Antalya Transfers to Attractions East of the City, Including Dolphinland
The eastern side of Antalya – between Lara, Aksu and the airport – is home to several visitor attractions, including the dolphin park known as Antalya Dolphinland, the ancient city of Perge and large shopping centres. This page explains how to reach them by private car.
Before you go
Opening times, show schedules and even the operation of individual attractions can change between seasons. Please check the current programme and ticket information directly with the venue before you plan your trip. Some visitors also choose not to visit animal shows for welfare reasons; Perge and the Düden waterfalls are popular alternatives nearby.
Getting there
Attractions in the Aksu and Lara area are close to Antalya Airport and to the Lara hotels – typically 10 to 25 minutes. From Belek they are about half an hour; from Kemer or Side around an hour. Journeys from your hotel are priced by distance – enter the route on the booking form to see the fixed price.
Nearby alternatives
- Perge: a huge Roman city with colonnaded streets, a stadium and baths, only a few minutes from the airport.
- Upper Düden waterfall: a shaded park with paths behind the falls, about 13 km from the airport.
- Lower Düden waterfall: where the river drops into the sea from the cliffs near Lara.
- Shopping: large malls in Lara and the city centre.
Combining a half day
Because these attractions are close to the airport and to Lara, they fit easily into half a day: Perge in the cool of the morning, then the Upper Düden waterfall for shade and lunch, back at the hotel by early afternoon.
With children
Child seats are free on request. A Mercedes Vito carries up to 6 passengers. Book the outward leg and choose “Return” for the way back at your chosen time.
From the airport
If you are staying in Lara, Kundu or the city, the fare from Antalya Airport is €35 per vehicle; see Lara Beach airport transfer.
