Kemer Airport Transfer & Taxi

Your local guide to Kemer

Beaches & the turquoise sea

Kemer's beaches are mostly pebble and shingle, which keeps the water strikingly clear and the perfect deep turquoise the coast is known for. The famous Moonlight (Ayışığı) Beach near the marina is the social heart, with sunbeds, beach bars and a buzzing daytime scene, while quieter shores stretch out through Kiriş, Çamyuva and Tekirova for those who prefer calm. Everywhere the pine forest comes right down to the shoreline, so you swim with the green Taurus slopes as your backdrop. Water shoes are worth packing for the pebbles, and the sea stays gloriously transparent for snorkelling.

Things to see & do nearby

Kemer rewards anyone who looks beyond the beach. Göynük Canyon offers cool, shaded walks between dramatic rock walls and natural pools, a refreshing escape from the midday heat. The Tahtalı cable car climbs Olympos mountain for sweeping views over the whole coastline, and history lovers can wander the seaside ruins of ancient Phaselis, with its three harbours, or the atmospheric remains of Olympos tucked among the greenery. The smart marina is the place for boat trips, sunset drinks and people-watching. Between canyon, cable car, ruins and sea, you can easily fill a week without repeating a day.

Food & town life

Life in Kemer revolves around the marina and the lively centre, where palm-lined streets fill with restaurants, cafes and bars as the evening cools. You will find fresh fish and Turkish meze alongside international menus geared to the resort crowd, and gözleme and köfte at simpler local spots away from the seafront. Each resort town has its own rhythm: Göynük and Beldibi feel relaxed and family-friendly, while the main centre and marina stay busier into the night. Stroll the harbour after dark for ice cream and live music, with yachts lit up and the mountains a black silhouette behind.

Practical tips for visitors

Kemer suits almost everyone: families love the gentle resort towns and free child seats on transfers, while active travellers come for canyons, diving and the cable car. The towns are spread along the coast, so a private transfer to your specific resort saves a lot of confusion on arrival. Dolmuş minibuses link the centre with Beldibi, Çamyuva and Tekirova cheaply during the day, and taxis are easy to find. Pack water shoes for the pebbles, sun protection for the boat trips, and a light layer for breezy summit visits. For canyon walks and ruins, go early before the heat peaks.

Getting to Kemer & your transfer

The closest airport to Kemer is Antalya (AYT); Gazipasa sits far to the east and is not practical for this coast. From AYT it is a roughly 45 km drive west, curving past Konyaaltı and along the pine-fringed coastal road as the Taurus mountains rise beside you, usually under an hour outside peak traffic. After a long flight, a fixed-price private door-to-door transfer takes the guesswork out of arrival: your driver waits with meet and greet, tracks your flight so a delay is never a problem, brings free child seats when you need them, and is reachable 24/7 on WhatsApp. You step off the plane and head straight to your hotel in Beldibi, Göynük, Kiriş, Çamyuva or Tekirova.
