Transfer calculator

The route

The car takes the D400 coast road west from the airport, through the Gazipaşa area and past banana plantations, with the sea on your left for much of the way. Mahmutlar is the first large built-up area you reach, before Kestel and Alanya.

Where the hotels are

Mahmutlar stretches along the coast between the D400 and the beach, with rows of apartment blocks on the slopes above. Most accommodation is flats rather than hotels, so there is often no reception: send the driver the exact address, a map pin and a phone number in advance.

Tips for this transfer

GZP has far fewer flights than Antalya, mostly seasonal plus domestic flights from Istanbul and Ankara, so compare both airports when booking. Airport buses to Alanya can drop off along the main road, but with luggage a private car to the door, typically €30–40, is much easier. A taxi is usually €40–55.
