Antalya Airport → Alaiye Kleopatra Hotel Transfer

Alaiye Kleopatra Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

A departure from a town address begins on a working street. Before six the avenue is quiet and the car can stand outside for a minute or two; from mid-morning buses and delivery vans share it and the stop has to be short. Heading out, the car turns west at once, away from the centre, and runs through Konaklı, Türkler and Avsallar onto the open coast. The 125 km to the terminal take about 105 minutes, and the only place that slows them reliably is Manavgat with its junctions and lights.

With an evening flight, staying in town works in your favour: the last afternoon can go on Cleopatra Beach, a few minutes away, with time for a shower before the car arrives, as long as reception has agreed where the cases wait after checkout. An early flight is the other way round. An hour and three quarters of road plus the airline's check-in window puts the pickup well before dawn, so tell the desk the night before that you will be leaving in the dark.

• Give the pickup as Alaiye Kleopatra, Atatürk Caddesi 150, Saray: at night the hotel signs along this avenue are easy to mix up.
• To keep the beach until the last hour, ask reception where luggage can stay after checkout and book the car for when you will really be ready.
• Look at the airport code before booking the return; Gazipaşa is the closer airport to Alanya, and a GZP ticket means a different, shorter transfer from this one.
