Antalya Airport → Nun Hotel Lara Transfer

Nun Hotel Lara to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

With the airport this close, the departure is easy to over-plan. The drive is 16 km, about 20 minutes in normal traffic, and the first part is the side streets back out to Barınaklar Bulvarı, which are quiet at any hour before the working day begins. What decides the pickup time is the terminal rather than the road: in summer the queues at Antalya's international check-in and security can outlast the drive itself, so count back from the time your airline asks you to be there, not from the distance.

The one thing that stretches the run is the weekday commute. Between about half past seven and nine, the boulevards from Lara towards the airport junctions usually carry the traffic of the city's eastern suburbs, and a pickup in that window deserves an extra quarter of an hour. Late at night and before dawn the same roads are close to empty. If you check out at midday and fly in the evening, the short distance also means you can spend the afternoon out and come back for the bags, instead of waiting at the airport.

• Say whether you fly domestic or international when you book the return; the car drops you at a different terminal building for each.
• Be at the door on 2051 Sokak at the agreed time, since a car standing in a side street soon holds up whoever is behind it.
• The fare is set per vehicle when you book, so a slow morning on the boulevards can add minutes to the 20 but nothing to the bill.
