Antalya Airport → Deniz Hotel Transfer

Deniz Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Heading home means crossing the city in the other direction, and the hour you leave counts for more than the 24 km do. At first light the D400 is open and the run to the terminals takes the 30 minutes it needs; on weekdays between about seven and ten, commuters are heading east alongside you, and the large junctions on the northern side of Antalya hold everything up. Late afternoon brings a rush of its own. So work the pickup time backwards from the flight with those windows in mind, not from the map distance alone.

At the hotel end the car collects you from the street by the door on 306 Sokak, where it can stop briefly to load but not linger. If the room has to be given up hours before an evening flight, the beach and the promenade are close, and the afternoon passes easily by the water; just keep enough time to fetch the bags and change into travelling clothes before the agreed hour. When you book, give the number of cases along with any bulky items, so that the vehicle sent is the right size.

• Before dawn, repeat the street and number to the driver rather than just 'Deniz' — on a seafront full of hotels the word alone says very little.
• From Konyaaltı on a weekday morning, an earlier pickup through the commute is easier on the nerves than a late one, and the fare is the same either way.
• Bulky items — a pushchair, a board bag, a folding wheelchair — are worth naming at booking so the car is sized for them.
