Antalya Airport → Magic Sun Hotel Transfer

Magic Sun Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Checkout at Magic Sun is at noon, per its tour-operator listing, and that hour shapes most departures more than the drive. With a flight in the evening the room is usually gone hours before the car is needed, so ask at reception about leaving the luggage and a late shower, or simply book the pickup for the middle of the day and spend the spare time at the terminal side. The road itself is short: 45 km, about 45 minutes from the old road back to the airport.

Leaving Beldibi, the car climbs from Eski Kemer Yolu back onto the D400 and almost at once reaches the tunnels, which are the only part of the run where nothing can be made up. Beyond them the road drops into Konyaaltı, and that is where a midday or afternoon departure loses time, behind beach traffic, buses and the lights along the shore boulevard. Early in the morning it all flows. A family with a midday flight is usually better off leaving a little earlier than the clock suggests than arriving at the check-in queue in its busiest hour.

• Pickup timing starts from the flight: 45 minutes of driving, the check-in margin your airline asks for, then a quarter of an hour extra if the car will be crossing Konyaaltı after lunch.
• Have the cases brought down to the front of the hotel before the agreed hour, so loading happens on the old road and not on the beach side across the traffic.
• If the pickup is set for a date or time different from what the hotel expects, tell reception too, so the room and the bill are settled before the car arrives.
