Antalya Airport → Antique Roman Palace Transfer

Antique Roman Palace to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

On the way out the town comes at the start of the journey instead of the end. First the car makes its way from the seafront road back up to the highway; after that comes the whole width of Alanya, past the centre and the castle hill, junction after junction, before the D400 loosens up beyond Konaklı. At dawn that town section moves freely. From mid-morning, with buses, scooters and shoppers at every light, it is where most of the spare minutes disappear.

Count back from the flight: 110 minutes for the 132 km, then the check-in time your airline asks for, and a margin for Alanya's traffic if you set off after breakfast. Have the cases down in the lobby at the agreed hour; the driver comes inside and asks for you by name, which saves standing with luggage beside a busy road. One check before anything else: Antalya and Gazipaşa lie in opposite directions from Oba, so the airport code on the ticket decides which way the car turns.

• If you are flying home from Gazipaşa rather than Antalya, say so when you book: it is the short run east, not the long one west.
• With a late flight the beach is still 20 metres away, so keep swimwear and a change of clothes out of the cases you close in the morning.
• The price is set per vehicle when you book, so Alanya's mid-morning traffic changes only the pickup time you choose, never the cost.
