Antalya Airport to Antalya City: the complete transfer guide
Antalya Airport to the city centre: 13 km, 20 minutes, from €20
Antalya's city centre sits just 13 km from the airport, about 20 minutes by car on the ring road. Unlike the beach-resort transfers, this one serves the old town of Kaleici, the marina, the modern shopping and business districts and the cruise port. The price is fixed at €20 from booking, with no meter.
Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name board and drives you straight into the city. For Kaleici, which is largely pedestrianised, you are dropped at the nearest vehicle access point and helped with the bags from there.

The drive from the airport into Antalya
From the terminal you join the ring road and are in the city within about 20 minutes. Traffic is heavier here than on the resort runs, especially at rush hour, but the fixed price absorbs any delay so you never watch a meter climb.
The route passes the modern eastern districts before reaching the centre; for Kaleici and the marina it continues to the far, seaward side of the city.
Kaleici old town and the marina
Kaleici is the historic heart of Antalya, a walled old town of Ottoman houses, boutique hotels, craft shops and restaurants tumbling down to the old harbour and marina. Hadrian's Gate, the fluted minaret and the clock tower are all here.
Most of Kaleici is closed to traffic, which is part of its charm, so transfers drop at the edge near Hadrian's Gate or the marina. From there it is a short, flat walk to most of the boutique hotels.
Who this transfer suits
This is the transfer for a city break rather than a beach holiday: culture, dining, shopping and the old town rather than an all-inclusive resort. It also serves business travellers heading to the central and Lara-district hotels, and cruise passengers connecting to the Antalya cruise port.
If your plans mix the city with a resort, we can run any combination at fixed prices agreed in advance.
Things to do from the centre
Staying central puts the best of Antalya on your doorstep: the old harbour boat trips, the Antalya Museum, Konyaalti and Lara beaches at either end of the bay, the cable car up to Tunektepe, and day trips to the Duden Waterfalls and the ancient cities of Perge and Aspendos.
We can arrange any of these as a fixed-price excursion with a driver who waits, so you are not hailing taxis in an unfamiliar city.
Your vehicle and transparent pricing
The standard vehicle is a clean, air-conditioned economy van for up to six with luggage. A Mercedes V-Class is available for more space or a larger group.
The price starts at €20 and is fixed at booking, with no meter, no night surcharge and no per-bag fee. Pay the driver in cash or by card.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Economy van | Up to 6 | Couples, families, business travellers |
| Mercedes V-Class | Up to 6, more room | Extra luggage, premium comfort |

Practical tips and why to book ahead
A few things make the city transfer smoother: for a Kaleici hotel the drop is at the nearest vehicle access point rather than the door, and you should allow extra time for the return at rush hour. Into a real city rather than a resort strip, a pre-booked transfer means a named driver who knows the one-way streets and access points, a fixed fare, and no negotiation after a long flight.
- Kaleici hotel drops are at the nearest vehicle access point
- Allow extra return time at rush hour; city traffic is heavier
- Ask about airport-to-cruise-port timing if connecting to a ship
- Same €20 whenever you book, so there is no reason to use the rank
