Antalya Airport taxi: What to know before you book
A taxi from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Antalya city center costs around €18 (about TRY 918, 1€ ≈ 51 TRY) for 12 km under the new 2026 UKOME-approved tariff and takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic. Welcome Pickups transfers cost from €19 (TRY 969) at a fixed fare, with your driver waiting with your personalized name sign at Arrivals.
If you choose a standard taxi, the tariff is €1.18 (TRY 60) starting fare, €1.37 (TRY 70) per kilometer, €4.90 (TRY 250) minimum fare, and €0.08 (TRY 4) per minute for waiting. Antalya Airport is approximately 13 km northeast of the city center, but many travelers continue to stay near coastal resorts.
AYT has three passenger terminals: International Terminal 1, Domestic, and International Terminal 2. Trams operate only from the T1/Domestic side. Buses and taxis operate from the airport, but crowded transport, taxi-meter disputes, and designated app-based pickup spots can create uncertainty.
Lara/Kundu is around 18 km away and a private transfer costs about €20 (TRY 1,122), while Belek is around 35 km away and costs about €24 (TRY 1,224). Kemer, Side, and Alanya are farther, requiring more planning.
A pre-booked transfer from Antalya Airport to your destination of choice avoids any uncertainty, as you confirm your meeting point and fare before travel, especially useful for late-night flights or traveling with family or luggage.

Arriving at AYT Airport: What happens when you land?
Antalya Airport has three terminals: two international and one domestic, so your first step is checking where your flight arrives. Taxis are available outside the Arrivals areas, while buses and the AntRay tram provide cheaper connections into Antalya.
The AntRay tram does not serve T2 directly, so you need to use the airport’s free terminal shuttle to reach the T1/Domestic side before continuing by tram. But if you are considering a pre-booked airport transfer, here’s how Welcome Pickup’s transfer works:
1. Book your transfer before traveling and receive your driver’s name, photo, contact details, and pickup instructions.
2. Your flight is monitored, so the pickup time can be adjusted if your flight arrives later or earlier than scheduled.
3. After collecting your luggage, follow the meeting instructions provided with your booking. Your driver will wait at the arranged meeting point with a personalized name sign.
4. Your driver helps with your luggage and takes you directly to the vehicle, so you do not have to work out the taxi rank, tram connection, or designated app-based pickup area after landing.
5. The fare is confirmed before your journey, avoiding the uncertainty of a metered taxi fare for your particular route.
6. Complimentary waiting time gives you additional flexibility if passport control, security checks, baggage collection, or other arrival procedures take longer than expected.

How does Antalya Airport taxi pricing actually work?
A pre-booked private transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Antalya city center costs from €19, with the fare confirmed before travel. You also get an arranged pickup and direct transportation to your destination without needing to check the taxi meter or arrange transport after landing. It can be particularly useful for families, groups, travelers with several bags, and passengers heading directly to resorts outside Antalya.
Booking ahead can also be useful for longer journeys because Antalya taxis are metered, while public transport to destinations such as Belek, Side, Kemer, and Alanya can involve additional connections.
Apart from that, the main differences between pre-booked transfers and arranging transport after arrival are:
- -Your driver’s details are provided before the journey, including their name, photo, and contact information, with flight monitoring if your arrival time changes.
- -Your meeting point is arranged in advance, so you do not need to find the airport taxi rank or work out the designated pickup area used by app-based services.
- -The fare is confirmed before travel, unlike an airport taxi where the final price depends on the meter, distance, and waiting time.
- -An English-speaking local driver takes you directly to your destination, whether you are staying in Antalya, Lara/Kundu, Belek, Side, Kemer, or Alanya.
- -Vehicle choices can accommodate different groups and luggage needs, with child seats available when requested during booking.
- -The vehicle is reserved for your travel party, so you do not wait for other passengers or make additional stops.
- -Luggage assistance and customer support are available before and during the journey.
- -Your pickup is arranged before you fly, which can be particularly useful when arriving late and continuing to a resort where public transport connections may be less convenient.
How to choose a reliable airport transfer in Antalya?
For Antalya, local knowledge matters because airport journeys can range from a short trip into the city to a much longer drive along the coast to a resort. A suitable driver should understand the routes, hotel areas, airport procedures, and practical issues that affect your arrival.
When comparing services, look for drivers who:
- -Can communicate clearly in English and explain the pickup arrangements and route if needed.
- -Know the main resort routes from AYT, including Lara/Kundu, Belek, Side, Kemer, and Alanya.
- -Understand the different terminal arrangements and can reach the correct meeting point.
- -Receive your flight information and can adjust the pickup when your arrival time changes.
- -Provide their name, photograph, and contact details before the journey.
- -Meet passengers at the agreed location rather than leaving them to search around the airport.
- -Can help with luggage, particularly when traveling with children or several bags.
- -Drive licensed and insured vehicles that meet the applicable Turkish transport and safety requirements.
- -Can accommodate different group sizes, luggage requirements, and child-seat requests where available.
Welcome Pickups drivers are selected, vetted, and trained before completing airport transfers, helping provide a consistent arrival experience from AYT.
Where can I travel from AYT Airport?
Antalya Airport serves both the city and a long stretch of Turkey’s Mediterranean resort coast. The further you travel from AYT, the more important it becomes to compare the journey time and total transport cost. You can travel to destinations including:
- – Lara/Kundu, Antalya’s main hotel and resort strip, is around 18 km from AYT, takes approximately 20–35 minutes, and costs about €20 (TRY 1,020) by taxi.
- – Belek, a major resort area known for luxury hotels, golf courses, and beaches, is around 35 km from the airport, takes approximately 30-35 minutes, and costs about €24 (TRY 1,224) by taxi.
- – Kemer, a coastal resort surrounded by mountains and known for beaches and marina areas, is approximately 60 km from AYT and takes around 55–60 minutes for €47 (about TRY 2,397), depending on traffic.
- – Side, known for its ancient ruins, beaches, and large resort hotels, is around 65 km from the airport and generally takes about 60–75 minutes by road for €32.80 (TRY 1,673).
- – Alanya, one of the region’s largest resort destinations, is roughly 125 km from AYT and can take around 100–110 minutes and costs from €76 (TRY 3,876), making it one of the longer airport transfers on the Antalya coast.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Antalya Airport
- Check your terminal before you arrive at AYT. All terminals do not have identical transport connections, and T2 passengers need the airport shuttle to reach the T1/Domestic side for the tram.
- Do not rely on a quoted flat taxi price and always check the tariff. Travelers have reported disagreements over quoted airport taxi prices, so knowing the current UKOME rate gives you a useful reference.
- Allow extra time for airport checks. Passport control, security, and baggage collection can take longer during busy arrival periods, so do not assume you will be outside the terminal immediately after landing.
- Check your app's airport pickup instructions before ordering a ride as the driver may not be able to collect you directly outside any Arrivals exit. App-based taxi services can use designated airport pickup arrangements.
- Plan longer resort journeys before landing. Belek, Side, Kemer, and especially Alanya are much farther from AYT than Antalya city, so public transport can involve additional connections and considerably more travel time.
- Check your late-night transport before your flight as both trams and public buses are closed after midnight until 06:00.
