Getting from Antalya Airport to the Side Coast
Published on October 4, 2026
A practical guide to booking your private taxi from Antalya Airport to the Side resort area, covering meeting points, journey times, and what to expect on the road.
Getting to your holiday accommodation along the Side coastline is much simpler when you arrange your travel details in advance. The stretch of coast from Gündoğdu in the west to Titreyengöl in the east is home to dozens of resorts, and a private vehicle offers a direct route straight to your hotel lobby.
Opting for a private vehicle means you do not have to sit on a shared shuttle bus that makes a dozen stops at different resorts before reaching your own. Instead, you go straight to your destination with only your own travelling companions on board.
Booking your journey to the coast
To secure your vehicle, you only need to provide a few essential details: your scheduled landing time at Antalya Airport (AYT), your flight number, your destination hotel, and the total number of travellers in your party.
If you are carrying oversized items such as golf bags, pushchairs, or extra-large suitcases, please mention this when you get in touch so we can ensure the vehicle has ample space.
The price you receive is a single, fixed figure for the entire vehicle, not a rate per person. This amount is agreed in writing before you travel, so you know exactly what is required.
If you need safety seats for younger travellers, we can provide baby seats, child seats, or booster cushions suitable for any age group. Please specify these requirements when you book. These seats are always a paid extra, and the cost will be added to the final agreed rate.
Finding your driver at Antalya Airport
After landing, clearing passport control, and collecting your luggage, make your way to the arrivals area. You will find your driver waiting for you at Welcome desk No:36 Hana Travel. They will be holding a board clearly displaying your name, so you can easily identify them.
Flight schedules can change, but you do not need to worry about being delayed on the tarmac. We monitor the progress of your incoming flight. If your plane lands later than scheduled, your pickup time is automatically adjusted, and your driver will be waiting at the desk when you walk out.
The drive east on the D400 highway
Once you are in your private vehicle, your journey to the resort area begins. The route takes you east out of the airport area onto the D400 highway, the main road connecting Antalya to the eastern coast.
This route runs past the turn-offs for Belek and crosses over the Köprüçay river as you enter the Manavgat district. The road is broad and easy to travel, making for a smooth journey as you head towards the coast.
Depending on where your hotel is located, your travel time and distance will vary. Here are the typical driving times and distances from Antalya Airport to the main resort areas on this stretch of coast:
