Overview

Antalya Airport to Çıralı is one of the shorter runs we offer, around 95 kilometres and about an hour and thirty minutes along a coastal road that winds down through pine forest to a quiet pebble beach shut off from development. The driver assigned to your Çıralı transfer checks your flight number in advance and is waiting at arrivals with your name displayed, a detail that matters since many travellers to this village land well after sunset. Because Çıralı's bungalow hotels sit along unnamed forest tracks rather than numbered streets, the operations desk confirms your specific property by name before travel and writes out the full Çıralı fare on WhatsApp days ahead, so nothing is left to work out after you land. It suits couples and families wanting a direct, private run straight to a peaceful base near Olympos and the Lycian coast.

Good to know

  • Collect luggage first; your driver waits just outside arrivals with a name board ready.
  • Change a little currency at Antalya Airport, since Çıralı itself has very few exchange options.
  • Confirm your bungalow or hotel name clearly, as street addresses barely exist in this village.
  • The final stretch is a quiet forest road, pleasant even for a first arrival after dark.
  • Pack reef shoes if visiting the pebble beach, which suits sandals less than a sandy shore.
  • Ask about a short stop near Olympos when booking if your group wants to see the ruins.
  • Evenings cool quickly near the pine hills, so keep a light layer in your hand luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the driver meet us for the Çıralı transfer?
At Antalya Airport your Çıralı driver stands near the arrivals doors holding a board with your name, already aware of your flight number; the short pebble-beach route means bags barely reach the carousel before the car is loaded and moving toward the coast.
How long does the drive from Antalya Airport to Çıralı take?
Around an hour and thirty minutes covers the roughly 95-kilometre coastal road, making it one of the quicker private transfers we arrange from Antalya Airport.
Is a late-night arrival a problem for such a small village?
Not at all, your driver tracks your flight and knows the unmarked turnings into Çıralı well, so a night landing reaches your bungalow just as smoothly as a daytime one.
Can you fit a child seat for this short transfer?
Mention your child's age when you message our desk about this Çıralı run, and the seat is already secured under the pine-forest canopy road before the driver leaves for Antalya Airport, ready the moment your flight touches down.
Does the driver know how to find our specific hotel without a street address?
Yes, Çıralı has few marked streets, so our drivers rely on hotel names and landmarks, and we always confirm the property with you before the transfer date.
Is Çıralı beach protected for sea turtle nesting?
Yes, Çıralı's beach is a protected nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles during the summer months, so some sections may have restricted access or lighting rules at night, which most guesthouses will explain once you check in.
Is the fare fixed for the whole trip to Çıralı?
The full 95-kilometre fare to Çıralı is worked out and confirmed with you on WhatsApp ahead of travel, so the figure covers the whole run to your accommodation with no adjustments later.
Can we stop briefly near Olympos on the way in?
The standard Çıralı transfer goes straight to your accommodation without stops, but drivers can sometimes pull in briefly near the Olympos turning if you flag the request while booking.
Will our vehicle be shared with other arriving passengers?
No, the car is reserved for your group only, even on this shorter route, so no other travellers join your journey to Çıralı. Our coordinators are happy to answer anything further about this particular stretch to Çıralı before you travel.
How is payment for the Çıralı transfer arranged?
Payment is agreed with our team on WhatsApp once your booking is confirmed, well before the driver is assigned to meet your flight. You are welcome to double-check this arrangement with us again closer to your Çıralı travel date.
