Antalya Airport → Melas Resort Hotel Transfer

Melas Resort Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Departure starts with the climb from the shore back through Kumköy to the D400 junction, where the car turns west. That junction serves most of the quarter, so it is busiest when the coaches of several hotels set off together, usually through the late morning. Before sunrise the same few minutes pass with hardly a car around. After that the 64 km back to the terminal follow the arrival road in reverse, past Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Serik and Aksu, and the 60 minutes are realistic whenever the highway runs freely.

Having the beach at the end of the garden tempts guests into one last swim on the final morning, and it can be done if the timing is honest. Leave enough margin to rinse off the salt, dry the swimwear or bag it separately, and be in the lobby with the cases a little before the agreed hour, since the car comes at that time and the drive back leaves no room to make up a slow start. Sand in shoes and towels also tends to end up in the boot, so pack beach things last and on top.

• Check that the departure booking reads Melas Resort Hotel in full; a note saying only Melas could send the car to Club Melas Privé, a separate hotel right next door.
• For a pickup in the dark, ask reception the evening before whether an early breakfast box can be prepared, as the restaurant may not be open yet.
• The fare is fixed per car when you book, so a slow wait at the Kumköy junction costs time on the clock and nothing on the bill.
