Alanya Airport to Alanya
Distance: 40 kmTravel time: 35-45 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
The transfer from Alanya Airport to Alanya itself is short, covering 40 kilometres in about 35 to 45 minutes along the coast road into town. For many Gulf families this drive marks the true start of the holiday, and the same driver who tracked the flight now carries you from the terminal straight past the harbour into town. Whether the hotel sits by Cleopatra Beach, tucked under the castle or nearer the airport road, the fare for the V-Class or Sprinter is agreed on WhatsApp before you fly, in Arabic or English. No shared van, no waiting for other passengers, just your group and your luggage heading straight to the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I reach my Alanya hotel from the airport?
Alanya Airport sits close enough to town that the 40-kilometre coast road passes in 35 to 45 minutes, meaning bags are barely off the belt before the drive into Alanya begins.
Where exactly do I meet the driver at Alanya Airport?
Look for your name printed on a board just past the luggage carousel in the arrivals hall, where your driver waits before you finish clearing customs at Alanya Airport.
Is there a local market worth visiting near central Alanya hotels?
Alanya's old town holds a lively weekly market with fresh produce, spices and clothing stalls, an easy stop if you are staying centrally. Ask your driver or hotel reception for that week's exact day, since it can vary by season.
Can the driver take us close to Alanya Castle or the Red Tower?
Yes, if your hotel sits near the old town, the driver drops you close to these landmarks, and any specific address near the castle or harbour can be given when you book.
Do you provide child seats for the ride into Alanya?
Yes, mention your child's age on WhatsApp when confirming the Alanya booking, and the desk fits an appropriately sized seat into the V-Class or Sprinter well before the aircraft carrying your family touches down at Alanya Airport.
What if my flight into Alanya Airport lands late at night?
A night landing at Alanya Airport changes nothing about the pickup: the driver follows your flight number and is holding the name board whenever the wheels touch down.
How is the price for this short transfer worked out?
One figure covers the whole car for this short run into Alanya, agreed with you on WhatsApp ahead of travel, so a hotel just off the harbour costs the same as one closer to the airport road.
Can the driver drop us near Cleopatra Beach?
Certainly, several central hotels sit just steps from Cleopatra Beach and the old harbour, so simply share your accommodation's exact address when booking and the driver plans the final approach through Alanya's beachfront streets accordingly.
How much luggage fits for a family transfer to Alanya?
Every seat in the V-Class or Sprinter has matching luggage space, so beach bags, buggies and extra suitcases for a family holiday in Alanya all travel in the same car.
Is this a shared ride with other arriving passengers?
No, every Haqqi Tours transfer is a private vehicle booked for your group alone, so nobody else is added to the car on the short drive into Alanya.
