Antalya Airport → Nirvana Dolce Vita Transfer

Nirvana Dolce Vita to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Because the road ends at the hotel, every departure starts by undoing the end of the arrival: north past the neighbouring resort, along Atatürk Bulvarı through the village and up to the junction, roughly three and a half kilometres before the car is properly under way. Before dawn that is a few empty minutes. On a summer evening, though, the village's shopping street is full of people strolling between the supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, and a car moves along it at their pace, so an evening flight needs those minutes counted into the pickup time rather than discovered on the way.

From the junction, the rest of the 78 km to the terminal is the arrival reversed: Çamyuva, Kemer, Göynük and Beldibi, the tunnels, the descent to Konyaaltı and then the long way round the north of Antalya to an airport on the far side of the city. Seventy minutes is the figure in ordinary traffic, and the stretch that varies most is the urban one rather than the coast. Antalya's busy hours, early in the morning and again in the early evening, fall on that last part of the drive, so a morning or early-evening flight wants a pickup with a margin built in.

• Put the hotel's name on the departure booking, not just Tekirova: the gate is about two kilometres south of the village at the end of its own road, and a car sent to the centre would have to come down to find you.
• On busy summer changeover days the coast road carries transfer coaches in both directions, and a quarter of an hour added to the pickup costs nothing next to a closed check-in desk.
• The return car comes at the hour agreed when you book it; should the airline change your flight, tell us the new departure and the pickup is reset to match.
