Antalya Airport → Akra Hotel Antalya Transfer

Akra Hotel Antalya to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Sixteen kilometres is the longest of these city runs, and it starts on Lara Caddesi with the traffic still moving behind the car. There is no forecourt to gather in: the driver stops on the boulevard, the boot comes up and the cases go in while a lane waits. That works well when the party is already on the pavement with everything closed and counted, and badly when somebody is still upstairs looking for a charger. Come down together, do the counting on the pavement, and the loading is over in a minute.

Then the car runs east along the cliff and turns inland for the airport road — the direction the whole city takes between eight and ten in the morning. That is the part to respect. Sixteen kilometres that pass in twenty minutes at two in the afternoon can take thirty-five at nine, and there is no way round it, because the airport lies beyond the far side of Antalya. Later the pattern reverses: the evening flow comes back into Şirinyalı while you are leaving it, and the outbound lanes are the clear ones.

• A flight before eleven means crossing the city at its worst hour, so count on more than twenty minutes and move the pickup back accordingly.
• Ask for the car on the hotel side of Lara Caddesi: crossing a cliff-top through road with cases is not part of anyone's plan.
• The price agreed at booking is per vehicle for the journey, so give the number of passengers and cases rather than the number of rooms.
