Antalya airport transfers to the center and beach areas
Antalya Airport serves city breaks and beach resorts, but the best transfer depends on your terminal and hotel district. A journey to Kaleiçi is different from traveling east to Kundu or west to Konyaaltı. Check the terminal shown on your flight booking before choosing public transport, and use your hotel's full address when arranging a taxi or transfer.

How each one works
Tram: AntRay airport tram
Check whether your arrival terminal has convenient access to the airport tram stop. Take the city-bound service and use İsmetpaşa for a walk toward Kaleiçi. Check the accepted ticket or payment method at the stop before boarding.
Bus: Havaş airport shuttle
Check the official Havaş route and departure information for your terminal before traveling. Confirm which stop is closest to your hotel and whether you need an onward taxi. Ask about the accepted payment method when buying your ticket.
Taxi: Airport taxi
Use the official taxi rank outside your terminal and show the driver your hotel's full address. Confirm how the fare is calculated and whether card payment is accepted. For Kaleiçi, ask where vehicle access ends and how to reach the entrance.
Private transfer: Prebooked hotel transfer
Book through your hotel or a transfer provider using your flight details and terminal. Obtain the meeting instructions and a contact number before departure. Confirm a fixed fare, luggage capacity and any child seat you need.
Arriving late or leaving early
For a late arrival, check the last tram or shuttle departure before relying on public transport. If the connection does not fit your flight, use an airport taxi or arrange collection. For an early departure, book your hotel pickup with time for traffic and terminal procedures.
Before you land
- Check your terminal on the flight booking; do not assume every terminal has the same walk to public transport.
- Send your hotel address to the driver in writing, especially for properties inside the narrow lanes of Kaleiçi.
- For Lara or Kundu, compare a direct transfer with a journey through the center before choosing the cheapest option.
Antalya airport transfers to the center and beach areas
Can I take the tram straight to Kaleiçi?
The tram serves the city center, followed by a walk into Kaleiçi. Check airport stop access from your terminal and choose your city stop according to the hotel's exact location.
Which transfer suits a hotel in Kundu?
A taxi or prebooked transfer gives you a direct journey to the resort strip. Confirm the hotel's full name and address, since the area extends along the coast.
Will a taxi reach my old town hotel door?
Vehicle access varies between the lanes of Kaleiçi. Ask your hotel for its recommended drop-off point and whether staff can help you reach the entrance with luggage.
Should I book a transfer for a late flight?
Booking can help if you want an agreed meeting point and vehicle. Check the provider's flight delay policy and keep its contact details available when you land.
