Antalya Airport → Atıcı Hotel Kaleiçi Transfer

Atıcı Hotel Kaleiçi to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

For the departure, where the car waits matters more than when. A vehicle cannot stand idling in the lanes around Kocatepe Sokak, so the usual meeting point is Atatürk Caddesi beside Hadrian's Gate, a couple of minutes on foot from the hotel door. Agree that spot when you book and be there with the luggage at the arranged time. Rolling a suitcase over old paving is slower than the distance suggests, so leave the room a little before it seems necessary.

The run itself is short: 16 km, about 20 minutes once the car is moving. It is city driving from start to finish, though, so the hour decides the clock. Weekday mornings around eight and the early-evening rush fill the boulevards towards the airport, and a pickup in either window deserves some slack. Before dawn the avenues are empty and the 20 minutes is comfortable. International and domestic flights leave from different terminals, so tell the driver which one is yours.

• Write Hadrian's Gate as the meeting point in the booking note; on this side of the old town it is the landmark every driver recognises.
• If you leave before the old-town cafés open, buy something for breakfast the evening before, since the hotel serves rooms only.
• Kaleiçi's lanes look alike in the dark, so walk the way from the hotel to the gate once the day before and the early start with luggage holds no wrong turns.
