Distance from Antalya Airport (AYT)
Transfer times below are typical door-to-door drive times by private car in normal traffic. Shuttle services take longer because they stop at other hotels on the route.
Lara is the closest resort strip to Antalya Airport — a 20-minute drive along the coast, lined with themed five-star Ultra All Inclusive resorts and the long Lara sand-and-shingle beach.
Belek is Turkey's golf and luxury-family capital: pine forest, championship golf courses, wide sandy beaches and some of the newest five-star resorts in the Antalya region, 35 minutes east of the airport.
Side combines a Roman ancient town on a peninsula — Apollo Temple, amphitheatre, harbour bars — with long all-inclusive beach resorts in Kumköy, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl and Evrenseki.
Kemer lies west of Antalya where the Taurus mountains meet the sea — pebble beaches, clear water, pine slopes and the resort villages of Göynük, Beldibi, Kiriş, Çamyuva and Tekirova.
Alanya is the liveliest end of the Antalya coast: Cleopatra beach, the castle headland, Red Tower harbour and a big choice of value all-inclusive hotels, two hours east of the airport.
Kundu is the themed-resort quarter just east of Lara beach — the strip of landmark five-star hotels built as copies of Venice, Moscow and Troy, 18 km from Antalya Airport.
Kadriye is the village at the heart of the Belek golf area — walkable shops and restaurants, a boulevard of resorts and The Land of Legends theme park within a few minutes' drive.
Manavgat is the river town inland from Side — famous for its wide waterfall, the riverside restaurants and the Monday bazaar, with beach hotels at Kızılağaç, Çolaklı and Sorgun close by.
Kaleiçi is Antalya's walled old town: Ottoman houses turned into boutique hotels, Hadrian's Gate, the Roman harbour and cliff-top views over the bay — the city base rather than a beach resort.
