the fare is set, the choice of vehicle and how you are met. A taxi charges by the meter, while with a private transfer you choose a vehicle that suits your group and see the full price before you book.
With a private transfer, your flight is tracked using the flight number given at booking. After collecting your luggage, you are met at the terminal exit by a representative holding a name sign.
Families, larger groups and travellers with plenty of luggage can choose a vehicle that suits their needs for a more comfortable journey. Only the passengers on your booking travel in the vehicle, and it goes straight to your hotel without stopping for anyone else.
