Dalaman Airport to Kaş: how long, how much

Kaş is about 150 km and 2 hours 15 minutes from Dalaman Airport, an hour less than from Antalya. The last part of the drive along the cliffs past Kalkan and Kaputaş is one of the most beautiful on the coast.

The route

The route follows the Kalkan transfer east via Fethiye and the Eşen plain, then continues along the coast road from Kalkan past Kaputaş beach into Kaş.

Where the hotels are

Hotels are in the old town around the harbour and on the Çukurbağ peninsula west of the centre, where many have their own swimming platforms. Give the driver the hotel name; the peninsula road is long.

Tips for this transfer

For a late arrival, book ahead: taxis to Kaş are expensive and few want the long drive back empty. Dolmuş minibuses between Kalkan and Kaş stop at Kaputaş if you want to come back to the beach later.
