Antalya Airport → Ananas Hotel Transfer

Ananas Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving, the whole of Alanya stands between you and the open road. The car first covers the half kilometre inland to Keykubat Bulvarı and then has to cross the town westwards, junction after junction, before the D400 opens out again beyond Konaklı. In the small hours the lights are empty and that part goes quickly; on a summer morning, with delivery traffic and buses, it can be noticeably slower. The rest is the coast road you came in on, through Avsallar, Manavgat, Serik and Aksu, and the full 130 km come to about 110 minutes when the town is quiet.

Being in town pays off on the last day. Shops, the beach and the bus are all on the doorstep, so the hours after checkout can be spent nearby rather than in the lobby, and the car finds the hotel easily by the stadium and the bus stop that carries its name. What needs planning is the clock: this is a long transfer, so an early flight means a pickup in the middle of the night, and it is worth confirming with reception the evening before that someone will be at the desk.

• Give the clock room: 110 minutes of driving, including the crossing of Alanya, come before the check-in time your airline asks for.
• A late-afternoon departure meets the town at its busiest, when Keykubat Bulvarı can fill with traffic, so leave a margin on top of the usual time.
• Name both the hotel and the Cumhuriyet quarter on the return booking; Alanya has many town hotels whose entrances look alike in the dark.
