About Alanya
Alanya sits at the far eastern end of Antalya province, roughly 125 km from the airport along the coastal highway. It is a large, self-contained resort town built around an expansive Mediterranean shoreline, with a medieval Seljuk castle on its clifftop headland, the landmark Red Tower (Kızıl Kule) on the harbour, and Damlataş Cave beneath the rock. The district draws a wide mix of international package holidaymakers, families and a substantial long-term expatriate community. Accommodation is dominated by coastal all-inclusive resorts, large holiday complexes and residential apartment blocks that stretch for kilometres along the eastern shore. Compared with the walkable historic core of Kaleiçi or the beach-and-mountains balance of Kemer, Alanya functions as a distant, high-volume resort city in its own right.

Journey Details & FAQs
How much luggage can I bring?
Standard sedans fit 1–4 suitcases; larger groups or extra luggage should choose a Vito or Sprinter.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, so your driver adjusts pickup time automatically at no extra charge.
Can I combine a transfer with a tour?
Yes — many travellers book an airport transfer to their hotel first, then a separate private tour once settled in.
Which airport should I fly into for Alanya?
Fly into Antalya Airport (AYT). Alanya is at the far eastern end of Antalya province. Antalya Airport is the main gateway; Gazipaşa Airport is closer but has far fewer flights.
How far is Alanya from the airport?
Alanya is about 125 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours by private transfer, depending on traffic and your exact address.
Do I need a car once I'm in Alanya?
Alanya is a large town spread along the coast. The castle, Red Tower and beaches are some distance apart, so plan local transport if you're not staying centrally. A private airport transfer covers the arrival leg door-to-door; local trips are separate.
Are private transfers available for late-night or early-morning flights?
Yes. Transfers to Alanya run 24/7, the driver tracks your flight, and pickup time adjusts automatically if you land early or late.
Is the transfer price fixed, or is it metered?
The price for the Antalya Airport (AYT) to Alanya transfer is fixed at the time of booking. It does not change with traffic, route or waiting time, and there is no meter.
Can one transfer carry a family with luggage to Alanya?
Yes. A standard car takes up to 3 passengers with a few suitcases; for larger groups, golf bags or extra luggage, a VIP van or minibus is booked instead — one fixed price for the vehicle.
