Driver's note: Stands on Hasan Şenli Sokak off Atatürk Caddesi in central Alanya with its own access to Cleopatra Beach, a main, indoor and children's pool, and a spa with Turkish bath and sauna.
Antalya Airport to Kleopatra Dreams Beach Hotel private transfer
Alanya is the far end of the coast from Antalya Airport, so the difference between a good arrival and a bad one is decided in the first few minutes outside the terminal. Your driver is standing in the arrivals hall with your name on a board, takes the heavy cases off you and walks you to the car. From there the road turns east and stays with the sea the whole way, past Side and Manavgat, until the castle headland at Alanya rises ahead of the windscreen. The distance is 125 km and the car covers it in 100 to 120 minutes, depending on how the coast road is moving.
A written fare matters more on a run this long than on a short hop, because a long road is exactly where an open meter does its damage. Ours is agreed before you fly: from €100 in a Mercedes Vito, which seats up to six, and €105 in an eight-seat minivan. That is the price of the whole vehicle for the whole 125 km, and it does not move when the coast road slows through the resort strips. The driver takes payment in cash on arrival, in euros, dollars or lira, and cancellation is free up to 4 hours before pickup.
The hotel sells all-inclusive board and puts its own stretch of Cleopatra Beach a few steps from the rooms, which in luggage terms means beach bags stacked on top of the suitcases. A Mercedes Vito from €100 takes a couple or a family with room over for a pushchair and a cool bag, and the boot swallows full-size cases without a bag ending up on anybody's knees. Parties who have booked the hotel's family rooms and travel with grandparents fit into the eight-seat minivan at €105 rather than splitting the party between cars. Child seats and boosters cost nothing; send the ages when you book and they are fitted before the car leaves for the airport.
A drive of this length is a real journey rather than a hop, and it is easier if you plan it. Say at the start that you would like a stop and the driver will pull into a roadside service station along the way for a drink and a washroom, at no cost beyond the minutes you spend there. Flights into Antalya frequently land in the evening, so much of the run is done in the dark with the sea invisible on your right and lit towns sliding past the window. Air conditioning, a charging socket and a driver who is not watching a meter are what make 125 km at night a rest rather than an ordeal.
The hotel entrance is on Hasan Şenli Sokak, a short street running off Atatürk Caddesi, so the driver leaves the main avenue and pulls up at the door instead of dropping you on the seafront to walk the last part with cases. Going home is the same journey reversed at the same fixed fare, arranged with a WhatsApp message the day before. We count back the 100 to 120 minutes to the terminal, add check-in time and set the pickup against your flight, and because the office runs 24/7 an early departure is only a matter of telling us the time. Day trips from Alanya, the run west to Land of Legends at Kadriye among them, are priced the same way: in writing, per vehicle.
Finding the car after you land at AYT
There is no rank to find and nobody to ring. Whichever gate you come through, domestic or international, a driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with a board showing your name. We watch the flight from the number you send us, so a late landing simply moves the pickup rather than losing it, and 60 minutes of free waiting run from touchdown, which covers passport control and a belt that is slow to start. The driver loads the cases and walks you out to the vehicle, and the journey east to Alanya begins from the kerb.
What the drive to Alanya is really like
This is one of the longest transfers on our board and it is worth knowing what you are booking. The road runs east along the coast, through Side and Manavgat and the strings of resort towns beyond them, and it is a working road with lorries and coaches on it as well as holiday traffic. That is why the fare is fixed at 125 km rather than by time: a slow stretch costs you nothing extra. Ask for a break and you get one. Travelling with children, use the stop to stretch legs, and keep water and a tablet within reach rather than in the boot.
Arriving at the hotel in central Alanya
Kleopatra Dreams Beach sits in the middle of Alanya, a short way from the town centre and with its own way down to the sand, so the car reaches the door and the walk to reception is a few metres. The board is all inclusive and covers meals and snacks, so nothing else has to be bought once you are through the door after a long evening on the road. If you land in the evening, the indoor pool and the spa with its Turkish bath and sauna are there for the next morning while the children wear themselves out in the children's pool. Give us the booking name and we will have the driver at that entrance, not on the avenue.
Good to know for Kleopatra Dreams Beach Hotel
- Put the flight number in the booking message; we track the arrival, so the driver is in the hall for the real landing rather than the printed one.
- Ask for the break before you set off rather than halfway along; the driver can then pick a service station on the coast road that suits the timing.
- Give us the children's ages on WhatsApp and the right seats and boosters are fitted free of charge before the car sets out for the terminal.
- Have the money ready in cash, in euros, dollars or lira, because the driver is paid at the hotel door and the car carries no card machine.
- Book the return from Kleopatra Dreams Beach a day ahead and allow 100 to 120 minutes back to the airport on top of check-in for the flight home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a transfer from Antalya Airport to Kleopatra Dreams Beach Hotel?
The fare is fixed per vehicle: €100 upwards for a Mercedes Vito, which takes up to six people, and €105 for an eight-seat minivan holding up to eight. It is agreed in writing before you travel, the return leg is priced the same, and cancellation is free up to 4 hours before pickup.
How long does the drive from the airport to Alanya take?
Allow 100 to 120 minutes for the 125 km east along the coast road through Side and Manavgat. The exact time depends on traffic through the resort towns, and since the fare is fixed a slow run changes nothing about what you pay at the end of it.
Who meets us in arrivals, and whereabouts?
In the arrivals hall, behind a board carrying your name, whichever terminal your flight lands at. Collect your luggage first, then look for the board; the driver takes the cases, walks you to the vehicle and you leave for Alanya straight from the kerb.
Our flight is delayed, so what do we need to do?
Nothing on your side. We follow the flight from the number you gave us, so the driver arrives for the real landing time rather than the scheduled one, and 60 minutes of free waiting after touchdown covers passport queues and baggage without an extra charge. The service runs 24/7, so a middle-of-the-night landing is no different.
Can we stop on the way to Alanya?
Yes. Mention it when the driver loads the cases and he will pull into a service station along the coast road for a drink and a washroom, which is useful on a 125 km run with young children. The stop is free; it simply adds the time you spend out of the car.
How do we pay, and how do we book the ride back?
You pay the driver directly in cash in euros, dollars or lira when you reach the hotel, with nothing taken in advance. For the return, send a WhatsApp message with the flight time and we confirm a pickup from the entrance on Hasan Şenli Sokak at the same fixed fare, allowing 100 to 120 minutes for the road.
