Antalya Airport → Algora Hotel Alanya Transfer

Algora Hotel Alanya to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

On the way out the first question is direction. The hotel sits on the seaward side of a divided highway and the airport lies to the west, so before the long run can begin the car has to reach the westbound carriageway on the far side of the central barrier. In the small hours that is a minute or two at the nearest junction; in Konaklı's late-morning traffic it is a little more. Then the coast unrolls in reverse, Avsallar, Okurcalar, Manavgat, Serik and Aksu, and the 116 km come to about 95 minutes on an ordinary day.

Ninety-five minutes of road plus the check-in time your airline asks for turns an early flight into a very early start. The car pulls up at the entrance on Kulak Caddesi, and in the dark the stadium and the go-kart track beside the hotel are the clearest markers on the block. The sea is a walk of several minutes from the rooms, so a final swim on departure morning needs to finish well before the pickup if there is to be time to shower and close the cases.

• Work the pickup out at booking by counting back from the flight: 95 minutes of road first, then check-in and security at Antalya.
• Return any beach towels or sunbed cards the evening before; the shore is far enough from the rooms that a forgotten one means a walk you will not have time for.
• Mention the number of suitcases as well as passengers when you arrange the return, since shopping from Alanya tends to add a bag or two by the end of a stay.
