Antalya Airport (AYT): Routes, Times and Prices to the City and Resorts
Short answer: the AntRay tram is the cheapest way into Antalya: about 30 minutes to İsmetpaşa, the stop for Kaleiçi, for ≈€0.75 (₺42) with an Antalyakart. A taxi to the centre takes 20–30 minutes and costs about €15–16 (₺850–900) on the meter. There is no direct public transport to the resorts: by car, Belek takes 30–40 minutes, Kemer 50–75, Side 60–75 and Alanya 1 h 45 min to 2 h 30 min. A private transfer costs from €35 per vehicle to Lara and from €40 to Belek, for up to 6 passengers.
Antalya Airport (AYT) is only about 13–18 km by road from the city centre and Kaleiçi, and close to the beach hotels of Lara. It is also the gateway to the Turkish Riviera: Belek, Side and Alanya lie to the east, Kemer to the south-west, and Kaş and Kalkan on the Lycian coast. Below you'll find the options, journey times and 2026 prices for each area, with a detailed guide for every route.

Times assume normal traffic; in peak summer the airport and the coastal roads get much busier. Taxi fares are meter estimates based on the 2026 tariff, with no tolls on these routes; the fare board at the airport taxi rank shows current prices. You can't pay cash on the tram or city buses. Transfer prices are per vehicle (Mercedes Vito, up to 6 passengers), and the exact price for your date and pickup time is shown before you pay. Each guide has the full details.

Arriving at Antalya Airport: good to know
- Three terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and the Domestic terminal. The tram stop is a short walk from Terminal 1 and the Domestic terminal; from Terminal 2, take the free shuttle bus.
- Tram fares: buy an Antalyakart at the machines by the stop (the card costs ≈€1.80 / ₺100) or tap a contactless bank card for ≈€0.90 (₺50) a ride. Trams run until just after midnight.
- Havaş runs one line only, to Konyaaltı via the bus station. Public routes to the resorts all change at Antalya's bus station.
- Taxis wait outside each terminal's arrivals exit around the clock. Ask for the meter and turn down prices quoted in euros; a standard taxi takes up to 4 passengers.
- Private transfer: your driver meets you just outside the arrivals exit and, once you land, contacts you on WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and a short video.
Which option suits you?
Solo or with light luggage: the tram is ideal for Kaleiçi and the centre, and the Havaş coach for Konyaaltı. For one or two people going to Lara, a taxi is quick and inexpensive. Public transport to the resorts only suits daytime arrivals with time to spare.
Families, groups and heavy luggage: five or six people with suitcases need two taxis and pay two meter fares, while one Mercedes Vito takes up to 6 passengers with luggage, from €45 to Side or from €50 to Kemer per vehicle. Larger groups can book a Sprinter; mention golf bags when you book.
Late arrivals: the tram stops just after midnight and coaches along the coast don't run late, so the choice is a taxi or a pre-booked transfer. For Alanya, Kaş and Kalkan, a driver who tracks your flight and waits if it's delayed is the most reliable option. For Kalkan, also compare flights to Dalaman Airport, which is closer.
