Antalya Airport to Demre Transfer

The Demre transfer is about 145 km and normally takes around 160 minutes, so it pays to know what to expect. From Antalya Airport the driver circles the city and joins the D400 heading south-west past Beldibi, Kemer and Tekirova, then crosses the forested hills to the Kumluca plain.

Beyond Kumluca the road follows the shore to Finike and continues west on one of the most attractive stretches of the Lycian coast, where the road clings to the cliffs above the sea before reaching the Demre plain. There are many bends, and traffic around Antalya and Kemer in summer is the biggest variable. Daytime arrivals let you enjoy the views; night drives are usually quicker. If you are staying near the harbour or in a village outside the centre, send us the address when you book.

At Antalya Airport (AYT) your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. He takes your luggage and drives you straight to your hotel or guesthouse in Demre — no shared shuttle, no other hotels on the way.

We track your flight in real time, so a delay simply shifts the pickup: the driver waits at no extra cost. Late-night arrivals carry no surcharge and luggage is always included.

For a drive this long, pick the vehicle that keeps everyone comfortable. You pay a fixed price per vehicle, not per person — see the price table above.

• Minivan (1–6 passengers): a practical option for couples and families.
• VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito (1–7 passengers): extra legroom and a smoother ride, much appreciated on a journey of nearly three hours.
• Mercedes Sprinter (8–16 passengers): ideal for history and pilgrimage groups visiting Myra, or several families together.

Children's seats and baby seats are free on request. Let us know about any bulky items, such as pushchairs or extra suitcases, so we send a vehicle with enough room.

Airlines usually advise arriving about 2–3 hours before an international flight; check your airline's advice. Because the drive is close to three hours, plan with care. A worked example: for a 17:00 flight, aim to be at the airport by about 14:30, which means leaving Demre at around 11:30. In peak season, allow an extra 15–20 minutes.

You can book the return with your arrival transfer or later on WhatsApp, 24/7, and you will receive a fixed-price quote within 1 minute. No prepayment, free cancellation, and payment in the vehicle in cash, or by card if agreed in advance.
