Antalya Airport → Alexia Resort & Spa Hotel Transfer

Alexia Resort & Spa Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving Side means running the arrival backwards: Özal Caddesi, up İnönü Bulvarı, along Süleyman Demirel Bulvarı and Sahil Caddesi through Kumköy, then up to the traffic lights on the D400. Those town streets decide how the morning goes. In the small hours they are deserted and the car reaches the highway in a few minutes; on a summer evening, when restaurants fill and coaches head for the old town, the same boulevards move at walking pace. From those lights it is open dual carriageway west past Serik and Aksu, and the 60 minutes quoted for the 65 km are realistic except on the heaviest changeover weekends.

The hotel stands on an ordinary street rather than at the end of a private drive, so the car pulls up at the kerb outside the entrance, and in the dark one hotel front on these streets looks much like the next. Bring the bags down to the lobby before the agreed time, so that the driver can load and leave without blocking a narrow town street. Guests here travel as couples or groups of friends rather than as large families, but tell us how many cases and whether there are golf clubs or diving gear, because two people with four suitcases already need more than a small saloon.

• Agree the pickup hour when you book: sixty minutes on the road, the screening at the terminal door, and the check-in deadline your airline sets, which for a summer flight abroad often adds up to about three hours.
• For an evening flight, ask reception whether a changing room or a luggage store is available after check-out, and book the car for later in the day rather than leaving at noon.
• However long the queue on Side's boulevards, the amount you pay was settled when you booked, because the fare covers the car rather than the time on the road.
