Antalya Airport to Patara Transfer

The distance from Antalya Airport to Patara is about 225 km, and the drive usually takes around 210 minutes. Your driver heads west past Antalya and Kemer, then follows the coastal road through Kumluca, Finike, Demre, Kaş and Kalkan before turning off towards Patara and the village of Gelemiş.

Much of the road winds between the Taurus mountains and the sea, so it is a drive to enjoy rather than rush. Summer weekends, roadworks and slower traffic on the mountain sections can add time, while early-morning or late-evening transfers are often quicker. Patara itself is quiet: a long sandy beach, the ruins of an ancient Lycian city and a small village with family-run guesthouses.

After passport control and baggage reclaim, your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. There is no need to look for a counter or queue for a shuttle: this is a private Patara transfer, so the vehicle goes only to your accommodation, with no stops at other hotels.

We track your flight number, so if your plane lands early or late the pickup time is adjusted and waiting for a delay is free. Because the journey is long, it is worth having water and something to snack on with you; the driver takes you straight to the door of your hotel or guesthouse in Patara.

On a drive of three and a half hours, space and comfort matter. The price is a fixed price per vehicle, not per person; you can compare the options in the price table above.

• Minivan (1–6 passengers): a practical choice for couples and families with normal luggage.
• VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito (1–7): more legroom and comfort, popular for this longer route.
• Mercedes Sprinter (8–16): for groups, several families travelling together or lots of bags.

Child seats and baby seats are free on request; just give the ages of your children when you book. There is no night surcharge and no extra fee for luggage.

For an international flight, aim to arrive at Antalya Airport about 2–3 hours before departure, but check your airline's advice. With roughly 3 h 30 min on the road plus a buffer, an example: for a 14:00 flight, a pickup in Patara at around 07:30–08:00 is sensible.

You can book the return at the same time as your arrival transfer via WhatsApp, 24/7. We send a fixed-price quote within a minute of your request, there is no prepayment and cancellation is free. If your flight leaves from Dalaman instead, ask us, as we serve that airport too.
