Overview

Alanya Airport to Çıralı is a shorter drive of 120 kilometres, taking around 1 hour 40 minutes through Antalya's pine-covered coastline to reach one of the region's quietest beach villages. At Alanya's arrivals hall, a Haqqi Tours driver already tracking your flight steps forward holding a board with your family's name, guiding you straight to the reserved V-Class or Sprinter for the pine-coast run toward Çıralı. Whatever your party's size, the figure for the whole car is worked out and confirmed on WhatsApp, in either language, well before the wheels start moving. Çıralı suits travellers who want a pebble beach without crowds, the ancient ruins of Olympos on the doorstep, and the natural flames of Chimaera burning on the hillside after dark, a very different pace from the resort strips nearer the airport.

About the destination

Tucked beneath pine-covered hills on Antalya's coast, Çıralı keeps its shoreline free of sunbeds and high-rises, protected as a nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, with the Lycian ruins of Olympos a short walk inland and the natural fires of Chimaera lighting the hillside after dark.

Good to know

  • Currency exchange counters and SIM kiosks are easiest to use before leaving Alanya Airport, since Çıralı's village shops rarely stock either.
  • Pass on your flight number when booking so pickup matches your actual landing time.
  • The coast road narrows near Olympos, so allow a little extra time in high season.
  • Bring cash or a card for the pebble beach's simple beachfront cafes.
  • Visit the Chimaera flames after sunset, when the natural fire is easiest to see.
  • Let us know a day ahead about any child seat so it is ready at pickup.
  • Çıralı has few shops, so pick up essentials before leaving the airport area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my driver meet me for the Cirali transfer at Alanya Airport?
Look for the Haqqi Tours board just beyond the luggage carousels in the arrivals hall, where your driver for the run out to Çıralı's pine coast will already be waiting.

No, the fare for your V-Class or Sprinter is settled and written down on WhatsApp days before you travel, and a midnight landing changes nothing about what you pay.
What if my flight into Alanya Airport runs late?
For the run out to Çıralı, a shift in your landing time only pushes back when the driver starts the pine-coast drive; the Alanya meeting point and the fare already agreed on WhatsApp both stay exactly as booked.

How much luggage fits in the car for a family trip to Cirali?
A full suitcase per person travels easily in either vehicle, plenty of room for the extra beach bags and snorkelling gear families bring for Çıralı's pebble shore.
