Antalya Airport → Blue Star Hotel Transfer

Blue Star Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving Blue Star means leaving from a side street in a busy town quarter. The car comes to the door on 1515 Sokak, but the space in front is a street rather than a forecourt, so be downstairs with the cases when it pulls up. The larger timing question is the turn west: the hotel is beside the eastbound lanes of the D400, and the car has to cross to the airport-bound side at one of the town's junctions, which is quick before dawn and noticeably slower once the town's working day has begun.

Once across, the 125 km to Antalya is one road, and the 105 minutes hold if you keep clear of the middle of the day in Manavgat, where the D400 turns into a town street with lights at every junction. Work backwards from the flight: the drive, the time your airline wants you at check-in, and a margin on top. A car at three or four in the morning is normal on this run for an early departure, so tell the desk the night before, so that whoever is on duty knows a car is coming and the luggage can be brought down.

• If friends from the same flight are at Belle Ocean Apart Hotel, about 600 metres west and nearer the beach, one car can call at both doors; give both addresses when you book.
• Gazipaşa-Alanya, east of town, needs a separate booking; this return runs west to Antalya (AYT), so match the airport code on your ticket before you book.
• Put a phone number that works abroad on the booking, so the driver can reach you if a delivery van has the side street blocked.
