Your options
- Pre-booked private transfer: a fixed price agreed in advance, the driver tracks your flight and waits if it is delayed. The most comfortable choice for families and late arrivals.
- Taxi: metered, so the fare depends on traffic and route. Agree on the destination clearly and ask for the meter.
- Public transport: the cheapest option for Antalya city and some areas, but stops can be far from your hotel and it is awkward with large luggage. Check current routes before you rely on it.
- Hotel shuttle: many resorts offer one; ask in advance whether it is included or paid.
Tips for a smooth arrival
- Send your flight number to the transfer company so they can track delays.
- Ask whether the price is per vehicle or per person and whether child seats are available.
- Keep the hotel name and address on your phone, ideally in Turkish script too.
- Have a little Turkish lira or a working card for small expenses on arrival.
