Antalya Airport → Transatlantik Hotel & Spa Transfer

Transatlantik Hotel & Spa to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Departure from the middle of Göynük starts with a short climb through the village streets before the coast highway. Before dawn those streets are empty and take a couple of minutes; at nine or ten in the morning they are shared with delivery vans, coaches collecting at neighbouring hotels and guests heading down to the beach. The pickup hour is fixed when you book, against the flight time, so give the flight number then and the hour will take the time of day into account, not just the 52 km.

Once the car is on the highway, the run north mirrors the arrival: Beldibi, the tunnels, then Konyaaltı and the city. The coastal part rarely varies; Antalya is what decides whether the drive keeps to its 50 minutes or stretches, through the ring road and the terminal approach. With an evening flight, ask reception about leaving cases after checkout, then set the pickup late enough to allow a last afternoon on the beach across the road.

• Wait at the main entrance on Atatürk Caddesi at the agreed hour; the beach side across the road is not where the driver will be looking for you.
• Tour-operator listings point out a fair number of steps around the hotel, so anyone with limited mobility or heavy cases should allow a little extra time between the room and the car.
• Wet swimwear and sandals from a last swim travel better in a separate bag kept with you than squeezed into a suitcase in the boot.
