Side to Kemer

Side to Kemer transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Side, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Kemer. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Side to Kemer transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Side to Kemer 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 Kemer in Side is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Side, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Pickup in Side: hotel, address or port

Because the journey starts in Side itself, timing is yours to choose: an early start to beat the traffic and arrive in Kemer for lunch, or a late departure after checking out. The driver knows the road between the two, the price is agreed in advance for the whole vehicle, and the same conversation on WhatsApp can add the return or a transfer to the nearest airport at the other end.

If you are arriving in Side by ferry, bus or train and continuing to Kemer, give us the arrival time and the driver meets you at the port or station instead of the hotel - the same fixed price applies.

Taxi or private transfer from Side to Kemer?

The airport taxi fare from Side to Kemer is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Side to Kemer transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

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 Side to Kemer per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Kemer 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 Kemer, 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 Side to Kemer: is there a bus, train or metro?

There is no rail link from Antalya Airport to Side; the airport coaches stop in Manavgat, a taxi ride from the beach hotels, which is why almost every visitor arrives by pre-booked transfer.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Kemer 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 Side to Kemer transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Kemer

Side is a Roman city on a small peninsula about 65 km east of Antalya Airport, with its ancient theatre and temple columns standing right beside the hotels, beaches on both sides of the old town and the resort strips of Kumköy, Çolaklı and Evrenseki along the coast.

Around Kemer the areas travellers ask us about most are Kızılağaç and Kızılot, the old town on the peninsula, Kumköy and Side beach hotels and Çolaklı and Evrenseki westward. Tell us the hotel and the driver takes the best route into that part of Side on the day.

The things most people come to Side to see include the Manavgat river boat trips, Aspendos theatre nearby, Köprülü Canyon rafting, the Green Canyon lake and the Roman theatre of Side. Arriving by private transfer from Side means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.

Hotels in Kemer: where the transfer takes you

Our Side to Kemer transfer goes to any hotel, resort, apartment or private villa in Kemer and the rest of Side - Kumköy and Side beach hotels, Çolaklı and Evrenseki westward and Titreyengöl and Sorgun to the east included. Send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp; the driver will have the exact door, and the fixed price for the vehicle does not change with the hotel you choose.

Eating well after the Side to Kemer drive

Food is part of the arrival. Around Kemer you will find ice cream on the peninsula promenade, fish restaurants on the old harbour, Manavgat's piyaz and grilled meats and gözleme at the Manavgat market, and most of our drivers can tell you where they eat themselves. If you would rather go straight from Side to a table than to the hotel, mention it when you book and the driver drops you close by.

Best time to travel from Side to Kemer

The season runs April to November; summer is hot and dry, and Saturday and Sunday changeovers bring the busiest traffic on the D400 coast road from Antalya.

Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Kemer accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.

Meeting your driver at Side

Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Side - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. Flights are tracked, so a late landing simply moves the pickup; nobody leaves, and the price does not change.

Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Side.

Our vehicles for the Side to Kemer transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), 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.

The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Side: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.

Who books the Side to Kemer transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Side to Kemer? 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 Kemer - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Side - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

Families, groups and business travel from Side to Kemer

Business travellers book the Side to Kemer 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.

Whatever the group, the confirmation you receive lists the vehicle, the fixed price, the pickup time and the meeting point at Side - one message you can show anyone who asks.

How to book your Side to Kemer transfer

Send the form on this page, or write to us on WhatsApp: flight number, date, passengers, luggage and hotel. Within a few minutes a member of our team confirms your Side to Kemer transfer with the price fixed, the vehicle chosen and the meeting point at Side explained. Everything is in writing, in English or Arabic.

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 Side

Most Side hotels are in the beach villages rather than the old town itself - give us the hotel name and we send the driver to the exact gate, including the all-inclusive resorts set back from the road.

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

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Side.

Kemer to Side: the return transfer

Most guests book the return at the same time: a Kemer to Side transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Kemer based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Side, that is arranged in the same message.
