Where to stay in Antalya

What is the best area to stay in Antalya?

Lara and Kundu suit travellers who want big themed five-star all-inclusive resorts close to the airport and the city. Belek and Kadriye are the golf and premium-family areas. Side and Manavgat combine beach resorts with a Roman old town. Kemer is the mountain-and-clear-water option, Alanya the best value, and Kaleiçi the boutique city-break base.

What is the best area in Antalya for luxury hotels?

Belek and Kadriye have the newest premium resorts and the championship golf courses; Lara and Kundu have the landmark themed five-star hotels on a long sandy beach. We quote both areas on request with live availability.

Is Antalya good for a family holiday?

Yes. Most resorts in Lara, Kundu, Belek and Side are built around family all-inclusive concepts with aquaparks and kids' clubs, and many of our excursions — boat trips, Land of Legends, the dolphin show, lion safari — are designed for children with reduced child pricing.

Antalya Airport transfers

How do Antalya Airport transfers work?

You send us your flight number, hotel and passenger count. We track the flight, so the driver waits for the actual landing time, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you directly to your hotel. Return pickup time is confirmed by WhatsApp before your departure day.

How far is Antalya Airport from Belek?

Belek is about 35 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), roughly 35 minutes by private car.

How far is Antalya Airport from Side?

Side is about 65 km from Antalya Airport, roughly 1 hour 5 minutes by private car, covering Kumköy, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl and Evrenseki.

How much does a private Antalya airport transfer cost?

The price depends on the destination area, vehicle type and passenger count, so we quote it as a fixed total before you book — no per-person surprises. Send your hotel and flight details on WhatsApp and you get the exact price back.

Do you provide child seats and VIP vehicles?

Yes. Child and baby seats are added free on request, and VIP Mercedes Vito vehicles are available on every route alongside the standard private car.

Antalya tours and excursions

What are the best Antalya excursions?

The most-booked are the Mediterranean boat trip, Green Canyon boat tour, buggy and jeep safari in the Taurus mountains, the Antalya city and Kaleiçi tour, Land of Legends and the two-day Cappadocia trip.

Which Antalya excursions include hotel pickup?

All of our daily tours include hotel pickup and drop-off across Lara, Kundu, Belek, Kadriye, Side, Manavgat, Kemer, Alanya and central Antalya. Pickup time is confirmed by WhatsApp the evening before.

Are Antalya tours available as private tours?

Yes. Any daily excursion can be run privately with your own vehicle, guide and timing, and we also operate private city tours and private yacht charters.

Can I book Antalya tours in German, French, Russian or Polish?

Our team answers in English, German, Russian, French, Polish and Turkish. Guided tours run in English, German, Russian and Turkish; for French and Polish we arrange a private guide on request.

What are the best day trips from Antalya?

Pamukkale and the travertine terraces, Demre–Myra–Kekova on the Lycian coast, Green Canyon and Manavgat, and the ancient cities of Aspendos, Perge and Side. Cappadocia is a two-day trip rather than a day trip.

Can I visit Cappadocia from Antalya?

Yes, as a two-day trip with an overnight stay — the drive is too long for a single day. It includes the underground city, the valleys and the option of a sunrise balloon flight.

What are the best things to do in Belek?

Golf, Land of Legends theme park, the Aspendos Roman theatre, Köprülü canyon rafting and buggy safari — all with pickup from Belek and Kadriye hotels.

Walk the ancient town and Apollo Temple at sunset, take the Manavgat river and bazaar day, join a Green Canyon boat trip and visit the Manavgat waterfall.

What are the best things to do in Lara?

What are the best things to do in Kemer?

The Olympos cable car to Mount Tahtalı, Suluada boat trips, diving in the clearest water on the coast and the pine-forest villages of Göynük, Kiriş and Tekirova.
