Driver's note: Beachfront in orange grove gardens on the Sahilkent shore at Finike, with its own sand and cabanas, an aquapark, a kids' club, and a spa holding a hammam, sauna and indoor pool.
Antalya Airport to Presa di Finica Hotel & Suites private transfer
Sahilkent is the beach strip immediately east of Finike town, and reaching it from the airport takes the better part of an afternoon rather than a spare half hour. The meeting itself is a small piece of business: a board in arrivals carrying your surname, a driver who takes charge of the luggage, and the car out of the city soon afterwards. From there the coast road works west, pinned against the water below the Beydağları, past Kemer and Tekirova, then across open ground behind Kumluca, and finally down to the Finike gulf with the sea back on your left. Set aside 130 km and 2-2.5 h for it when nothing is holding the road up.
Settling the number before the wheels turn is the whole point of arranging a drive this long in advance. A Mercedes Vito holds six with their cases and opens at €115; anything larger moves to the minivan, eight seats, at €120. You are buying the car and not a seat in it, the figure is written into the confirmation when the booking is made, and a crawling afternoon through Kemer leaves it exactly as it was. Nothing is wanted up front either. Settlement happens at the hotel rather than at the airport, cash to the driver at the door in EUR, USD or TRY. A cancellation reaching us 4 hours ahead of the pickup is not charged for.
What waits at the far end is the one large beach hotel in the Finike district, holding a stretch of sand of its own on the gulf with cabanas set out along it. Swimming is divided among a main pool, a children's pool, a second children's pool down by the beach, an aquapark with slides, an adults-only pool shaded by palms and an indoor pool in the spa. That spa also keeps massage rooms, a Turkish bath, a sauna and a fitness centre, while the children's club has play rooms, slides, a mini disco and animation shows to itself. Meals are spread across Sunny, the open buffet restaurant doing breakfast, lunch and dinner, an Italian à la carte restaurant in the same building, and Lagoon, which serves fish down on the beach, with bars at the pool, in the lobby and on the sand. The grounds have a gate of their own on the shore road, so the car finishes at the hotel entrance and the cases are unloaded there.
A drive of 2-2.5 h after a flight is a long time to stay in one seat, and breaking it is free for the asking. Nobody has to arrange the pause in advance, although you can: a word on the road is enough, and the driver finds somewhere with a washroom and a shop. The fare takes no notice of the delay. Child seats cost nothing and come in whatever size is needed; send the ages on WhatsApp and the right one is already fixed in place when you reach the vehicle. We keep an eye on the incoming flight, using the number you give us, so an aircraft that arrives late shifts the driver's hour rather than costing you the car. Transfers are arranged 24/7.
Evening arrivals are common at Antalya, and the hour makes no difference either to the arrangement or to the fare. The finish is the same whenever it comes: the car turns in at the hotel's own gate, and the cases go from the boot to reception without crossing open ground. One detail is worth getting right in the booking message. Write Presa di Finica, Sahilkent, Finike, and add Club di Finica if that is the name printed on your voucher, because a number of operators still market the hotel under that older trade name. Having it on paper beforehand saves a conversation on the pavement at the end of a long day.
Meeting the driver at Antalya arrivals
No rank has to be joined and no app has to find you. With immigration and the baggage hall behind you, walk through into arrivals, where your surname is held up on a board, whichever gate the flight releases you through. Touchdown starts 60 minutes of waiting that nobody is charged for, so a stalled queue at passport control does not turn into an extra on the bill. Whoever is holding the board takes the heavy cases off you, walks you out and loads them, and the vehicle then belongs to your party alone, with no second pickup added to the route.
What the road west to Finike is like
It is 130 km and 2-2.5 h, and the road does not keep one character throughout. The start, getting clear of Antalya, is quick; from Kemer onwards the carriageway is wedged between mountain and sea, climbing and turning from headland to headland; beyond Kumluca the ground flattens before the last descent to the gulf. Whatever is wanted en route belongs in the bag at your feet, because the boot is packed at the airport and stays shut until Finike. Ask to break the run whenever it suits, since a pause leaves the amount due exactly as agreed. The price having been pinned down at booking, a slow road costs you time and not money.
The drop at Sahilkent, and the flight home
Presa di Finica opens straight onto the Sahilkent shore road, which means the drive ends at the hotel and not at some barrier set back among the buildings. Orange groves and the hotel's own beach make up the surroundings, and the walk from kerb to reception is short at any hour of the night. Free parking and a valet service come with the address, which means the vehicle can sit where it stopped while bags are unloaded and reception is sorted out. The homeward leg works backwards: give us the departure on WhatsApp a day ahead, and the 2-2.5 h of road, plus whatever check-in your airline asks for, are subtracted from it. A car comes to the door at the time settled on, and there is no new figure to discuss.
Good to know for Presa di Finica Hotel & Suites
- The booking message should carry the flight number, which is what lets the landing rather than the schedule decide when the driver sets off.
- Give the address as Presa di Finica, Sahilkent, Finike, and mention Club di Finica as well if that is the name your voucher uses.
- Ask for child seats as you book and give the ages: they cost nothing, but they are only fitted when somebody asks for them.
- Keep swimwear in the cabin bag, because the hotel's own sand and its pools are waiting at the end of the drive.
- Payment comes at the end and comes in cash, so keep EUR, USD or TRY aside for the hotel door, and arrange the homeward car in the same WhatsApp thread.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the transfer to Presa di Finica Hotel & Suites cost?
Six passengers and their luggage go in the Mercedes Vito, from €115. A party of eight takes the minivan instead, at €120. What is priced is the car itself, not the number of people in it, the figure is confirmed in writing before the day, and the same one applies coming back.
How long is the run out to Sahilkent?
Allow 130 km and 2-2.5 h, heading west along the coast by Kemer and Tekirova, then through Kumluca and down to the Finike gulf. In peak weeks it sits at the longer end of that range, but the fare was settled before you travelled and traffic has no way into it.
What happens when we come through into arrivals?
Your surname is on a board, held up in the hall, at whichever gate the flight uses. The bags are taken off you there and the car is parked a short walk from the doors, so there is nothing left to arrange once you are through.
Is a late-evening arrival awkward?
Not for us. The flight is followed on the number in your message, so the driver comes for the landing rather than for a timetable, and waiting stays free for 60 minutes after touchdown. We work 24/7, the hour changes nothing about the price, and the drive finishes at the hotel entrance.
What about a break on the road, and seats for the children?
Both are straightforward. A pause is easily fitted into 2-2.5 h, arranged at booking or requested en route, and the fare does not notice it. Children's seats come free in all sizes, and a folded pushchair goes into the Vito's boot without displacing anybody.
Is anything paid up front?
No. The driver takes the money once the journey is over, in cash, EUR, USD or TRY. Cancelling is free while there are still 4 hours to go before the pickup, and if the hour or the vehicle has to change, say so on WhatsApp and it is changed.
