From Mahmutlar to Side in about 75 minutes
The transfer covers about 80 km and normally takes around 75 minutes. Leaving Mahmutlar, the driver heads west through Kestel and Alanya, joins the D400 and follows the coast past the Manavgat area before turning off to Side, which sits on its small peninsula with long beaches stretching away to the east and west.
The old town of Side is largely closed to traffic, so for a visit the driver drops you at the nearest accessible point, and for a hotel stay he takes you right to the entrance. Summer traffic, mostly in Alanya, can lengthen the drive, but the agreed price stays the same.
Moving on to a hotel in Side
A holiday split between a flat in Mahmutlar and a hotel in Side gives you two very different sides of the Riviera: the quieter residential east and a resort town with ancient ruins on its doorstep.
- Check out of your apartment as agreed with your host, and ask your Side hotel whether early check-in or a luggage room is available, as rooms are often ready only in the afternoon.
- Everything goes in one vehicle: suitcases, beach bags, pushchairs and whatever you have accumulated during your stay.
- It is a private transfer, so you travel only with your own party, with no detours to other addresses.
Just visiting: a day or an evening in Side
Many people staying in Mahmutlar come to Side for the sights: the Temple of Apollo on the waterfront, the great Roman theatre and the lanes of the old town, which are at their most atmospheric towards sunset. Book a return and tell us when you would like to be picked up; the driver will meet you at the agreed point and take you back to Mahmutlar. If your plans change during the day, a WhatsApp message is all it takes.
