Overview

Kepez sits on the northern edge of Antalya, and the drive over from Izmir Airport to Kepez runs about 454 kilometres, usually taking around five hours and fifteen minutes. You are met inside the terminal itself, not out at the curb, by a uniformed driver holding your name, which spares you from scanning signage after a long flight. The car is matched to your party size, either a Mercedes V-Class or the larger Sprinter, and it travels only for you, with no other bookings mixed in. Your rate is locked in and confirmed via WhatsApp chat before the trip begins, so nothing changes once you are on the road. Kepez has grown quickly around its waterfalls and green parks, making it a relaxed base away from the busier tourist strips, well suited to families who prefer quieter surroundings after a long journey.
