The drive east along the coast
The road from Side to Mahmutlar is about 77 km and usually takes around 70 minutes. After leaving Side you join the D400 near Manavgat and follow it east along the coast, with the sea on your right and the Taurus foothills on your left. The route passes the resort strip leading up to Alanya, runs through Alanya town below the castle peninsula and continues a few kilometres further east to Mahmutlar.
Actual timing depends on the hour and the season: in high summer, traffic through Manavgat and Alanya can add some minutes, especially around midday and in the early evening. Mornings are usually the quietest time to travel.
Changing hotels halfway through your holiday
Many guests split their stay: a few nights near the ancient theatre and beaches of Side, then a longer stretch in Mahmutlar, where hotels and apartments line a long seafront east of Alanya. A private transfer makes that move simple – suitcases, beach bags and pushchairs all travel with you in one vehicle, with no shared shuttle and no stops at other hotels.
Check-out is usually in the morning, while rooms are often ready only in the afternoon. Ask your new hotel or apartment host whether early check-in is possible, or whether you can leave your bags in a luggage room. Then choose the pick-up time that suits you – we fit around your plans.
