Airport Transfer to Side — Comfortable and Reliable

Antalya Airport to Side: distance, journey time and vehicle

Side lies around 65 km from the terminal, typically about 65 minutes by private transfer. The drive follows the coastal highway east, and hotels are spread between Side's old town, Kumköy and Çolaklı, so your exact address decides the final stretch.

Over a distance like this the season matters most: summer traffic along the coast road, and how far your hotel sits from the centre at the far end, both add to the drive. We track your flight, so a delayed landing simply moves the pickup, at no extra charge.

Choosing the right vehicle for Side

On a long drive, legroom and luggage space count for more than they do on the short hops:

• VIP minivan — 1–6 passengers and up to 6 suitcases; the usual choice for couples, families and business travellers.
• Minibus — 7–14 passengers; multi-family trips and smaller groups travelling together.
• Midibus — 15–24 passengers; medium-sized groups and events.
• Coach bus — 25–45 passengers; weddings, tour groups and large events.

Most guests travelling to Side book both directions at the same time. The arrival leg runs from Antalya Airport to your hotel in Side; the return leg collects you at the hotel at an agreed time and brings you back to the terminal for your flight home. If you would rather decide later, message the same WhatsApp thread during your stay and we will add the return then.

Not sure which suits your party? Compare a VIP transfer with a group transfer, or check the FAQ page for luggage and child-seat questions — child and booster seats are available free of charge on request.
