Antalya Airport → Rixos Downtown Antalya Transfer

Rixos Downtown Antalya to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Leaving from a city address is a different exercise from leaving a resort. There is no gate, no grounds and no lay-by: Sakıp Sabancı Bulvarı carries traffic straight past the door, and the cliff-top streets around the park run one way, so a car that arrives early cannot loiter at the kerb or circle the block for nothing. The workable version is to be out on the pavement with everything at the agreed minute, load in a single movement and let the car rejoin the traffic. Doors, boot, away — a minute and a half at the outside.

After that, the whole of Antalya stands between you and the airport. Twenty-one kilometres, twenty-five minutes when the roads are clear, but the route crosses from the western cliff through the middle of the city to its eastern edge, over tram lines and a long series of light-controlled junctions. Between eight and ten in the morning the city is travelling in your direction and the same twenty-one kilometres take half as long again. Early afternoon and late evening are the easy windows; the climb to the departures level at the end is the same at any hour.

• Be on the pavement with the whole party and all the luggage before the pickup time — there is nowhere here for a car to wait while a case is fetched.
• When something is on in the Kültür Parkı next door, lanes on this boulevard go with it, so allow for that when you set the hour.
• Say which side of the boulevard your entrance is on when you confirm: turning back here means a circuit of one-way streets, not a U-turn.
