Overview
This transfer takes you onward from an Antalya stay to Demre, around 140 kilometres and about two hours thirty minutes along the coast, without routing back through the airport. Instead of an arrivals meeting, your driver collects you from your Antalya hotel lobby at an agreed time, giving you a proper morning before the road trip begins. Demre itself is known for the Church of St Nicholas and the ancient ruins of Myra rather than a resort strip, so we confirm your exact accommodation name at booking given how compact the district is. The V-Class or Sprinter is reserved for your group alone, and the fare for the whole hotel-to-hotel journey is fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel.

Good to know
- Share a landmark near your Antalya hotel's entrance if the building has more than one access point.
- Choose a departure time that avoids the busiest hour on the road leaving central Antalya.
- Pack a light bag separately for the day if main luggage travels ahead of you.
- Share your Demre accommodation's full name in advance, since the district has few marked streets.
- Plan a separate visit to the Myra ruins rather than combining it with the drive itself.
- Comfortable footwear helps at the Church of St Nicholas site, which involves some outdoor walking.
- Bring water for the road, since stopping options thin out along the smaller coastal stretch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the driver pick us up for the Demre transfer?
The driver arrives at your Antalya hotel's lobby or main entrance at the time you agree with us in advance, so there is no need to reach a separate meeting point yourself.
How long does the road from Antalya to Demre take?
Around two hours and thirty minutes covers the roughly 140-kilometre coastal drive, with the exact time depending on traffic leaving Antalya and conditions further along the route.
Can we choose a mid-morning departure rather than an early one?
Yes, since this transfer starts at your hotel rather than an airport, you set the departure time that fits your plans and we arrange the driver to match it.
Does the driver know exactly where to find our accommodation in Demre?
Yes, we confirm your hotel or guesthouse name and address at booking, since Demre is a smaller district and needs the precise location for a direct drop-off.
Can you fit a child seat for this road transfer?
Yes, share your child's age with us at the time of booking, and the seat matching that age is fixed in place well ahead of the vehicle's arrival at your Antalya hotel lobby.
Is the car reserved just for our group on this route?
Yes, whichever vehicle is assigned for the Demre run travels with your party alone from the Antalya hotel lobby to your Demre accommodation, and no other booking is combined with yours.
What if we need to move our departure time closer to the date?
A quick WhatsApp message the moment your plans shift is enough, and the driver's collection time at your Antalya hotel is moved to match whatever new time suits your Demre trip.
Will we have time to see the Church of St Nicholas after arriving?
Most guests settle in first and visit the church and Myra ruins separately, and our team can help you plan the timing once you know your schedule.
How do we agree the fare for this hotel-to-hotel route?
One figure covers the entire hotel-to-hotel distance to Demre, written out and agreed with you on WhatsApp days ahead, so the amount is already settled long before the driver arrives.
Is there space for luggage plus any equipment from our Antalya stay?
Both vehicles carry generous luggage, so beach bags or extra cases from Antalya travel comfortably alongside whatever you bring on to Demre. Something like snorkelling or diving gear is easy to flag ahead of the day, so the driver arrives already sized correctly for the coastal-to-Demre run instead of at the roadside.
