Antalya Airport to Fethiye: how long, how much

Fethiye is about 200 km and 3 hours 15 minutes from Antalya Airport by the inland road over the mountains. Dalaman Airport is only 45 minutes from Fethiye, so Antalya mainly makes sense when its flights are much better.

The route

Drivers take the fast inland route: north-west out of Antalya, up to the Korkuteli plateau and over the Taurus mountains on the D350, then down into the Fethiye valley. It is a modern dual carriageway most of the way. The coastal road via Kaş is far more scenic but takes 4.5–5 hours.

Where the hotels are

Hotels are in Fethiye town around the harbour, along the Çalış beachfront 5 km north, and in Hisarönü, Ovacık and Ölüdeniz over the hill. Tell the driver which; Ölüdeniz adds 20 minutes.

Tips for this transfer

In winter the mountain pass near Korkuteli can see snow and ice, and drivers may take longer. If you want the coast road instead, agree it and the higher price when you book. Compare with the Dalaman Airport to Fethiye transfer.
