Antalya Airport to Kaleiçi: Getting to Your Old Town Hotel
Kaleiçi, Antalya’s walled old town, is full of boutique hotels in restored Ottoman houses. It is only about 14 km from the airport – but its narrow, mostly pedestrian lanes mean that “door to door” needs a little planning. Here is how the transfer works.
Route and time
From Antalya Airport, the drive takes about 25 minutes in normal traffic, along the D400 and down to the coast road around the old town. Allow longer in the evening rush hour.
Price
€35 per vehicle – a Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases – including 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. There is no night supplement.
Drop-off in the old town
Vehicle access inside Kaleiçi is restricted, and many lanes are too narrow for a van. The driver stops at the nearest point the vehicle can reach – often near Hadrian’s Gate, the Kalekapısı square or the harbour road – and helps you with your luggage. Many boutique hotels send someone to meet guests with a trolley; tell your hotel your arrival time and add its phone number to the booking notes.
Meeting your driver
We follow your flight. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. Child seats are free on request.
In Kaleiçi
Once you have checked in, the old town is best explored on foot: the Roman harbour, the Yivli Minaret, the Hıdırlık Tower and the lanes of shops and cafés. For the sights further out – the Antalya Museum, Düden waterfalls, Konyaaltı beach – see getting around Antalya with a driver.
Departure
For an international flight, leave Kaleiçi about two and a half hours before departure; the driver meets you at the same point where you were dropped off. Choosing “Return” on the booking form adds this journey to the same payment, with a discount on the return leg.
