Antalya Airport → Gardenia Beach Hotel Transfer

Gardenia Beach Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

The departure begins with the few hundred metres back up the side street to the D400, where the car joins the traffic heading west. From there it is the same 93 km and roughly 80 minutes in reverse, through Kızılağaç and Kızılot, around Manavgat and on past Serik and Aksu to the terminals. Early pickups find the road nearly empty. Late-morning ones meet the lorries and coaches that use the D400 as the only through route on this coast, and Manavgat is where they bunch up.

Because the hotel sits below the highway rather than on it, the car comes down to the gate and does not wait up on the main road, so look for it at the entrance. Leaving a beach hotel usually means damp swimwear and sandy shoes on the last evening; put them in a separate bag and keep the suitcases closed. Give the full hotel name and Karaburun when you book, since with a second Gardenia on Cleopatra beach a car sent to the wrong one would cost the whole morning.

• Work back from the flight: 80 minutes on the road, plus whatever time the airline asks for at the terminal, with extra slack in July and August.
• Children's seats have to be requested for the return leg too; they are fitted before the car sets off for Karaburun.
• The fare is agreed per car when you book, so extra minutes in the Manavgat traffic do not change what you pay.
