How to Get to Alanya from the Airport: All Transfer Options Explained

One of the first practical questions when planning a trip to Alanya
is how to get from the airport to your hotel.
There are two main arrival airports: Gazipasa (GZP)
and Antalya (AYT). Each has its own characteristics.

Gazipasa Airport (GZP) — The Closest to Alanya

Gazipasa airport is approximately 45 km from the centre of Alanya.
This is the most convenient arrival point for tourists
heading directly to Alanya.

The journey from the airport to your hotel takes around 40–50 minutes,
depending on traffic and your exact destination.

Transfer Options from Gazipasa

• Taxi: the fastest and most direct option. Confirm the price before departure or book in advance.
• Hotel transfer: many hotels, including MAREIN, can arrange or assist with airport transfers — ask when booking.
• Car hire: practical if you plan to explore the coastline independently during your stay.

Antalya Airport (AYT) — More Flights, Further from Alanya

Antalya is Turkey’s largest tourist airport,
with direct routes from many cities across Europe and the CIS.
The distance to Alanya is around 130 km, with a journey time of 1.5–2 hours.

Transfer Options from Antalya

• Shared shuttle transfer: a popular choice for tourists. Shuttle services collect several passengers and deliver them to their hotels. Lower cost than a private taxi, though the journey may take longer due to stops.
• Private taxi: comfortable but considerably more expensive given the distance. Best for those who prioritise speed and convenience.
• Bus (HAVAŞ or regional coaches): the budget option. You travel first to Antalya bus terminal, then take a coach to Alanya. It takes longer but suits independent travellers on a tighter budget.
• Car hire: worthwhile if you plan to travel around the wider region.

Practical Tips for Arriving in Alanya

• Ask your hotel about transfer options when booking — this is often more convenient and competitive in price.
• If taking a taxi, agree on a fixed price before the journey begins.
• In peak season, book transport in advance to avoid delays and higher on-the-day prices.
• If flying into Antalya late in the evening, allow approximately 2 hours for the journey to Alanya.
