Transportation Guide: Antalya Airport to the City Center
Car Rental
For those who want to explore the vast Antalya coastline freely, renting a car is the most comfortable and practical option.
Compare & Save: Through Yolcu360, you can instantly compare top suppliers operating at Antalya Airport - such as Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Rent Go, and Garenta - and book your vehicle online.
Early Booking: By reserving your car in advance, especially before the busy summer season, you can secure the most budget-friendly rates and guarantee your vehicle's availability.
Antray (Tramway)
The Antray tram line is the fastest and most economical way to reach the city center and the main bus terminal without worrying about road traffic.
Station Location: The tram stop is located directly opposite the Domestic Terminal and International Terminal 1. (Note: If you land at International Terminal 2, you will need to take an airport shuttle or walk to this stop).
Route: The tram travels from the airport to İsmetpaşa (near Kaleiçi/Old Town) and terminates at the Antalya Intercity Bus Terminal (Otogar).
Payment: You can pass through the turnstiles using a local transit card (Antalyakart) or any contactless credit/debit card.
HAVAŞ Airport Shuttles
If you are traveling with heavy luggage and prefer a guaranteed seat, HAVAŞ coaches offer a comfortable ride.
Route: Shuttles pass through major hubs including Gazi Boulevard, Kepez, and 5M Migros (Konyaaltı entrance) before reaching the Bus Terminal.
Schedule & Pick-up: Coaches depart from outside the Domestic Arrivals exit. Schedules are synchronized with domestic flights, including night arrivals. The journey takes about 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Municipal Buses (Lines 600 and 800)
Operated by the city, these public buses run on a 24-hour basis (though night services are less frequent).
Line 600: Connects the Airport to the City Center, the Medical Faculty, and the Bus Terminal.
Line 800: Highly recommended for tourists, this route provides direct access to the popular coastal districts of Lara and Konyaaltı.
Payment: Cash is not accepted on board. You must use an Antalyakart or a contactless credit card.
Taxis and Private Transfers
For passengers heading directly to resort towns like Belek, Kemer, Side, or Alanya, door-to-door transit is often preferred.
City Center: The airport is only 13–15 km from downtown. A taxi ride to Kaleiçi or central hotels takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes and is reasonably priced.
Distant Resorts: Taxis to outer districts (like Kemer or Belek) can be expensive. It is highly recommended to check the fixed-price board at the airport taxi stand or pre-book a private VIP transfer or rental car to manage your budget effectively.
Important Tips Before Flying to Antalya
Choose the Right Airport: Antalya Airport (AYT) is the primary hub, offering a strategic location for both domestic and international flights. If your final destination is further east, Alanya Gazipaşa Airport (GZP) might be a closer alternative.
Anticipate Traffic: City traffic can get heavy during morning and evening rush hours, particularly in the Lara and Konyaaltı districts. Plan to leave for the airport at least 2 hours before your flight, or rely on the Antray tram to avoid delays.
Review Baggage Limits: Always check your airline's baggage policy before packing. Domestic flights on budget carriers often have strict limits, and excess baggage fees at the counter can be costly.
Prepare Your Documents: Keep your passport and visa (for international flights) or government ID (for domestic flights) easily accessible. Passport control at Antalya Airport can experience long queues during peak holiday seasons.
Pre-Book Your Transport: To start your holiday the moment you land, reserve your rental car via Yolcu360 in advance. This allows you to skip the taxi lines and public transit schedules entirely.
