Antalya Airport → Kolibri Hotel Transfer

Kolibri Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Heading back, the first job is to get onto the westbound carriageway, and the Avsallar junction right beside the hotel deals with that in a minute or two. From there the 103 km unwind in reverse: İncekum and Okurcalar, then Manavgat, Serik and Aksu to the airport turn. The stretch that varies most is the Manavgat section, where the highway carries the town's own traffic and a series of lit junctions; at five in the morning it is clear and 85 minutes are comfortable, whereas on a July late morning it pays to allow more.

Avsallar is a busy little centre in the evening and silent before dawn, and since the hotel's entrance is on İskele Caddesi beside the junction, the car can draw up close to the door. Still, put the full name and the street on the booking: Kolibri alone could just as easily send a driver to Payallar, the better part of a quarter of an hour further along the coast in the wrong direction. Settle any extras the night before if the pickup is early, so that the morning is only a matter of carrying the cases out.

• Work the pickup time back from your flight: 85 minutes of road plus the airline's check-in time, and fix it when you book the arrival.
• If your flight time changes after booking, tell us as soon as the airline does, and the pickup hour is moved to match.
• A family coming home from a beach holiday usually carries more than it brought, so give us the final number of cases and any pushchair a day ahead.
