Antalya Airport → Mardan Palace Transfer

Mardan Palace to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving from this end of the coast, most of the hotel strip lies between you and the road to the airport. The driver chooses between the boulevard, heading west past one resort entrance after another, and the inland roads behind Kundu according to the traffic at that hour, and the extra distance is why a pickup here is set a little earlier than at the Lara end. Have the cases down and the room settled before the car arrives rather than while it waits: the twenty-one kilometres are seldom the problem, but the first stretch, at the hour when everyone checks out, can be.

At the airport, domestic and international flights leave from separate terminal buildings, so the drop-off point is decided by your flight rather than by the word airport: give the flight number when you book and the car pulls up at the right door first time. None of this arose on the way in, when the driver was already waiting for you inside the hall. Late evening is the easiest time to leave from this address: the boulevard has emptied by then, and the gates along it are quiet.

• Say whether the departure is domestic or international when you arrange the car: the buildings are separate and the driver needs to know before the approach, not on it.
• Set your own pickup time rather than borrowing one from friends staying nearer Lara: from this gate the drive is longer, and on a tight morning those extra minutes count.
• If you are leaving with more than you came with, ask for the larger vehicle when you book the return: at twenty-five minutes the ride is long enough to want the room.
