Antalya Airport → Botanik Hotel & Resort Transfer

Botanik Hotel & Resort to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Departure begins with a short detour. The hotel drive feeds back onto the eastbound lanes only, so the car first heads away from Antalya for a couple of hundred metres to the traffic lights at the next junction, swings across the central reservation there and only then points west. From that moment it is the arrival played backwards: the Alara bridge, the beach villages, the stop-start main street of Manavgat and the open farmland of Serik and Aksu, 92 km in total and about 80 minutes when traffic is moving normally.

Because both Botanik hotels check out at the Platinum reception, that is also where the car collects you, even if your room is in one of the Hotel & Resort buildings; allow for the walk over with the luggage and bring the bags down a little before the agreed hour. Build the pickup hour backwards from the flight: the 80-minute drive, the check-in window your airline sets, and a cushion for Manavgat, whose junctions and lights are the slowest part of the road from late morning into the evening.

• In the pickup field write Botanik Hotel & Resort, Platinum reception: the hotel name identifies the booking, the desk tells the driver where to stop.
• An evening flight after a morning checkout leaves a gap; set the car's time from the flight rather than from the room, and ask reception on arrival how cases are kept in between.
• Any stop on the way to the airport, such as a parcel to collect in Manavgat, should be named when you book so the timing allows for it.
