Driver's note: On the Cukurbag Peninsula at Kas, with a Blue Flag beach off a platform and pier, an open pool and a seawater pool, and stone villas and tree houses beside its rooms.
Antalya Airport to Club Hotel Barbarossa private transfer
The distance from Antalya Airport to the Cukurbag Peninsula is about 195 km, and the honest answer on timing is 2.5-3.5 h. Almost none of that is queueing. The coast road leaves the plain behind Antalya and then works along the cliffs through Kemer, Finike and Demre, where the bends set the pace that a motorway never would. It is worth allowing for when you plan the first day, because the drive alone takes up a good part of it. Your driver takes the road at a steady pace, and the fare you agreed does not move because the road is slow.
A fare fixed in writing counts for more over 195 km than it does on a short hop, so that is how we quote it. A Mercedes Vito is €180 and carries up to six people with their cases; an eight-seat minivan is €185, takes up to eight, and helps when the party is larger or the boot is fuller. The price is for the vehicle, not for each seat, and it reads the same in either direction and at any hour, since the service runs 24/7. If plans fall apart you can cancel free up to 4 hours before pickup.
The hotel's address is on Bulent Kalkavan Sokak in Andifli, out on the Cukurbag Peninsula west of Kas town and a few kilometres from the marina and the ancient theatre. Its own website trades under the name Barbarossa Hotel & Villas, which is the same property at the same address as the Club Hotel Barbarossa listed by the booking sites. Accommodation runs from sea-view rooms and family suites to stone villas and tree houses, and the villas have pools of their own. Along the shore there is a Blue Flag beach reached from a platform and pier, an open pool and a seawater pool, a children's pool, and loungers and umbrellas on the private beach area.
Meeting you works the same way at either terminal. We follow the flight from the number you send, so a late landing simply shifts when the driver sets off, and you have 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown to absorb passport control and the baggage belt. The driver takes the heavy cases and walks you out to the vehicle instead of leaving you to steer a trolley across the car park. Child seats are free and fitted before you arrive when you give us the ages at booking, which is worth doing here, because 2.5-3.5 h is a long stretch for a small child in the wrong seat. The fare is handed over in cash at the end of the run, in EUR, USD or TRY, and nothing is taken when you book.
Tell the driver in the car if you would rather split the drive. Finike and Demre both sit on the way, and a coffee or a stretch of the legs costs nothing on a fixed fare, though it does add to the time. For the way home, send a WhatsApp message with your flight time and we set a pickup at the hotel entrance that leaves room for the drive back to Antalya Airport and for check-in on top. The hotel says its doors are open all year, so the same run at the same fare is there out of season as well.
Coming through arrivals at Antalya Airport
There is nothing to find and nobody to negotiate with. You clear passport control, collect your bags and walk into the arrivals hall, where the driver is standing with a board carrying your name, at whichever gate your flight uses. The 60 minutes of free waiting begin when the aircraft lands, so a slow belt or a long queue is already paid for. Cases go onto the trolley and into the vehicle, and you leave the car park on the road west without changing vehicles anywhere.
Vito or minivan for the Kas run
The choice is mostly about luggage rather than the number of seats. The Mercedes Vito at €180 carries up to six people and their suitcases, and it is the vehicle most couples and families end up in. The eight-seat minivan at €185 carries up to eight and pays for itself when the group is bigger, or when there is dive kit sitting on top of the cases, and the hotel does list diving among its activities. Both take free child seats, and the fare is for the vehicle whichever you pick.
What a long drive to Kas actually means
Kas lies much farther west than the Belek and Side resorts, and the 195 km take 2.5-3.5 h because of the road rather than the traffic. That is worth building into the day. Ask for a stop if you want one, as it changes the time and not the price. An evening landing means the peninsula road is the last stretch and you arrive after dark, which is normal on this route and is not charged for, because the service runs 24/7 at the same fare. Should the trip fall through, cancelling is free up to 4 hours before pickup.
Good to know for Club Hotel Barbarossa
- Send your flight number on WhatsApp when you book, so the arrival can be followed and the pickup moved if you land late.
- Give the ages of any children at booking; the free seats are fitted in advance, and 2.5-3.5 h is too long to improvise one.
- Ask for a break at Finike or Demre if you want it, since a stop on a fixed fare adds time but nothing to the €180.
- Give the Bulent Kalkavan Sokak address when you book, since the hotel is out on the Cukurbag Peninsula rather than in Kas town.
- Book the return a day ahead and allow 2.5-3.5 h back to Antalya Airport, plus check-in, before you settle on a pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a transfer from Antalya Airport to Club Hotel Barbarossa?
It is €180 in a Mercedes Vito for up to six passengers, or €185 in an eight-seat minivan for up to eight. The figure covers the vehicle, is fixed in writing before you travel, and is the same coming back.
How long is the drive from Antalya Airport to Kas?
About 195 km and 2.5-3.5 h. The coast road runs through Kemer, Finike and Demre, and its bends set the pace, so the range describes an ordinary run rather than a bad day. A slow road costs you nothing, as the fare is agreed beforehand.
Where do we meet in the terminal?
In the arrivals hall after baggage reclaim, behind a board with your name on it. The terminal and gate make no difference, because the driver waits at whichever one your flight comes through.
Does a late landing change anything?
Nothing changes at your end. We follow the flight from the number you send on WhatsApp and the driver sets out for the real landing rather than the printed one, with 60 minutes of free waiting after that for passport control and luggage.
Can we stop on the way to Kas?
Yes. Finike and Demre are both on the route, and a break for a coffee or to stretch is easy to arrange with the driver. It lengthens the journey without lengthening the bill, which stays at the quoted fare.
Can I cancel, and how do I pay?
Cancellation is free up to 4 hours before pickup, and booking runs 24/7. You pay the driver in cash on arrival in EUR, USD or TRY, with no prepayment and no card machine in the vehicle.
