The route

The car takes the D400 east past Belek and Serik and crosses the Köprüçay river. A few kilometres before the Side turn-off it leaves the main road for the coast, where the big resorts of Evrenseki and then Çolaklı line the beach road. Traffic is usually light outside summer Saturdays.

Where the hotels are

Evrenseki lies slightly west and Çolaklı just east of it, both on a long sandy beach that continues to Kumköy and Side. Most hotels here are large all-inclusive resorts built around families, set back from the D400 on the beach side. Side old town is about 15 minutes further by car.

Tips for this transfer

A private car typically costs about €40–55 and a taxi on the meter about €60–80, so booking ahead usually pays for two or more people. Shared shuttles cost around €12–18 per person but often stop in Belek and other Side villages too. For the whole area, see Antalya Airport to Side.
