Dalaman Airport to Kas
Distance: 148 kmTravel time: 2-2.5 hrsNearest metro: None
Overview
The road that runs Dalaman Airport to Kas (Kaş) covers about 148 km along the Teke Peninsula and takes somewhere between two and two and a half hours, depending on the stretch through the hills above the coast. A Haqqi Tours coordinator confirms your fare over WhatsApp, in Arabic or English, so nothing is left to settle on arrival, and your driver is already watching your flight number before you land. Travelling in a private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter, your group is never paired with strangers for the ride. Kaş itself is worth the longer drive: a whitewashed old town built over Lycian rock tombs, a working harbour, and some of the clearest diving water on this coast.

- Diving gear and extra bags fit best if mentioned to us when booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does the driver wait at Dalaman Airport for the Kaş transfer?
Look for the arrivals doors as you clear the terminal; your driver is stationed right there holding your name board, already tracking the flight before it lands.
How long should I expect the drive to Kaş to take?
Budget two to two and a half hours for the 148 km run across the Teke Peninsula, most of it climbing through hills before the road drops into Kaş.
Is a child seat available for the journey to Kaş?
Yes. Passing along the child's age when this Dalaman to Kaş booking is made lets the crew fit the correct seat inside the vehicle well before the climb across the Teke Peninsula toward the harbour gets underway.
What if my flight into Dalaman arrives after midnight?
A late landing into Dalaman changes nothing about the pickup; the driver watches your flight number and still waits inside arrivals whenever you come through.
Does the vehicle make any stops between the airport and Kaş?
The car drives directly to your Kaş address; mention in advance if your group would like a short pause on the hill road first.
How many suitcases fit in the car for a family heading to Kaş?
Both vehicles handle a full suitcase per person with room left for the dive bags and snorkelling gear many guests bring on this route.
Can the driver speak Arabic on the Kaş route?
Our desk confirms the booking on WhatsApp in Arabic or English, and drivers on the Dalaman to Kaş road regularly welcome Arabic-speaking families.
What happens if my connecting flight to Dalaman is delayed?
Your flight number stays on our radar, so a delay only moves the driver's expected pickup time, never the car or the meeting point itself.
Will other passengers share the ride to Kaş with my family?
No, the Dalaman to Kaş transfer is private throughout, with the car and driver kept for your group alone the entire 148 km.
How is payment for the Kaş transfer arranged?
Our desk fixes this Kaş fare and confirms it over WhatsApp several days ahead of your Dalaman departure, so when the driver reaches the harbour there is only the agreed amount left to hand over.
