Dalaman Airport to Alacati
Distance: 350 kmTravel time: 4 hours 15 minsNearest metro: Fahrettin Altay Metro Station
Overview
Alacati lies well north of Dalaman, so this transfer is one of the longer drives we run from the airport, covering around three hundred and fifty kilometres in about four hours fifteen minutes. Your driver is inside the arrivals hall holding your name as soon as you land, having already checked your flight, and the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter is kept private to your group for the whole run north along the Aegean coast. Alacati's centre is built from narrow stone lanes lined with boutique hotels and restaurants, so being dropped directly at your door rather than finding a taxi from a bus stop matters more here than in a larger town. The full-distance fare is settled and put down in writing with you some time before you travel.

Good to know
- Confirm your exact hotel or street name in Alacati, since the old town has many similar lanes
- Buy a local SIM or exchange cash inside Dalaman's arrivals area before the long drive begins
- With over four hours on the road, plan a short stop if travelling with young children
- Evening arrivals in Alacati mean quieter streets for check-in, since the town is busiest by day
- Ask about parking near your hotel in advance, as some Alacati lanes are closed to larger vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Dalaman up to Alacati?
The route covers roughly three hundred and fifty kilometres and takes about four hours fifteen minutes, making it one of the longer private transfers we run from Dalaman.
Where exactly do we find our driver at Dalaman Airport?
Your driver is waiting just past the arrivals doors with a board carrying your name, so you are met the moment you come through from baggage claim.
Can the car reach the narrow streets in central Alacati?
Yes, our drivers know Alacati's stone lanes well and will get as close to your hotel door as the street allows, rather than leaving you to walk with luggage.
Is this transfer still private even over such a long distance?
Yes, the vehicle is yours alone for the entire four-hour drive, with no other passengers or stops beyond ones you ask for along the way.
How does a delayed landing into Dalaman affect this transfer?
A late touchdown into Dalaman simply pushes back when your Alaçatı driver starts the clock, since he follows the flight itself rather than a printed time, and he stays at the arrivals doors until you come through.
Do you fit child seats for a transfer this length?
Yes, request child or booster seats when booking and they are fitted in the vehicle before it collects you, at no change to the agreed price.
Is there a rest stop on the way to Alacati?
A short break partway through the drive can be arranged with your driver, useful on a route of this length, especially with young children on board.
How much does the transfer from Dalaman to Alacati cost?
The fare reflects the full distance covered and is confirmed with you in writing once you book, so the amount is settled well before travel day.
Can we be dropped at a specific restaurant or the marina instead of a hotel?
Yes, tell us your exact destination in Alacati, whether that is your hotel, a private address or the marina, and it is set as the drop-off point.
How is the booking confirmed once we arrange it?
A member of our team goes over your pickup time, vehicle and price with you personally, either in Arabic or English, over WhatsApp before your travel date.
