The Ultimate Guide: Transfer from Antalya Airport to Eftalia Hotels in Alanya

Are you ready for an unforgettable family vacation at one of the Eftalia Hotels? Whether you’ve booked Eftalia Ocean, Eftalia Marin, Eftalia Village, or Eftalia Splash, your holiday excitement begins the moment you land at Antalya Airport (AYT). However, located approximately 105 kilometers (65 miles) away in the Türkler district of Alanya, getting there requires a bit of planning. In this 2026 guide, we break down the best ways to get from Antalya Airport to Eftalia Hotels safely and comfortably.

Where are the Eftalia Hotels Located?

The Eftalia hotel group is concentrated in the Türkler region, which is about 15-20 minutes before you reach Alanya city center. This is a massive advantage because it cuts your transfer time compared to hotels located on the far east side of Alanya. Most guests choose these hotels for the famous Eftalia Island—the giant beach park and water kingdom shared by the resorts.

1. Private VIP Transfer: Why it’s the #1 Choice for Eftalia Guests

Eftalia resorts are designed for families. When you are traveling with children, strollers, and heavy suitcases, a private VIP transfer isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity.

• Direct Travel: You go straight from the airport to your specific Eftalia lobby. No stopping at 10 other hotels along the way.
• Space for Everyone: Our Mercedes Vito and VW Transporter vehicles easily fit 7 passengers plus luggage, ensuring everyone has a comfortable seat.
• Baby & Child Seats: Safety is a priority. Pre-booked VIP transfers provide secure car seats for the little ones, something you won't always find in local taxis.
• Cost-Effective for Groups: When you split the cost of a VIP van among a family of 4 or 5, it often costs the same as a shared shuttle but saves you nearly an hour of travel time.

2. Shared Shuttle Bus Options

There are several shuttle operators at Antalya Airport that serve the Alanya-Türkler route.
Pros: The cheapest way for solo travelers or couples.
Cons: You may have to wait at the airport for up to an hour for other flights to land. Since Eftalia Hotels are part of a large hotel zone, your shuttle will likely make many stops before reaching your door. For a family on a 7-day holiday, losing 3-4 hours to shuttle logistics can be frustrating.

3. Taking a Taxi to Türkler/Alanya

Taxis are available outside the terminal 24/7. However, for a 100km+ journey, the price can be quite steep. Most airport taxis have a fixed price list for Alanya, but these are often higher than pre-booked private services. Furthermore, standard taxis are sedans; if you have a large family, you would need to hire two taxis, doubling your cost.

4. Public Transport (Antalya Otogar)

This is the most "adventurous" and least recommended route for resort guests. You would take a city bus from the airport to the main bus station (Otogar), then a "Manavgat-Alanya" intercity bus, and finally get off on the main road to catch a local dolmuş to your hotel.
Total Time: 3.5 to 4 hours. Our Advice: Avoid this if you are heading to an all-inclusive resort.

5. The Route: What You’ll See

The journey from Antalya Airport to the Eftalia resorts takes you along the D400 coastal road. On your right, you’ll catch glimpses of the Mediterranean Sea, and on your left, the majestic Taurus Mountains. You will pass through the resort areas of Belek, Side, and Manavgat before arriving at the Türkler hotel zone.

6. FAQ: Your Transfer Questions Answered

How long is the transfer to Eftalia Ocean?

With a private transfer, it usually takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. During heavy traffic or if using a shared shuttle, expect 2 hours or more.

Can we stop for a break?

Of course! One of the perks of a private VIP transfer is that you can ask your driver to stop for a quick snack, coffee, or a restroom break along the way.

What is the price for an Eftalia transfer in?

Prices vary by vehicle type, but a private VIP van for 1-7 people typically ranges from €55 to €75. We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance for the best rates.

7. Tips for a Stress-Free Arrival

• Check for "Eftalia Island": Remember that the beach park is across the road from the hotels. Your transfer will drop you at the hotel lobby, not the beach!
• Flight Number: Always provide your flight number so your driver can monitor delays.
• WhatsApp: Ensure you have WhatsApp installed to communicate with your driver upon landing at AYT.
