Belek to Antalya Airport: When to Leave, Taxi and Pickup
Short answer: From Belek the drive to Antalya Airport takes about 30–40 minutes in normal traffic: less from the Kadriye hotels, more from Boğazkent. Our private car costs from €40 per vehicle (Mercedes Vito, up to 6 passengers), not per person. For an international flight, leave your hotel about 3¾–4¼ hours before departure, and take the earlier end on summer Saturdays and Sundays.
Pick your date and time: the price of every vehicle is shown on the next step, before you pay. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.

Belek is the closest major resort area to Antalya Airport, about 30–35 km east of the terminals, and that short distance is exactly why people leave too late. The drive itself is rarely the problem. The time goes at the two ends: getting from your room through a large resort to the main entrance, and the queues at a busy airport when several flights leave together.
Pickup Times From Belek, Worked Back From Your Flight
Airlines usually recommend being at the airport 2–3 hours before an international flight. Our rule from Belek is 3 hours at the airport, the 30–40 minute drive and about 30 minutes' margin: a pickup about 3¾–4¼ hours before an international flight and 2¾–3¼ hours before a domestic one. Follow your own airline's advice where it asks for more.
| Your international flight | Pickup in Belek, roughly |
|---|---|
| 06:30 | 02:15–02:45 |
| 12:00 | 07:45–08:15 |
| 19:00 | 14:45–15:15 |
Choose the earlier time from Boğazkent or on a Saturday or Sunday. Not sure? Send us your flight time on WhatsApp and we suggest a pickup time.
Flights Before 08:00
No public transport from Belek reaches the airport before about 07:30. The first BA22 bus towards Antalya leaves Boğazkent at 05:50, and you still need the tram from Meydan after it. For an early flight the choice is a taxi that your hotel orders the evening before, or a pre-booked car that comes at the time you set. Settle your hotel bill the evening before.
Leaving a Belek Resort: Lobby, Barrier and Golf Bags
Belek has no town centre to meet in. Every hotel sits on its own private drive, usually behind a security barrier, and our driver comes through the grounds to the main entrance at the pickup time you booked. When they arrive, they contact you on WhatsApp. Be in the lobby a few minutes early with your luggage.
- Allow for the walk. Resort grounds are large, and a family wing can be several minutes from reception; ask whether the hotel can send a buggy for the luggage.
- Give the exact hotel name. Several big resorts have similar names and share long access roads, so copy the name from your voucher. If you want to be collected somewhere other than the main entrance, write it in the booking notes.
- Golf bags. A golf bag takes the space of about two suitcases. Four golfers with a bag and a case each fit a Sprinter better than a Vito, and your airline sets its own rules for clubs at check-in.
The driver loads the bags and drops you at the departures level of your terminal (see hotel pickup).
Resort Taxi, BA22 Bus or Our Car: Costs From Belek
A taxi to the airport is not priced like a taxi from it. Taxis licensed in Serik district, which includes Belek, use Antalya's higher resort tariff of ≈€1.10 (₺60) to start and ≈€1.25 (₺70) per km, with no night rate. Airport taxis use the cheaper central tariff, so the Belek ride back costs more than the ride out. Our price works differently: the trip to the airport costs the same as the trip from it.
| Option | Time to the airport | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Our private transfer | 30–40 min, hotel to departures | from €40 per vehicle |
| Resort taxi on the meter (~33 km) | 30–40 min | ≈€43 (₺2,370) per car |
| Bus BA22 to Meydan, then the tram | about 1 h 30 min – 2 h | BA22 fare not published, plus ≈€0.75 (₺42) for the tram with an Antalyakart |
Taxi figures are meter estimates for the whole car in free-flowing traffic; practice varies, so ask your hotel for an estimate first. Our price is per vehicle, and the exact price for your date and pickup time is shown before you pay.
- When the bus is enough: one traveller with light luggage and a daytime flight. BA22 leaves Boğazkent between 05:50 and 21:30, every 20–30 minutes, and takes about 70 minutes to Meydan; the tram from Meydan reaches the airport in 22 minutes. The tram stop is beside Terminal 1 and the Domestic terminal, so for Terminal 2 take the airport's free ring shuttle. You still have to reach the bus stop from your resort.
- When a taxi is fine: up to four people with ordinary luggage. From Belek the resort taxi and our car cost about the same. A standard taxi takes 4 passengers and usually 2–3 suitcases.
- When the car wins: a family of five or six, who would need two taxis; golf bags; an early flight; or a pickup you want settled before you go to bed. A Mercedes Vito takes 6 passengers and 7 suitcases.
From 16 November 2026, taxis in Turkey must take bank cards through a device linked to the meter; until then, ask before you get in and carry lira. The Antalya Airport taxi prices guide has the full tariff, and taxi or private transfer works through the sums for groups.
Kadriye, Belek Centre or Boğazkent: The Road to the Terminals
The route is simple: out of the resort's private drive, onto the coastal highway and west to the airport. The resort strip runs along the Serik coast in three parts:
| Area | Road distance | Drive (clear road) |
|---|---|---|
| Kadriye (west) | 26–32 km | 27–34 min |
| Belek centre (Belek Turizm Caddesi) | 33–41 km | 32–48 min |
| Boğazkent (east) | 42–47 km | 41–46 min |
Distance is not what slows it down. On summer weekends many hotels change guests on the same day, and the road and the check-in counters fill up together. Midweek is calmer, though a late-afternoon flight can still meet busy traffic near Antalya. In 2026 almost all international flights leave from Terminal 2, but the terminal is set per flight, so check your boarding pass and tell the driver.
Booking, Paying and Changing Plans
Search from your hotel to Antalya Airport with the date, pickup time, passengers and bags; each vehicle that fits is shown with its price for the whole vehicle, with no extra charge for traffic or flight delays. Child seats cost five euros per seat. The payment page shows your options and the exact amount of each before you confirm: card online (on iyzico's secure page with 3D Secure), cash to the driver in euro, US dollar, pound sterling or lira, or a booking guarantee by card with the rest in cash (how to pay).
Cancelling is free up to 24 hours before pickup. Between 6 and 24 hours before, up to 50% of the one-way price is charged, and under 6 hours the full price may be charged. Date and time changes are possible until 24 hours before pickup (cancel or change). Booking both ways together gives a discount on the return part.
Prices for each vehicle are on the Belek to Antalya Airport transfer page (Boğazkent has its own). For the arrival, see Antalya Airport to Belek and the Belek transfer guide; for terminals and security, getting to Antalya Airport.

About 30–40 minutes in normal traffic. In clear traffic the Kadriye hotels are 27–34 minutes away, central Belek 32–48 minutes and Boğazkent 41–46 minutes. Allow more on summer Saturdays and Sundays, when many hotels change guests.
What time should I leave Belek for an international flight?

On the meter, roughly €43 (₺2,370) for the whole car. Belek taxis use Antalya's resort tariff, so the ride back costs more than the ride from the airport. There is no night rate. Ask your hotel or the driver for an estimate first.

From €40 per vehicle in a Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 7 suitcases, not per person. The exact price for your date and pickup time is shown before you pay, and the trip to the airport costs the same as the trip from it.
