Kızılağaç Taxi from Antalya Airport — Private Car, Fixed Fare, Straight to Your Hotel

Most people who book a Kızılağaç transfer are bound for one of the big beach resorts strung along the shore east of where the Manavgat river runs into the sea: Ali Bey Club Manavgat, Sunis Elita, TUI Blue Palm Garden or Washington Resort, to name a few. The hotels have sprawling gardens and several pools each, and in front of them runs a long beach where sand is mixed with fine shingle.

Between the resorts and the main road you find fields, village houses and a few small shops; plenty of hotel addresses give the neighbouring quarter of Karacalar. Manavgat town, with its riverside promenade and excursion boats, is a few minutes’ drive inland.

Across the river: the road from AYT

Leaving the airport, the car turns east onto the D400 and stays on it for nearly the whole journey. First the exits for Belek slide past, then the turn-offs for Side, and finally Manavgat itself, where the road crosses the river. Just beyond the town the driver leaves the highway and heads for the coast. The total is 78 km, normally about 70 minutes.

Who greets you in the arrivals hall

When passport control and baggage reclaim are done, make for Welcome desk No:36 Hana Travel. Your driver is standing there with a sign that bears your name. We watch your flight live, so if the plane comes in two hours late or half an hour early, the pickup simply follows it. You do not have to call, and the delay costs nothing extra.

Airport taxi to Side’s eastern resorts: picking a vehicle

Plenty of families holiday in Kızılağaç, and families seldom travel light. A saloon is enough for three people with three suitcases. From four travellers, or with a lot of luggage, go for the Mercedes Vito, which seats up to six; the VIP version has leather seats and Wi-Fi. Parties of seven upwards get a Sprinter, with 13 or 16 seats depending on numbers. Put prams, golf bags or a wheelchair in your first message. Baby seats, child seats and boosters come on request and are always charged on top of the fare.

At the resort barrier

The large complexes usually have a manned gate. The driver gives your name to security and, in most cases, drives on to the lobby, where the cases are unloaded at reception. If you have rented a villa or flat further inland, share a location pin: the village lanes around Kızılağaç are not all signposted.

The trip home and a few side trips

For the way back, send us your departure time and the office proposes a pickup that leaves room for check-in. Shorter rides can go on the same booking: an evening in Side old town on the far bank of the river, a boat trip in Manavgat, or the waterfall north of the town.

Reserving your Side airport transfer

Tell us the flight number, the day and time it lands, where you are staying and the size of your party, with the ages of any children. We answer with one written price that covers the whole vehicle. There is no deposit and no card details are needed; you pay the driver after arrival, usually in cash.
