Antalya Airport → Rixos Beldibi Transfer

Rixos Beldibi to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving from the Antalya end of the Kemer coast pays off on the last day. The car only has to retrace a few hundred metres of Atatürk Caddesi to the junction before climbing back onto the D400, and from there the 44 km to the terminal run through the tunnels and round Konyaaltı without any village to cross. On a clear road the 45 minutes hold, which means a flight around noon still leaves room for a final breakfast without watching the clock.

The section that can stretch is the approach to Antalya rather than the coast: the Konyaaltı shoreline and the ring road thicken from about eight in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Before dawn they are almost empty. At a resort of this size the front of the hotel also sees coaches and taxis on changeover days, so be at reception with the cases closed a few minutes before the agreed time, and the driver can load and pull away without waiting for a gap.

• Give the pickup point as the main entrance on Atatürk Caddesi, not the beach side, so the driver waits where the cases come out.
• If the room has to be cleared well before an evening flight, ask reception the day before whether the luggage room can hold the cases until the car arrives.
• For a last look at Antalya's old town on the way out, arrange the stop when you book; Kaleiçi lies almost on the route between Beldibi and the terminal.
