About Side
Side is an ancient coastal peninsula town in the Manavgat district, about 65–75 km east of the airport. Its pedestrianised old town sits among Greco-Roman ruins — a 2nd-century Roman theatre, the Nymphaeum, and the seaside Temple of Apollo on the headland — so visitors can walk straight from a beachfront hotel into a working archaeological site. Around this historic core, golden-sand beach zones at Kumköy, Çolaklı and Titreyengöl are lined with large all-inclusive family resorts and spa hotels. Side differs from Belek, a modern golf and luxury corridor with no historic centre, and from Kemer, where the mountains meet pebble coves: it offers flat, sandy beaches backed by a genuinely inhabited ancient town.

Journey Details & FAQs
How much luggage can I bring?
Capacity depends on the vehicle category. Enter your passengers and luggage when you book and choose from the Vito and Sprinter options shown.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, and pickup timing may be adjusted to your actual arrival.
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 Side?
Fly into Antalya Airport (AYT). Side's beach zones — Kumköy, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl — sit outside the old town, so the drive from the airport is a little longer to the outer resort areas.
How far is Side from the airport?
Side is about 65–75 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), around 60–80 minutes by private transfer, depending on traffic and your exact address.
Do I need a car once I'm in Side?
Side's old town is pedestrianised and walkable among the ruins; the outer beach zones are a short taxi or resort shuttle from the centre. A private airport transfer covers the arrival leg; local trips are separate.
Are private transfers available for late-night or early-morning flights?
Flight status is monitored for airport pickups, and pickup timing may be adjusted based on your actual arrival time.
