Getting from Antalya Airport to Side – Everything You Need to Know

Planning a holiday in Side? Getting from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Side is one of the most popular airport transfer routes on the Turkish Riviera.

Side is famous for its beautiful Mediterranean beaches, ancient Roman ruins, historic harbour and lively holiday atmosphere. Whether you're staying in Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki, Kumköy or another nearby resort area, getting from Antalya Airport to your hotel should be simple and stress-free.

In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know about travelling from Antalya Airport to Side, including distance, journey time, transfer options, prices, booking information and what to expect when you arrive.

📍 How Far Is Antalya Airport from Side?

Antalya Airport is approximately 65 km from Side.

Under normal traffic conditions, the journey by private vehicle generally takes around 55–65 minutes, although travel time can vary depending on traffic, your exact hotel location and the time of day.

The route follows the D400 coastal highway east from Antalya towards Side and the surrounding resort areas.

For travellers arriving after an international flight, a direct private airport transfer can be one of the easiest ways to reach your hotel without changing vehicles or making unnecessary stops.

🚐 How to Get from Antalya Airport to Side

There are several ways to travel from Antalya Airport to Side. The right option depends on your budget, comfort and how quickly you want to reach your accommodation.

1. Private Antalya Airport to Side Transfer

2. Shared Shuttle Bus

Shared shuttle services can be cheaper than a private transfer, but they normally involve several hotel drop-offs.

Depending on the number of passengers and their destinations, these additional stops can make the journey considerably longer.

A shared shuttle may suit budget-conscious travellers, while a private transfer can be more convenient for families, couples, groups and travellers arriving after a long flight.

3. Public Transport

Public transport is generally the budget option, but travelling from Antalya Airport to Side by public transport can be less straightforward when carrying luggage.

Depending on the services available for your journey, you may need to travel into Antalya and change buses before continuing towards Side.

For visitors unfamiliar with the area, this can make the journey more complicated than taking a direct airport transfer.

4. Taxi

Taxis are available at Antalya Airport, but a longer journey to Side can be more expensive than arranging a private transfer in advance.

With a pre-booked transfer, you know the price before travelling and have a driver arranged for your arrival.
