Antalya Airport → Sidemarin Kirman Premium Transfer

Sidemarin Kirman Premium to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Heading back, the car simply drives north out of Kumköy to its junction with the D400 and turns west there, with no need to go near the Side road. Before dawn these streets are empty. On a summer changeover morning, though, tour coaches stop at one hotel gate after another along the strip, and a coach loading cases can close a narrow street for several minutes at a time. Once the car is on the highway, the 62 km past Serik and Aksu are steady going, and outside the busiest summer hours the 55 minutes hold well.

An afternoon flight leaves room for a last swim off the pier, provided the luggage is already packed and waiting by the main entrance rather than in the room. Damp swimwear is the usual problem: a spare plastic bag in the hand luggage solves it. Work backwards from the flight when you fix the pickup hour, adding the 55 minutes of road to the time your airline asks you to be at the terminal.

• Say Sidemarin, not just Kirman, when you confirm the return; a car sent to Okurcalar by mistake would be heading the wrong way from the start.
• Settle the room bill and any extras the night before an early flight, so that leaving at dawn is just handing in the key card.
• If your flight time changes, send the new time as soon as the airline tells you; a pickup hour is far easier to move the day before than at the gate.
