Antalya Airport → Throne Beach Resort & Spa Transfer

Throne Beach Resort & Spa to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Departure is where this hotel's awkward arrival pays you back. The gate lets out onto the westbound carriageway, which is the airport direction, so the car pulls out and is on its way at once, with no turning back through the central reservation. The first 22 km run to Manavgat, where the D400 becomes a town road with traffic lights and the river bridge; after that it is Serik, the Belek turnings and Aksu. The 80 minutes holds on a clear road, which at this distance usually means leaving while it is still dark for a morning flight.

The underpass shapes the last morning more than the road does. A final swim means the walk down, the crossing beneath the highway and the same walk back before the cases can close, which together take longer than guests expect. If the pickup is early, the swim belongs to the evening before. Agree the pickup hour when you book, working back from the check-in time your airline gives, and have the bags at reception a few minutes early, since the car comes to the gate on the inland side and loads there.

• Stand inside the gate, not on the hard shoulder of the D400; the driver turns in from the westbound lane and stops at the entrance.
• Keep a separate bag for wet swimwear if you go to the beach on the last day; the walk back through the underpass leaves little time for drying.
• If your flight moves, send the new time with your booking reference: from this far out, a late change matters more than it would closer to the airport.
