The route

The route follows the D400 east past Belek and Serik, over the Köprüçay river, to the Side junction before Manavgat. There the car turns right towards the coast and Kumköy comes before the old town. Summer Saturday afternoons can add 15 minutes around Manavgat.

Where the hotels are

Kumköy sits between Çolaklı to the west and Side old town to the east, along the sandy West Beach. Hotels are spread over the village streets and the beach road; some smaller places and apartments are on side streets without signs, so a map pin helps the driver.

Tips for this transfer

Expect roughly €40–60 for a private car and €62–82 on the taxi meter. Shared shuttles, around €12–18 per person, stop at many Side hotels and can take two hours. From Kumköy it is a short walk or dolmuş ride along the beach to the old town; see Antalya Airport to Side for the rest of the area.
