The 135 km drive from Antalya Airport to Alanya is one of the most beautiful road journeys in Turkey — winding past orange and banana plantations, cliff-hugging coastal villages, and the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea. MRT VIP Transfer makes that 2-hour journey a pleasure, not a stress: a professional driver meets you at arrivals, loads your bags, and lets you relax as the Turkish Riviera unfolds outside your window.
At €100 for the whole vehicle, a private transfer to Alanya is not only more comfortable than a shared shuttle but often cheaper when split among 2–3 passengers. There's no waiting for strangers to board, no detours to other hotels, and no metered fare that climbs with every kilometer of roadwork.
Why Book a Private Transfer from Antalya to Alanya?
Shared minibus transfers to Alanya typically stop at 4–8 hotels along the D400 highway, turning a 2-hour drive into a 3.5-hour ordeal. With a private transfer, the route is direct. Your driver knows the fastest stretches, uses the Alanya bypass to avoid the town's summer traffic, and delivers you precisely to your hotel entrance. Our fixed price of €100 includes all tolls and fuel — no hidden extras. The vehicle is sanitized before every journey, and baby seats are available on request at no extra cost.
Your Journey: Antalya Airport to Alanya
Your driver meets you at arrivals holding a sign with your name. After a quick 5-minute walk to the parking area, you're on the D400 heading east. The first 45 minutes pass through Side and Manavgat — you'll spot the outline of ancient ruins against the sea if you're travelling by daylight. As you approach Alanya, the dramatic silhouette of Alanya Castle (Alanya Kalesi) on its 250-metre promontory comes into view. Your driver drops you at your hotel, assists with luggage, and confirms your return transfer if needed. Total journey: approximately 2 hours.
Top Things to See & Do in Alanya
Alanya Castle (Alanya Kalesi) is the city's crowning glory — a Seljuk fortress with 150 towers and panoramic views of Cleopatra Beach below. The Red Tower (Kızıl Kule), built in 1226, is a beautifully preserved octagonal landmark on the harbour. Cleopatra Beach stretches 2 km of golden sand on the western side of the promontory — legend says Cleopatra swam here with Mark Antony. Damlataş Cave offers relief from summer heat with its cool, humid air said to benefit asthma sufferers. For adventure seekers, the Alanya boat tours depart from the harbour daily, circling the caves of Lovers' Cave, Pirates' Cave, and Phosphorus Cave.
Travel Tips
- Alanya Castle is best visited in the morning before the heat peaks — the climb takes about 30 minutes on foot or you can take a minibus from the city centre.
- Cleopatra Beach gets very crowded in July and August; arrive before 9 AM or after 5 PM for a comfortable swim.
- Ask your driver to point out the banana plantations around Mahmutlar — Alanya is one of the few places in Europe where bananas grow commercially.
- The Alanya harbour area (Rıhtım Caddesi) is excellent for fresh fish dinners — try the local sea bass (levrek) grilled over charcoal.
