Overview

Antalya Airport marks the start of this three-hour, 211-kilometre climb into the pine mountains above Ölüdeniz, and rather than leaving you to arrange transport on arrival, Haqqi Tours has a driver already tracking your flight so the private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter assigned to your family begins loading the moment you reach arrivals. Payment is settled ahead of time too, since the fare for this transfer is fixed and written down on WhatsApp well before your flight departs, so nothing is negotiated once you land. Ölüdeniz draws travellers for one reason above all, the Blue Lagoon's still turquoise water framed by pine-covered cliffs, with paragliders drifting down from Mount Babadağ overhead through much of the year. This route suits couples and active families chasing that view rather than a standard beach stay.

Good to know

  • Book paragliding a day ahead through your hotel, since good weather slots fill quickly in season.
  • Pack a light jacket even in summer, as the mountain road into Ölüdeniz can feel cooler at altitude.
  • Withdraw cash at Antalya Airport, as options thin out once you are on the coastal road.
  • Keep swimwear in your hand luggage if you want to reach the Blue Lagoon on arrival day.
  • Sit on the right side of the car for the best sea views as the road descends.
  • Ask your driver about boat departure points for Butterfly Valley near your hotel.
  • Save the driver's WhatsApp number in case your flight schedule changes before you land.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the driver meet us inside Antalya Airport?
Your Haqqi Tours driver stands inside the arrivals hall holding a board with your name, positioned so you see it the moment you clear customs, ready to begin the coastal drive out toward Ölüdeniz and the Blue Lagoon.
How long is the drive to Ölüdeniz from the airport?
Around 3 hours covering roughly 211 km, mostly along the coastal road that climbs and descends through pine forest.
Can we request child seats for the mountain road?
Yes, tell us your children's ages on WhatsApp when you book, and the seat is already fitted in the Mercedes before the driver sets off for the winding road up toward Ölüdeniz.
Is the vehicle shared with other tourists heading the same way?
No, whichever vehicle you take, V-Class or Sprinter, it is reserved only for your party for the whole run to Ölüdeniz, with nobody else added along the coastal road.
What if our flight into Antalya is delayed?
Delays are handled by flight tracking on our end, so your driver simply adjusts when he arrives at the arrivals hall rather than the timing of the Ölüdeniz drive itself changing.
How much luggage can the car handle for paragliding gear?
There is enough boot space for standard family luggage; if you are carrying sports equipment, mention it when booking so we send the right vehicle.
Does the driver stop anywhere on the way to Ölüdeniz?
A short stop can be arranged along the mountain road if requested in advance, though most transfers run directly through.
Can the driver drop us right at a hotel above the Blue Lagoon?
Yes, give us your hotel name and the driver takes you door to door, whether that is by the beach or higher on the hillside.
Is there public transport between Antalya Airport and Ölüdeniz?
Buses do run this route with a change in Fethiye, though our service is a private car straight through with no transfers.
What should we expect on arrival at night?
A late landing changes nothing about the service itself: the driver is waiting whatever time you land, and the approach into Ölüdeniz along the coast is manageable after dark as well.
