Alanya to Antalya Airport (and Gazipaşa): Departure-Day Guide
Going home from Alanya means one more transfer, and this time the clock matters: you need to reach the airport in good time for check-in. This guide covers the trip from your hotel to Antalya Airport (AYT), or to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) if you fly from there: how long the drive really takes, what time to book your pickup, how to handle check-out day and what it costs. The fare is the same fixed price per vehicle as on the way in, and you can book both legs together.
How long does it take from Alanya to Antalya Airport?
From Alanya centre to Antalya Airport it is about 125 km on the D-400 coast road, and road data puts the drive itself at roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. That is driving time only. For planning, allow about 2 hours door to door from central Alanya in normal conditions: the hotel pickup, the run through Manavgat and the traffic around the airport all add minutes. In peak summer, especially on daytime runs, allow more. Hotels west of the centre, in Konaklı, Avsallar and Okurcalar, are closer to Antalya; Kestel, Mahmutlar and Kargıcak lie further east, so add time from there. The table below gives the road distance and our fixed fare from each area to both airports.
Fares from your hotel to the airport
The fare back to the airport is the same as the fare from the airport to your hotel: a fixed price per vehicle, agreed in advance. The prices below are for the Eco Minivan, one way; the VIP Minivan and the Minibus are listed on each route page.
| Area | AYT · Distance | AYT · From | GZP · Distance | GZP · From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Okurcalar | 98 km | €55 | 70 km | €50 |
| Avsallar | 105 km | €60 | 62 km | €45 |
| Konaklı | 115 km | €60 | 52 km | €45 |
| Alanya | 125 km | €65 | 40 km | €40 |
| Oba | 127 km | €65 | 38 km | €40 |
| Tosmur | 129 km | €65 | 36 km | €40 |
| Kestel | 132 km | €65 | 33 km | €40 |
| Mahmutlar | 138 km | €65 | 28 km | €40 |
| Kargıcak | 145 km | €70 | 22 km | €40 |
Road distances are from each area; your hotel may be a few kilometres either side.
What time should my pickup be?
Work backwards from your flight. Airlines generally advise arriving at the airport about 2 to 3 hours before an international flight, so check the exact advice on your airline's website or booking. Then add the door-to-door time: about 2 hours from central Alanya to Antalya Airport, more in summer. Worked example: for a 14:00 international flight from Antalya and a hotel in Alanya centre, aim to be at the airport by 11:00 to 12:00, which means a pickup at about 09:00 to 10:00; in July and August take the earlier time. For a 06:00 flight the same sum gives a pickup at about 01:00 to 02:00: the roads are quieter at night, but the check-in advice does not change. For an 18:00 flight, a pickup at about 13:00 to 14:00 works. Tell us your flight time and hotel when you book and we will agree the pickup time with you; if in doubt, leave earlier.
Flying home from Gazipaşa instead
If your flight leaves from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), the transfer is much shorter: about 40 km from Alanya centre, roughly 40 to 45 minutes, and less from Mahmutlar or Kargıcak, which lie on the way. The western resorts such as Avsallar and Okurcalar are 60 to 70 km from GZP, so allow more from there. GZP is a small airport, but the check-in advice is still your airline's, and for an international flight that usually means 2 to 3 hours before departure. Example: for a 14:00 flight from GZP and a hotel in Alanya centre, aim to arrive around 11:00 to 12:00, which means a pickup at about 10:00 to 11:00.
Same fixed price in reverse, and booking both legs together
Your return leg is priced exactly like your arrival: the same fixed fare per vehicle for the same route, from €65 from Alanya centre to Antalya Airport and from €40 to Gazipaşa in the Eco Minivan. A return trip is simply two one-way fares, and the booking form shows the total when you choose a return. The easiest option is to book both legs at the same time and give us your departure flight number, its time and your hotel; you can also book the return later on WhatsApp. Either way the price is agreed before you travel, and your driver collects you at the hotel at the agreed time.
Check-out day: luggage, timing and pickup
Many hotels ask guests to check out around midday, which can leave a gap before an evening flight. Ask reception early in your stay whether a late check-out is possible or whether they can store your luggage, so you can spend the last hours at the beach or the pool. On the day, be in the lobby with your bags a few minutes before the agreed pickup time, and keep passports, tickets, medicines and chargers in your hand luggage rather than in the suitcase. Give us your flight number and the hotel name when you book, and keep our WhatsApp chat handy so you can tell us quickly if your plans or your flight time change. If you need child seats for the return, mention it when you book: they are free on request.
Arriving at Antalya Airport
Antalya Airport has separate terminals for international and domestic flights. Tell us your airline and flight number when you book, and check the terminal on your ticket or in your airline's app, so your driver can drop you at the right building. If your first flight is a domestic connection, for example via Istanbul, it may leave from a different terminal than you expect. Gazipaşa has a single terminal, so there is nothing to choose there.
