Alanya Airport to Muratpasa
Distance: 170 kmTravel time: 2-2.5 hoursNearest metro: Muratpaşa Tram Station (AntRay)
Overview
Muratpaşa is central Antalya, and the drive there from Alanya Airport covers about 170 km, usually taking 2 to 2.5 hours along the coastal road. Before your wheels touch down, the assigned driver is already positioned in arrivals with your name clearly displayed, ready to walk your group out to either the V-Class or, for bigger parties, a Sprinter. This district holds the old town of Kaleiçi, the historic Hadrian's Gate and the Old City Marina, so it suits travellers who want a city break with history on the doorstep rather than a resort strip. Because Muratpaşa's lanes narrow considerably near Kaleiçi, the same driver stays with you from the terminal all the way to the hotel door, with the price already settled before departure.

Good to know
- Sort out cash or a local SIM inside the terminal, since central Muratpaşa's old streets have fewer such counters nearby
- Confirm whether your hotel sits inside Kaleiçi, since narrow lanes can affect drop-off points
- City-centre traffic can be heavier near check-in and check-out times, so plan accordingly
- Wear comfortable shoes if you want to explore the old town soon after arrival
- Keep your booking reference ready in case the driver needs to reach you
- Muratpaşa's AntRay tram is handy for later trips once you have settled in
- Ask your driver for a quick photo stop near Hadrian's Gate if time allows
Frequently Asked Questions
Where in Alanya Airport should I look for my driver to Muratpasa?
Look for a Haqqi Tours name board just inside the arrivals hall at Alanya, held up well before the last set of exit doors so it is easy to spot on the way through.
Does the transfer to central Antalya still run for a night flight?
Yes, the driver tracks your flight and is present whatever time you land, then drives you into Muratpaşa the same way as a daytime pickup.
How long is the drive from Alanya Airport into central Antalya?
Expect around 170 km and 2 to 2.5 hours, with timing depending on traffic as you enter the city centre. This matters most for guests planning to spend their first evening in Kaleiçi.
Can I book a child seat for a visit to Kaleiçi?
Mention your child's age while booking and the appropriate seat is already installed for the Muratpaşa run, included as part of the fare you agree beforehand.
Is there enough luggage space for a city-break suitcase or two?
Both the V-Class and Sprinter offer solid boot capacity, comfortable for city-break luggage or a family's full set of bags. It keeps the whole city-break transfer straightforward from terminal to hotel door.
How is the price for this route settled?
A written figure is settled with you over WhatsApp ahead of the flight, so the amount for reaching Muratpaşa is already known before you touch down. That is useful to know before navigating Muratpaşa's narrow historic streets.
What if my flight into Alanya is delayed?
Live flight monitoring means the driver's wait simply stretches to match a late arrival at Alanya, with the agreed fare for the Muratpaşa transfer staying the same. This holds true whether your stay centres on the old town or the marina.
Does the car stop anywhere before reaching Muratpasa?
No, the drive is direct and private; a stop such as near Hadrian's Gate happens only if you specifically ask for one. It removes any uncertainty before your first walk through Hadrian's Gate.
Is the car shared with any other travellers?
No, your booking reserves the vehicle only for your group, with nobody else riding along on the way into the city. This applies to every transfer we run into central Antalya's old quarter.
Is Kaleiçi's old town walkable from most Muratpasa hotels?
Yes, many hotels sit close to or inside Kaleiçi, so once dropped off you can explore the old streets and marina on foot. It is one reason city-break travellers favour this particular route.
