Alanya Airport Transfer: Antalya Airport or Gazipaşa to Alanya
Alanya has two airports within reach. Antalya Airport (AYT) is the big international hub with flights from almost everywhere, but it is about two hours away. Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport (GZP) is much closer, around 45 minutes from the town centre, but has far fewer flights. Most visitors land at Antalya, which is why a reliable private transfer matters so much on this route.
Antalya Airport to Alanya
The drive is about 125 km along the D400 coastal road, through Serik and Manavgat, past Side and along the resort coast of Okurcalar and Avsallar. Without traffic it takes around two hours; on summer weekends allow two and a half. For a journey of this length, a comfortable private car is a big step up from a coach that stops at many hotels along the way.
Price
The fixed fare from Antalya Airport to Alanya is €75 per vehicle. The same fare applies to Konaklı, Mahmutlar, Avsallar, Okurcalar, İncekum and Türkler. It includes a private Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases, airport fees and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. Shared between a family of four, that is a modest amount per person for a two-hour, door-to-door journey. Booking the return at the same time gives you a discount on the return leg.
Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport
If your airline flies to Gazipaşa, the airport is about 41 km from Alanya, roughly 45 minutes. We also drive from Gazipaşa; journeys from there are priced by distance, and the fixed price is shown in the booking form before you pay. Gazipaşa has a limited schedule, so for most travellers the choice of airport is decided by the flights available.
Meeting your driver
We follow your flight. After baggage reclaim, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Child seats are free on request. On a two-hour drive, a short break on the way is normal – agree it with the driver at the start.
Going back
For an international flight from Antalya, leave Alanya about four hours before departure: two hours on the road plus check-in and security. On summer Saturdays and Sundays, add half an hour.
Booking
Search from “Antalya Airport” to your Alanya hotel or address on the booking form. To compare with taxis, see Alanya taxi service; for resort advice, see Alanya resort transfers.
How to book, step by step
Villas, apartments and door-to-door pickups
Alanya is not only a resort town. Thousands of people own or rent apartments here, especially in Mahmutlar, Kestel and Oba, and many arrive for long stays rather than a week in a hotel. A door-to-door transfer brings you from the arrivals hall at Antalya Airport to the entrance of your building.
Areas and fare
From Antalya Airport, the fixed fare is €75 per vehicle to:
- Alanya town, including the harbour and Cleopatra Beach area,
- Mahmutlar, east of the centre,
- Konaklı, west of the centre,
- Avsallar, İncekum, Okurcalar and Türkler on the coast towards Side.
The car is a Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases.
Apartment complexes
Large residential complexes in Alanya often have several blocks and a security gate. In the booking notes, please give:
- the complex name and block number,
- a contact phone number (yours, the owner’s or the site manager’s),
- gate codes or instructions for late arrivals.
Long stays and lots of luggage
If you are coming for a season, you may travel with more than the usual luggage. The Vito takes 6 large items in total; if you bring more, mention it and we will advise whether a second vehicle is needed.
The journey
Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and drives about two hours along the coast. At your address the luggage is unloaded at the door. For the return, the pickup is at the same entrance; leave about four hours before an international flight from Antalya.
From Gazipaşa
If you fly into Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport, about 41 km from Alanya, we can drive you door to door from there too. Enter the route on the booking form to see the price.

Planning your arrival and departure
Getting to Alanya takes a little more planning than reaching resorts closer to Antalya Airport. This guide covers the decisions that matter, from choosing an airport to timing your departure.
1. Choose your airport
Antalya Airport (AYT) has the most flights and is about 125 km from Alanya – around two hours by road. Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport (GZP) is about 41 km from Alanya – around 45 minutes – but has fewer flights. Compare total travel time, not just the flight.
2. Book your transfers early
- Book as soon as your flights are confirmed, especially for July and August.
- Choose “Return” on the search form to book both journeys at once; the return leg is discounted.
- Add your flight number so we can follow your arrival.
- Mention children’s ages (child seats are free) and any extra luggage.
3. Arrival day
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign; the first 60 minutes after landing are free. From Antalya Airport, the fare to Alanya is €75 per vehicle for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases. On the two-hour drive, a short break is normal – agree it with the driver.
4. Days out
- Manavgat waterfall – about 62 km, 1 hour 10 minutes
- Side – about 64 km, 1 hour 5 minutes
- Aspendos – about 95 km, 1 hour 35 minutes
- Belek – about 104 km, 1 hour 45 minutes
- Kaleiçi, Antalya – about 134 km, 2 hours 20 minutes
Closer to home, the Dim river valley and the Dim cave are popular on hot days. See long-distance transfers from Alanya.
5. Departure day
For an international flight from Antalya, leave Alanya about four hours before departure; on busy summer weekends, four and a half. From Gazipaşa, two and a half hours before departure is usually enough. Your driver collects you from your hotel or apartment entrance.
Changes
Send changes at least 48 hours before the pickup. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the pickup; later cancellations are not refundable; see the cancellation policy.
All-inclusive resorts
Many of the big all-inclusive resorts that carry an “Alanya” address are actually spread along the coast west of the town: in Türkler, Okurcalar, Avsallar, İncekum and Konaklı. Knowing where your resort is helps you estimate the drive – the fare from Antalya Airport is the same for all of them.
Resort areas
- Türkler and Okurcalar – the westernmost resorts, closest to Antalya Airport; around an hour and three quarters.
- Avsallar and İncekum – sandy beaches and many large family resorts.
- Konaklı – just west of Alanya town.
- Alanya town and Mahmutlar – city hotels near Cleopatra Beach and the harbour, and resorts to the east.
From Antalya Airport the fixed fare to all of these is €75 per vehicle, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases.
Arriving at a resort
Resorts usually have a security gate; your driver deals with it and stops at the main reception. Check-in usually involves passports and wristbands. If you arrive before your room is ready, the resort will normally keep your luggage while you use the facilities.
Check-out and departure
Check-out is usually around midday, and many flights leave Antalya in the evening. Ask about late check-out or a day room. From the Alanya resorts, plan to leave about four hours before an international flight from Antalya – a little less from Okurcalar, a little more from Mahmutlar.
Is Gazipaşa an option?
Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport is about 41 km east of Alanya town. For resorts in Mahmutlar and Alanya it is much closer than Antalya; for Okurcalar and Türkler the difference is smaller. If your airline offers a Gazipaşa flight, enter it as pickup on the booking form to see the price.
Out and about
Alanya’s sights are close to the resorts: the castle on the peninsula, the Red Tower and the harbour, Cleopatra Beach and the Damlataş cave. Further afield, the Dim river valley and Side are popular day trips; see long-distance transfers from Alanya.
