Overview
Gazipaşa lies about 167 km east of Antalya Airport, and the Antalya Airport to Gazipasa transfer takes around 2 hours along a road that runs through banana groves and past smaller coastal villages before reaching the district. A name board greets you the moment you step past customs, and once your flight has been checked against the actual landing time, your group is walked straight to the waiting V-Class or Sprinter for the run out to Gazipaşa. The pace here is far slower than the main resort strip, with natural rock pools, quiet beaches and the ruins of ancient Selinus taking the place of large hotel complexes. Payment for the whole vehicle is settled by WhatsApp message days before you fly, leaving the eastern drive itself free of any further arranging. Families and couples wanting a genuinely quiet stretch of coast, away from the busier resorts further west, often choose this route.

- The eastern coast road is generally quieter than routes toward the main resort strip.
- Bring water shoes if you plan to explore the natural pools at Koru Beach.
- Ask about a stop at Selinus Ancient City if ruins interest your travelling group.
- Confirm your hotel name near the coast clearly, since some properties sit along unmarked lanes.

Frequently Asked Questions
At which point in the arrivals hall should we expect to see our driver after landing in Antalya?
Antalya Airport's arrivals hall has one exit past customs, and that is exactly where the Gazipaşa name board appears, matched to your flight number well before the run east through the banana groves begins.
How long is the Antalya Airport to Gazipasa drive usually?
The route covers roughly 167 km and typically takes around 2 hours, running past banana groves and smaller coastal villages before reaching the quieter district of Gazipaşa itself.
Is Gazipasa a good choice for travellers avoiding busy resorts?
Yes, Gazipaşa is known for natural rock pools, ancient ruins and a slower pace than the main resort strip, so it suits travellers wanting a quieter stretch of the Mediterranean coast.
Can we stop at Selinus Ancient City on the way in?
Selinus Ancient City sits within Gazipaşa itself, so a short visit can usually be arranged either on arrival or during your stay, rather than as a detour on the transfer itself.
Are child seats available for this longer eastern route?
Yes, mention each child's age while reserving the Gazipaşa transfer, and by the time your flight lands the matching booster or child seat is already fitted for the drive out past the banana groves.
What if our flight into Antalya arrives well after midnight?
The driver tracks your flight regardless of the hour, so a late-night landing does not change the booking. He remains inside arrivals for as long as it takes you to clear the terminal, and only then does the eastward run toward Gazipaşa get underway.
How is the price for the transfer to Gazipasa confirmed?
One flat rate applies to the entire vehicle for the Gazipaşa run, put in writing over WhatsApp ahead of departure, leaving nothing left to settle once you touch down.
Does the car stop to pick up anyone else along this route?
No stranger joins your party on this eastward stretch, since the V-Class or Sprinter travels for your group alone from the moment it leaves Antalya Airport until it reaches Gazipaşa.
Where in Gazipasa can the driver drop us, exactly?
Whichever hotel you have booked along Gazipaşa's coast, share its name or exact address when confirming the transfer, and the driver bypasses any central meeting point to bring you directly to that entrance instead.
What is there to do once we settle in near Gazipasa?
Natural pools at Koru Beach, the ruins of Selinus and further sites such as Antiochia ad Cragum are all close by, giving plenty to explore once the transfer ends.
