Antalya Airport → Golden Lotus Hotel Transfer

Golden Lotus Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving a waterfront address in the middle of Kemer is mostly a question of the first few minutes. The car is called to Deniz Caddesi, in front of the hotel, and from there it threads back through the centre to the D400 before the real journey starts. Before six in the morning those streets are empty and the climb out of town is quick; on a summer afternoon, with delivery vans and people heading for the beach, the same short stretch can drag. Count back from your airline's check-in time, add the 55 minutes of road plus a margin for the town, and give that hour when you book.

Heading north, the highway runs back past Göynük and Beldibi and through the tunnels, the sea now on your right, before dropping into Konyaaltı, where the coast road meets the city and the bypass to the terminal. That end is the part that varies; the mountain section seldom does. The 61 km are the same distance as on the way in, and outside the busy hours they still fit into roughly 55 minutes. Keep the pickup time in your phone as well as with reception, since the car arrives at the hour written on the booking.

• A last swim off the pier is tempting before a late flight; pack the night before and leave a dry change of clothes on top of the case so the morning is not spent searching for it.
• If carpets, ceramics or anything bulky has been bought in town, tell us the bag count ahead of the day, because the vehicle size is fixed when the departure is booked.
• For a pre-dawn flight, ask reception the evening before whether a packed breakfast can be arranged; the cafés along the front will still be closed when the car comes.
