Alanya Airport to Manavgat
Distance: 101.5 kmTravel time: 1 hour 45 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
The road connecting Alanya Airport with Manavgat stays close along the coast for most of its short length, keeping this transfer among the fastest we arrange out of Alanya. At Alanya Airport your driver has your surname on a board and steps forward the moment you clear the doors, moving your bags into the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter waiting outside for the short run toward the river town. Manavgat is known for its river and waterfall, a busy weekly bazaar, and easy access to the ancient ruins at nearby Side, so travellers often use it as a quieter base a short drive from the coast. Nobody else is seated in your vehicle for this Manavgat run, and the single fare covering it is put in writing with you on WhatsApp before the day of travel.

How quickly can we reach Manavgat from Alanya Airport?
This is one of our shortest transfers, around 101.5 km and roughly 1 hour 45 minutes depending on traffic near the town centre. This is useful to know given how quick the hop out to Manavgat usually is.
Is a child seat included for young children on this route?

How much luggage fits for a family heading to Manavgat?
Both the V-Class and Sprinter offer solid boot space, enough for family suitcases and a few extra bags without any squeeze. That matters on a route many guests treat as a base for exploring Side.
How do I settle payment for this transfer?
Our desk settles one number with you over WhatsApp before you set off, so paying the driver at the end of this short hop is simply a matter of handing over what was already agreed.
What if my flight into Alanya runs late?
Your driver follows the live flight tracker, so any delay simply shifts your pickup time with no impact on your fare. This holds true for both the weekday and weekend rhythm of Manavgat's bazaar.

No, the drive is direct and private; a stop only happens if you request one, such as near the town's waterfall. It removes any guesswork before settling into a quieter riverside stay.
Will strangers be riding in the same car?
Correct, this short hop to Manavgat is run exclusively for the people on your booking, with the seats around you kept empty for the whole ride. This applies to every pickup we run on this shorter Manavgat road.
Is Manavgat a good base for visiting Side's ruins?
