Antalya Airport → Mirage Park Resort Transfer

Mirage Park Resort to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Going the other way the clock runs backwards from your flight rather than forwards from the landing. In July and August the desks at Antalya are busy and the queue for security is the part nobody can shorten, so most people settle on about three hours at the terminal and add the fifty minutes of road to that. Winter is gentler and two hours is usually enough. Whichever total you land on, set the pickup against it rather than against the departure time printed on the ticket, and remember that the cases weigh more going home than they did coming out.

The lane out of the village is the part that differs. On a changeover morning the operator minibuses work their way from one gate to the next at the same hour your own car is trying to reach the D400. Once on the highway it is straightforward: the tunnels follow one another northwards with the mountain on your right. The slow section comes at the end, where the coast road feeds into the Antalya ring and the airport approach, and between eight and ten, and again towards evening, that is city traffic rather than holiday traffic.

• Tell reception the evening before that a car is coming, because the narrow lane outside is easier to hold for two minutes than for ten.
• The drop-off is on the departures level of whichever terminal your airline uses, so put the flight number on the booking and not just the name of the carrier.
• The price is fixed per vehicle when you book, so a queue on the ring road costs you time but not money.
