Antalya Airport → AKKA Hotels Antedon Transfer

AKKA Hotels Antedon to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

On the way home Beldibi's position works in your favour: the 45 minutes back are mostly Antalya's boulevards, and the coast road takes up only the first third or so. The car turns out of the gate north along Atatürk Caddesi, rejoins the D400 at the junction it came down by, and follows the cliffs back to Konyaaltı. After that the hour decides the drive. At five in the morning the city is empty and the ring road quick; on a weekday from about half past seven, commuter traffic on the western ring road and Gazi Bulvarı adds minutes that the coast never costs.

Because the drive is short, the usual mistake here is to leave too late, trusting that the hotel is close to the airport. The road is close; the terminal in high season is not quick, and the 45 minutes cover only the road. Work the pickup back from the check-in time your airline gives, not from the departure time on the ticket, and send us any change to the flight as soon as you have it. An afternoon flight still leaves most of the last morning for the beach, as long as the cases are packed before you go down to it.

• If friends at AKKA Residence are on the same plane, one car can collect both parties at the shared address, because the fare is per vehicle rather than per seat — as long as the boot takes everyone's luggage.
• On a morning departure the sun rises over the sea to your right as the car heads north, so keep sunglasses in the hand luggage rather than the suitcase.
• The fare was fixed when you booked and is charged per vehicle, so rush hour through Antalya changes the arrival time at the terminal, not the price.
