Antalya Airport to Kaş: the complete transfer guide
Antalya Airport to Kaş Transfer: 195 km Along the Lycian Coast
Kaş sits 195 km southwest of Antalya Airport (AYT), and the drive takes about 3 hours (180 minutes) along the D400 coastal highway. This is the longest and most scenic of the airport's regular transfer routes, tracing the Lycian shoreline through Finike and Demre with the Mediterranean in view for most of the journey. A private door-to-door transfer in a Mercedes business van starts at €150.
There is no fast inland shortcut to Kaş. The road hugs the coast, climbing over headlands and dropping back to sea level through fishing towns and greenhouse plains, so the 3-hour figure is realistic in normal traffic rather than an optimistic estimate. Public buses cover the same distance but require a change in the Antalya city bus terminal and stop repeatedly along the way, stretching the trip past four hours.
We fix your price at the moment you book. There is no meter, no surge pricing on the long coastal legs, and no surcharge if the flight lands late at night. Your driver tracks the flight, waits at arrivals with a name board, and the fare covers the full 195 km whether the road is clear or slowed by summer beach traffic near Kaputaş.
How Long Is the Drive from AYT to Kaş, and Why
The 180-minute duration reflects the terrain, not congestion. From the airport you skirt Antalya on the ring road, pass Konyaaltı and the Beydağları foothills, then join the D400 as it turns genuinely coastal near Kemer and Olympos. West of Finike the road narrows and winds, and the final approach to Kaş descends a long series of curves toward the harbor.
Two natural pauses shape the trip. Demre, roughly two-thirds of the way, is the practical mid-point for a stretch or a coffee. From there it is about 45 minutes and 45 km on to Kaş, past Kaputaş Beach where the road bridges a gorge above a turquoise cove.
In peak summer, the single-lane sections between Kalkan and Kaş can slow behind tour coaches. Because your price is fixed at booking, that extra time never changes what you pay — a real advantage over a metered taxi on a route this long.
Fixed Transfer Price: What €150 Covers
The starting fare of €150 is for a private BUSINESS_VAN carrying your group point to point, from the AYT arrivals hall to your exact address in Kaş or the surrounding bays. It is agreed at booking and does not move with traffic, fuel, or arrival hour.
The price includes flight tracking, meet and greet with a name board, all tolls and fuel across the 195 km, and free child seats on request. There is no separate airport pickup fee and no charge for the driver's waiting time within the standard free window. You pay the driver in cash (euro, pound, or lira) or by card — whatever suits you on the day.
Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pickup, so booking early to lock the price carries no risk. If your plans change, you are not tied to the reservation.

The Business Van: Right Vehicle for a 3-Hour Coastal Drive
On a 195 km transfer, the vehicle matters more than on a short hotel run. The Mercedes business van is built for exactly this: high roof, individual seats, generous air conditioning, and a luggage bay that swallows large cases, dive bags, and duffels without stacking them on laps.
Groups of families and friends travel Kaş-bound together, often with diving or hiking kit for the Lycian Way. The van seats the group and the gear in one vehicle, so there is no splitting across cars or paying twice. Space to stretch out matters when the road is winding for three hours.
For solo travellers and couples who prefer a smaller car, the same fixed-price, meet-and-greet service applies — just tell us your group size when booking and we assign the right vehicle.
| Vehicle | Best for | Luggage |
|---|---|---|
| Business van | Families, groups, divers, hikers | Large — cases + sports gear |
| Sedan / smaller car | Solo & couples | Standard suitcases |
Meet & Greet at Antalya Airport Arrivals
After a long flight into AYT, the last thing you want is to hunt for a driver. Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name board with your name, so pickup is simple even at 2 a.m. when the terminal is quiet.
We monitor your flight in real time. If it lands early, the driver is already there; if it is delayed, we adjust the pickup and you are not charged for the wait. This live flight tracking is the difference between a transfer that works and one that leaves you stranded at a taxi rank.
Antalya Airport has two international terminals and a domestic terminal. Give us your flight number at booking and the driver meets you at the correct terminal — no wrong-terminal confusion, no phone calls in a foreign language after landing.
What You'll See on the Road: Finike, Demre and the Lycian Coast
This transfer is a sightseeing drive in its own right. After the resort strip of Kemer and the pine-clad ruins near Olympos, the D400 opens onto long Mediterranean views. Finike is citrus country — orange groves run down to the sea — and just beyond it lies Demre, ancient Myra.
Demre rewards a stop for anyone with an hour to spare. The Church of St. Nicholas — the historical Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra — stands in the town centre, and the Lycian rock tombs of Myra are carved dramatically into the cliff above a Roman theatre. Boats to the sunken city of Kekova leave from nearby Çayağzı.
The final stretch past Kalkan delivers the route's signature view: Kaputaş Beach, a 150-metre ribbon of pale sand at the mouth of a gorge, seen from the bridge the road crosses high above it. Ask your driver and, traffic allowing, there is a pull-off to take it in.
Arriving in Kaş: Harbor, Old Town and the Bays
Kaş is a small harbor town with the feel of a Greek island — whitewashed lanes tumbling down to a marina, bougainvillea over the doorways, and the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) sitting just offshore. It draws independent travellers and divers rather than package crowds, and it keeps its character year-round.
Your transfer ends at your exact accommodation, whether that is a boutique hotel on the harbor, a villa on the Çukurbağ Peninsula, or a pension in the old town. The peninsula road is steep and narrow; a driver who knows it delivers you to the door rather than the nearest main road.
Kaş is Turkey's premier diving base, with more than 30 dive sites — reefs, caves, and wrecks — a short boat ride from the harbor. It is also a launch point for sea kayaking over the Kekova ruins and for walking sections of the Lycian Way.
Free Child Seats and Family Travel to Kaş
Three hours is a long way for a child in a lap. We provide child and booster seats free of charge — infant seats, toddler seats, and boosters — fitted correctly before you set off. Just tell us the ages at booking so the right seats are in the van.
The business van gives families room for a pram, beach gear, and the whole party in one vehicle, and the individual seats mean children can nap on the long coastal legs. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable through the midday heat.
Because the price is fixed and cancellation is free up to 24 hours out, families can book with confidence well ahead of the trip and adjust if travel plans shift.
Booking, Payment and 24/7 Service
Book online in a few minutes with your flight number, address in Kaş, group size, and any child-seat needs. You receive confirmation with the fixed price and driver arrangements — no deposit games, no hidden long-distance surcharge.
Pay the driver on arrival in cash (euro, sterling, or Turkish lira) or by card. There is nothing to settle in advance beyond the reservation, and the amount is exactly what you were quoted at booking.
Our team operates 24/7. Flights into Antalya land at every hour, and whether you arrive at dawn or after midnight, a driver is scheduled for your actual landing time. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup means a plan change costs you nothing.
