Antalya Airport → Justiniano Deluxe Resort Transfer

Justiniano Deluxe Resort to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

The eighty minutes on the road are not what makes this departure awkward; the start is. An early flight puts the car on the service road at an hour when all five gates look identical, none of the signs are lit and there is nobody outside to ask. Decide with the desk which entrance you will be standing at, put that same word on the booking, and if you were moved to another building during the stay, say so: out here the gate matters more than the hotel name does.

Heading west the traffic pattern turns inside out. On the way in you met the Side and Manavgat junctions from the Antalya side; going home you come at them from the east, and in the morning that is the direction everyone else is travelling too, with the market minibuses, the service vans and the day's excursions all on the road. Between seven and nine those two junctions can cost a quarter of an hour between them. A car that leaves before six, by contrast, has open highway the whole way and keeps the eighty minutes whole.

• Put the gate number on the return booking and not only the name, because after dark the five entrances read the same from the road.
• If a neighbour along the service road is on your flight, one vehicle can take in both gates, but that has to be agreed when you book rather than at the barrier.
• Luggage grows on this coast: a box of ceramics or a rug from the bazaar changes the size of car you need, so mention it in advance instead of finding out at the boot.
