Alanya Airport to Alacati
Distance: 654 kmTravel time: 7 hours 15 minsNearest metro: Fahrettin Altay Metro Station
Overview
Alanya Airport to Alaçatı is a long cross-country drive of 654 kilometres, roughly 7 hours 15 minutes, crossing Turkey's southern coast before turning north to the Çeşme Peninsula. A route of this length is where a private Mercedes earns its keep, giving each passenger air conditioning, room to recline and a driver who has already tracked the incoming flight before waiting for you in arrivals with a name board. One figure covers the entire distance, worked out with you on WhatsApp in either Arabic or English ahead of the trip, leaving nothing to renegotiate once the drive is under way. Alaçatı rewards the distance with restored stone houses, boutique shopping streets and some of the Aegean's best windsurfing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a private car practical for such a long transfer to Alacati?
Yes, many families prefer a private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter for this distance, since you set your own pace, stop when you need to and travel without sharing the vehicle with strangers.
How long does the drive from Alanya Airport to Alacati take?
The route covers 654 kilometres and takes roughly 7 hours 15 minutes, crossing the southern coast before turning north toward the Çeşme Peninsula, with time varying slightly by traffic.
Where do I find my driver after landing at Alanya Airport?
Come through customs at Alanya and check near the exit doors for the Haqqi Tours sign with your surname; the driver assigned to the Alaçatı crossing has been tracking your flight since take-off, so nothing holds up the start of the long drive north.
Does the driver stop for rest on the way to Alacati?
Yes, on a route this long a short rest stop is normal and can be arranged along the way, so mention any preference for timing or location when you book.
Is the price for this long route still fixed in advance?
Before your flight into Alanya even leaves the ground, our coordinators work out the total for the run up to Alaçatı and send it to you in writing over WhatsApp, in Arabic or English, so what you agreed at booking is exactly what waits for you at the hotel.
Can I book a child seat for a journey this long?
Yes, note the seat type and how many you need while booking this long crossing, and our coordinators confirm the details on WhatsApp so the Mercedes is fitted before departure.
What happens if my flight into Alanya Airport arrives late?
Your flight is monitored from the moment it departs, so the driver's arrival simply follows the plane's actual landing at Alanya, with no charge added and no change to the price already agreed.
How do I pay for the Alanya Airport to Alacati transfer?
How you settle payment for the Alaçatı journey is agreed in the same WhatsApp conversation as the booking itself, in either language, so nothing is renegotiated once you land.
Is Alacati's centre easy to reach once we arrive?
Yes, the drop-off is at your actual address in Alaçatı, close enough to the old stone lanes and the windsurfing beaches that most guests reach both on foot afterwards.
What luggage space does the vehicle offer for a long trip?
Both the V-Class and the Sprinter hold a full case per passenger on this cross-country run, and a larger party or extra bags is simply something to mention while booking.
