Antalya Airport → Puding Hotel Transfer

Puding Hotel to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

The departure starts with the hardest few hundred metres of the trip, the way out of the old town's lanes to the boulevard at their edge. Early in the morning that is simple, with the lanes empty apart from delivery vans and street cleaners; in the late afternoon and evening, with the restaurants open and crowds walking down to the water, it is the slow part, and the driver cannot hurry through it. Once outside the walls the car heads east for the D400 and the terminal, and outside the city's rush hours the 17 km fit in the 25 minutes.

Rolling suitcases over Kaleiçi's stone paving is hard going, so let the car come to the hotel rather than dragging the bags out to a gate in the walls. Agree the pickup at the hotel door when you book and have everything ready at reception, because loading in a narrow lane should be quick enough not to block it. If the last afternoon goes on Mermerli or the harbour, remember that the way back up to Mermerli Sokak climbs, and that in summer heat a short climb still calls for a change of shirt before a flight.

• Give both the hotel name and the lane when you confirm the return, since other small hotels share Mermerli Sokak.
• An evening departure meets Kaleiçi at its busiest; set the pickup a little earlier to cover the first stretch through the lanes.
• Whatever the lanes do, the price stays as booked: it belongs to the vehicle and is agreed in advance.
