Antalya Airport → Senza Grand Santana Transfer

Senza Grand Santana to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Going home from Mahmutlar is the arrival run backwards, and the part to plan around comes early. Soon after leaving the hotel the car reaches Alanya, where the highway threads between the town's quarters and traffic lights, school runs and delivery vans set the pace from about seven onwards. Before dawn that stretch is empty and the whole 139 km flows; later in the morning it can take noticeably longer than the map suggests, so the Alanya crossing is the piece a pickup time should be built around.

Count backwards from the flight: the check-in time your airline gives, then 115 minutes of driving, then a margin for Alanya and for Manavgat on summer changeover days. A morning flight from Antalya therefore means a pickup in the small hours, and it is worth telling reception the evening before so the bill is settled and the luggage is down at the hour you chose. Name the hotel as Senza Grand Santana in Mahmutlar on the booking; the other three Senza hotels lie on the way to the airport, and a driver should never have to guess between them.

• A pickup in the small hours is easier on children whose seats are already fitted, so ask for them on the departure booking and not only on the arrival.
• Friends staying at another address in Mahmutlar on the same flight can ride in the same car; give both addresses when you book so the order of stops is planned.
• Whatever the traffic in Alanya that morning, the amount agreed for the car at booking is the amount you pay.
