Antalya Airport → Grand Şeker Hotel Transfer

Grand Şeker Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving Evrenseki, the arrival is simply played backwards: the little roundabouts and village streets first, then the kilometre and a half up to the D400. Before six the whole stretch is empty. By mid-morning, hotel minibuses, taxis and the dolmuş stops along the way slow each corner a little, though never for long. Westbound, the highway carries the car back through Gündoğdu and past Serik and Aksu, with signals at the main junctions, and on most days the 59 km to the terminal fit inside the 55 minutes; a crowded summer Saturday may add a few.

Since the hotel sits back from the sea, the departure morning has an extra leg built into it: the 300 metres back from the beach after a last swim, with wet towels and sandy feet. Allow for that walk as well as for checkout. The car pulls up at the hotel's main entrance, so bring the luggage down to the lobby a few minutes ahead of the agreed time. Book in the full name, Grand Şeker Hotel, and add Evrenseki after it, because the village packs a number of hotels into the same few streets and a driver arriving in the dark goes by what the booking says.

• Settle the pickup hour with the booking: take the flight time, subtract your airline's check-in window and the 55-minute drive, and keep a margin in hand on summer weekends.
• Request children's seats for the return leg too, with each child's age, so the right seat is fitted before the car sets out for Evrenseki.
• The price is set per car, not per seat, which is why a family travelling together pays a single fare for the run back to the airport.
