How to get from Antalya Airport to Alanya usually means a road journey of roughly two hours, and you can choose between a private transfer, a shared shuttle, an intercity bus or a rental car. Alanya lies on the Mediterranean coast roughly 110 to 120 km east of Antalya city, so most routes follow the coastal highway past Side and Manavgat.
Once you arrive, the Alanya area has plenty to fill your days. Several tours on TurB2C include hotel pickup in Alanya, from a Sapadere Canyon day with lunch to a catamaran cruise with soft drinks.
The road from Antalya Airport heads east along the coast on the D400 highway, the main route between Antalya and Alanya. Expect the journey to take about two hours in normal traffic, though busy summer weekends, roadworks and stops can add time. The road passes coastal towns including Side and Manavgat, and you will see sea and mountain scenery for much of the way. Ask your driver or operator for an estimated arrival time at your hotel before you set off, so you can plan check-in and any plans for the rest of the day.
A private transfer takes you straight from the airport to your Alanya hotel, which suits families, groups and anyone with heavy luggage. A shared shuttle is a more flexible way to travel with other passengers, though it may make several stops before reaching your hotel. Intercity buses run between Antalya and Alanya from the city bus station, so you would need to reach Antalya city first. Timetables change by season, so check them with the operator before you travel. Driving a rental car gives you full control of your timing, but you will need a valid licence and should expect coastal traffic. Choose based on your luggage, group size and how much flexibility you need.
Yes. Many activities on TurB2C include hotel pickup in the Alanya area, so you do not need to make your own way across town on your first full day. Options include the Sapadere Canyon Tour with lunch by the river and a cave visit, the Catamaran Cruise with lunch and soft drinks that visits hidden caves and coves, and the Tandem Paragliding Flight over Cleopatra Beach with a licensed pilot. For a slower day, the Turkish bath with transfer includes a sauna session, steam room, kese scrub and a 20 minute aromatherapy oil massage. Check each listing for its pickup and drop-off details, then confirm timing with your hotel reception.
Keep your hotel name and address handy, since drivers and tour operators use it to plan pickups, and save your booking confirmation on your phone. Confirm in advance what your transfer covers, including luggage and any stops along the way. Tour inclusions vary: the Jeep Water Fights Safari includes hotel transfer both ways, guiding, full insurance and lunch, while the Pirate Boat includes round-trip hotel transfers, lunch, unlimited soft drinks and live entertainment. Bring swimwear and sun protection for boat trips and water activities, and check the listing for the exact items included.
