Antalya Airport to Side Transfer

The road from Antalya Airport to Side runs 66.8 km along the coastal highway and takes about 56 minutes. Everything is arranged before you land: your driver tracks the flight by its number, waits inside the terminal holding a sign with your name, and the car is reserved for your group alone. If the plane is late, the driver simply waits for the new arrival time, and pick-ups run around the clock at the same price — a 3 a.m. arrival changes nothing. Side's hotel strip stretches west from the ancient peninsula along the Kumköy–Ilıca–Çolaklı line. Whether your booking names Barut Hemera next to the old town, Kamelya World out towards Çolaklı, or resorts such as Ali Bey Resort Side and Paloma Perissia, the driver takes you to the door. The old town itself, where the columns of the Temple of Apollo stand beside the Roman theatre, is the one exception: its narrow streets mean a few boutique hotels are reached on foot over the last metres, with the car stopping at the closest permitted point. Choose the car by the size of your group. Families travel in the Premium Van (V-Class), our first suggestion and a VIP transfer with room for 6 passengers and 4 bags, while larger parties book the 12 Seater for up to 12 passengers and 8 bags. The Premium Sedan, carrying 3 passengers with 2 suitcases, and the Comfort sedan with the same capacity are additional options. The return works the same way in reverse: the driver collects you from your hotel at the time you selected when booking, the price equals the outbound fare since the distance is identical, and you again pay the driver in cash at the end of the ride. Rates are per vehicle, fixed at reservation, with no prepayment. October 2026 update: Side's ancient city has had a second museum since 2026: the Arif Müfid Mansel Archaeology Museum, in a restored Late Antique building, alongside the long-established Side Museum.
