Kıyak Hotel Taxi Transfer from Antalya Airport

Antalya Airport to Kıyak Hotel private transfer

Demre lies at the far western end of the province, which makes this transfer the day's travelling rather than a short link between neighbouring towns. West of Antalya the road gives up the flat ground and bends along the hillsides above the water for most of its length, so 150 km take 2.5-3 h. The driver is already past the customs door when you walk through, with your surname on a board, and once the cases are in the boot the vehicle belongs to your party until it stops. There is no other address on the list and no waiting about for anyone else.

The price is settled before you fly and nothing on the road alters it. A Mercedes Vito seats up to six and starts at €135; a party too large for it moves to the eight-seat minivan at €140. Either sum buys the vehicle rather than a place in it, which is what makes the arrangement worth having over a road of this length: a tractor on a gradient, a resurfaced lane or a queue leaving a village costs the driver time and costs you nothing at all. The driver is handed cash at the end, in EUR, USD or TRY; nothing is taken when the booking is made, and there is no charge for cancelling if the message arrives 4 hours before the pickup.

Kıyak Hotel is a town hotel with a garden, and the standard rooms are sold with a view of it, in grades running from a room for a couple up to a family room, with soundproofed rooms on the list as well. Free Wi-Fi reaches the bedrooms and the public areas, there is a bar and a television room to sit in, and breakfast is served each morning. Room service is there too, which is worth knowing when nobody wants to move again after a long drive. Say at booking what is travelling with you and the Vito for up to six or the minivan for up to eight is sent to match, since the cases have 150 km to ride in the boot.

Give us the flight number as you book and the inbound is watched, so a delay pushes the pickup back instead of wasting it. Waiting costs nothing for 60 minutes from the wheels touching down, which is normally enough for passport control and the wait at the belt. With 2.5-3 h of road to follow, an afternoon landing reaches Demre in the evening and a later one arrives in the dark, and you are set down at the hotel rather than left to work out the rest of the way with the luggage. Seats for children cost nothing: give the ages at booking and the right size is strapped in before the vehicle leaves the terminal. We answer messages 24/7, and an arrival at an awkward hour of the night is met in the same way as any other.

A pause on the way is yours for the asking and the price does not move for it. Mention it as you set off and the driver can choose somewhere with shade, a shop and a toilet rather than pulling up wherever the verge allows. Nothing changes for the journey out: send your departure time on WhatsApp and a pickup from the hotel is confirmed at the fare you paid coming in, counting back 2.5-3 h for the road and adding whatever check-in the airline expects. If you want a car for a day out beyond the town while you are staying, ask and we will put a price on it before anything is agreed.

Where the driver stands when you land

There is no desk to find and no number to ring once you are on the ground. Walk out with the luggage, read along the row of boards at the rail, and one of them carries your surname; both terminals are covered, so the gate you use makes no difference. The pickup is timed to the landing that actually happens rather than the hour printed on the ticket, and the free 60 minutes run from touchdown, so a long spell in the passport queue leaves the fare where it was. The cases go into the boot and the drive west starts a few minutes later.

The long run out to Demre

The same driver and the same vehicle take you the whole way, with no change en route and nobody else to collect. The boot is closed at the terminal and opened at the hotel, so water, tablets and a charger are better kept in a bag on your knees for the 2.5-3 h in between. Raise the question of a stop as you set out, not at the halfway mark, and the driver can plan where to pull in. Whatever those 150 km do to the clock, the figure struck at booking is the figure handed over in Gökyazı.

Drawing up in Gökyazı

The closing kilometres come down into Demre and finish on the road through the town, at the hotel door in Gökyazı, with no barrier to clear and no resort strip to drive along. Reception is manned whatever the hour and check-in is quick, which suits a party that set off before dawn; if the room is not yet free the bags can go behind the desk while you find breakfast or a chair in the garden. Parking outside costs nothing, so a relative driving down separately has somewhere to leave the car. The Church of St Nicholas is a walk away, so the first morning in Demre needs no vehicle at all.

Good to know for Kıyak Hotel

• Send the flight number when you book, because the driver is timed to the landing itself and not to the printed arrival.
• Children's seats are free in the sizes you need, so send the ages with the booking rather than asking at the kerb.
• Say in advance if a pushchair, a wheelchair or an outsize case is coming, so the Vito or the eight-seat minivan is picked to hold it.
• Nothing is taken when you book, so bring the fare in cash for the driver in EUR, USD or TRY; the vehicle carries no card machine.
• Arrange the homeward pickup a day ahead on WhatsApp, leaving 2.5-3 h for the road; there is nothing to pay for cancelling 4 hours out.
