Antalya Airport → Elegance East Hotel Transfer

Elegance East Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

On departure day the hotel's position on the avenue keeps things simple: the car pulls up outside the entrance at the agreed time, and nobody has to drag luggage through cobbled lanes to find it. What needs a little planning is the stop itself, since Atatürk Caddesi carries city traffic all day and a vehicle cannot stand there for long. Have the bags down in the lobby and the bill settled before the pickup time, and the loading takes a minute rather than ten.

From the avenue the route back reverses the arrival, east through the city on the boulevards that lead out to the terminals: 16 km and about 20 minutes when the streets are clear. Weekday rush hours are what stretch it, the morning commute as much as the late-afternoon return, and a pickup falling in either window deserves a margin. Give the flight number when you book; it tells the driver which terminal building to head for.

• With an evening flight, the old town makes an easy last afternoon on foot; ask reception to keep the cases and set the pickup for the hotel door.
• Write the pickup address as Atatürk Caddesi 42 rather than just Kaleiçi, a word that covers a whole quarter of narrow lanes where traffic is restricted.
• Because the fare is agreed per vehicle in advance, a slow rush-hour run along the boulevards costs time only.
