Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Kaleici (Old Town) in Antalya is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Antalya Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Antalya Airport (AYT)
Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 12 km east of the city centre with two international terminals side by side; Lara is 10 minutes away, Belek half an hour, Side and Kemer about an hour.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Antalya Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "AYT to Kaleici (Old Town)" or "AYT airport transfer" land here for a reason: AYT is the airport code for Antalya Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Kaleici (Old Town).
Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town), door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Antalya Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup.

Taxi or private transfer from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)?
The airport taxi fare from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Kaleici (Old Town) involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Kaleici (Old Town), work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town): is there a bus, train or metro?
The AntRay tram runs from Antalya Airport (AYT) into the centre but not to the resorts; Belek, Side, Kemer and Alanya are reached by road, and the shuttle buses stop at fixed points.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Kaleici (Old Town) once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Kaleici (Old Town)
Antalya is the capital of the Turkish Riviera: a walled old harbour (Kaleiçi) under the Taurus mountains, a long beach coast running east to Lara, Belek and Side and west to Kemer, and one of the busiest holiday airports in the Mediterranean.
Staying near Kaleici (Old Town) puts you within easy reach of Lara and the beach hotels east of the city, Konyaaltı beach on the western side, Belek and its golf resorts and Kemer and the pine-coast resorts westward - each a different side of Antalya, and each a short drive once your bags are at the hotel.
On the list for most visitors to Antalya: the old harbour, Düden Waterfalls, the ruins of Perge and Aspendos theatre, Konyaaltı beach and the Beach Park and the Antalya Museum. Many guests ask the driver on the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) drive which to do first - they have an opinion, and it is usually right.
Hotels in Kaleici (Old Town): where the transfer takes you
Our Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer goes to any hotel, resort, apartment or private villa in Kaleici (Old Town) and the rest of Antalya - Kaleiçi, the old town and marina, Lara and the beach hotels east of the city and Konyaaltı beach on the western side included. Send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp; the driver will have the exact door, and the fixed price for the vehicle does not change with the hotel you choose.
Eating well after the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) drive
The first meal in Antalya sets the tone: künefe for dessert, piyaz and Antalya-style tandır, grilled fish on the old harbour and gözleme in the villages are the local answers. A late flight into Antalya Airport is no problem - tell the WhatsApp desk the landing time and they will point you to what is open near Kaleici (Old Town) when you arrive.
Best time to travel from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)
The season runs from April to November with hot, dry summers; the airport is at its busiest on summer weekends, when the coast road east towards Side and Alanya fills with transfers from every hotel.
Seasonal traffic is the driver's problem, not yours: the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) price is agreed in advance and a slower drive costs nothing extra. If you are travelling at a busy time, let the desk know your plans for the day of arrival and they will suggest the best pickup timing.
Meeting your driver at Antalya Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Antalya Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Antalya Airport.
Our vehicles for the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Kaleici (Old Town) and the ride back to Antalya Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
Families, groups and business travel from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)
Business travellers book the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer for certainty rather than comfort, though they get both: a name board at arrivals, a quiet, clean car, a driver who knows the route to the hotel or the office, and a receipt for expenses. Early meetings, late flights and last-minute changes are normal on this route, and the WhatsApp desk handles them without fuss.
Whatever the group, the confirmation you receive lists the vehicle, the fixed price, the pickup time and the meeting point at Antalya Airport - one message you can show anyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Antalya Airport?
At the place named in your confirmation: for Antalya Airport that is either the airport's official meeting point or the arrivals exit, where the driver holds a board with your name. The message also gives the driver's number, so if you cannot see them a one-line WhatsApp sorts it in a moment.
How far is Kaleici (Old Town) from Antalya Airport, and how long does the transfer take?
It is a direct drive. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Kaleici (Old Town).
Is there a bus, train or metro from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)?
The AntRay tram runs from Antalya Airport (AYT) into the centre but not to the resorts; Belek, Side, Kemer and Alanya are reached by road, and the shuttle buses stop at fixed points. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Antalya Airport is delayed?
Nothing you need to do. Every Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is flight-tracked, so your driver's pickup time moves with your real landing time. If you are held up at baggage or passport control, a quick message on WhatsApp keeps the driver informed. Waiting time is included.

You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Yours alone. No other passengers, no pickup of strangers on the way, no waiting for a shuttle to fill - the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer is one vehicle for your group at one fixed price.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
How much luggage can I bring?
A normal suitcase and a cabin bag per person is comfortable in every vehicle. If you are bringing more - extra cases, a stroller, sports equipment or a wheelchair - tell us on WhatsApp and we send a vehicle with the space for it.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and the normal waiting time after your flight lands. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town)?

How far in advance should I book the Antalya Airport to Kaleici (Old Town) transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.

The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
