Kemer to Side Transfer

Kemer to Side transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Kemer to Side depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Kemer to Side airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Kemer to Side route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Side in Kemer is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Kemer, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

How far is Side from Kemer?

The distance from Kemer to Side is about 115 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 1 hour 45 minutes. Allow a little extra at peak hours; outside them the drive is relaxed and direct. Because the Kemer to Side transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.

For planning, count on 1 hour 45 minutes plus the time to collect your luggage and clear passport control at Kemer; up to 60 minutes of waiting (90 at some airports) is included.

Pickup in Kemer: hotel, address or port

A Kemer to Side transfer by road is booked like any other: tell us where in Kemer you are staying and when you would like to go, and a private car or van collects you at the door. There is no station to reach first and no timetable to fit - you set the departure time - and if you would like a stop on the way, for a viewpoint, a meal or a photograph, the desk quotes it as part of the same journey.

For a hotel pickup we ask for the hotel's full name and, in a large resort area, the gate or reception to use; for a private address, a map pin is ideal. The driver's name and number arrive with the confirmation so you can message on the morning if plans move.

Taxi or private transfer from Kemer to Side?

An airport taxi from Kemer to Side means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Kemer to Side per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Side involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Side, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Kemer to Side: is there a bus, train or metro?

No train serves Kemer; the airport coach reaches Kemer bus station, not the beach hotels, and Beldibi, Çamyuva and Tekirova are spread over 30 km of coast road.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Side once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Kemer to Side transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Side

Side occupies a narrow peninsula on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, its old quarter built among the columns and stonework of a much older Greco-Roman settlement, with long sandy beaches stretching away on either side.

Side is known for Temple of Apollo - Side Museum. Arriving by private transfer means you reach them rested, with your luggage already at the hotel.

Staying near Side puts you within easy reach of the Tahtalı mountain foothills, Kemer town centre and marina, Beldibi and Göynük to the north and Kiriş and Çamyuva - each a different side of Kemer, and each a short drive once your bags are at the hotel.

Where to stay in Side

Whatever you have booked in Side, the transfer is door to door. Guests often stay at Barut Hemera - Acanthus & Cennet Barut Collection, all of which our drivers know well, and any other address in Side is fine too - simply tell us where.

Eating out in Side

Side is a good place to eat well: Karma Restaurant - Orfoz Restaurant are all well regarded, and your driver can drop you close by if you would rather go straight to a table than to the hotel.

Getting around Side

The nearest public transport to the centre of Side is No Metro Station. It is useful for short hops once you are settled; for the airport journey itself, with luggage, the private Kemer to Side transfer is the easier and usually the cheaper option per person. If you would like a car for a day trip or a return to Kemer later, the same WhatsApp desk arranges it.

Best time to travel from Kemer to Side

April to November is the season, with hot summers cooled by the mountains; the coast road through the tunnels south of Antalya is busiest on summer weekends.

Seasonal traffic is the driver's problem, not yours: the Kemer to Side price is agreed in advance and a slower drive costs nothing extra. If you are travelling at a busy time, let the desk know your plans for the day of arrival and they will suggest the best pickup timing.

Meeting your driver at Kemer

Every airport is laid out differently, and Kemer is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Kemer to Side transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Kemer.

Our vehicles for the Kemer to Side transfer

For this route we offer Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Side and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Kemer to Side transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Kemer to Side? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

If your trip continues beyond Side - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Kemer - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

Families, groups and business travel from Kemer to Side

Business travellers book the Kemer to Side transfer for certainty rather than comfort, though they get both: a name board at arrivals, a quiet, clean car, a driver who knows the route to the hotel or the office, and a receipt for expenses. Early meetings, late flights and last-minute changes are normal on this route, and the WhatsApp desk handles them without fuss.

Honeymooners, solo travellers and couples take the sedan; if you are unsure which vehicle suits your group and luggage, send the numbers on WhatsApp and the desk recommends one before you pay.

How to book your Kemer to Side transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Side. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Kemer

Kemer hotels are spread from Beldibi to Tekirova, a half-hour difference in drive time - tell us the exact resort so the pickup is timed and priced correctly.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Kemer, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Side to Kemer: the return transfer

Heading back to Kemer at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Side; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.

The Side to Kemer leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Kemer to Side

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Kemer to Side route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
