Driver's note: A self-catering apart hotel on Dumlupınar Caddesi in the Kum quarter of Finike, with kitchens in the units, a garden, a seasonal pool and a private beach area.
Antalya Airport to Şahiner Apart Otel private transfer
Finike lies well down the western side of Antalya province, so the transfer is a serious piece of driving rather than a quick run along the bay. Once passport control and the bag belt are behind you, your name is up in the hall on a board, the luggage goes onto a trolley, and the car is rolling a few minutes later. The road measures 130 km and the sensible figure to plan around is 2-2.5 h, terminal to door. No stranger climbs in beside you: the booking buys the whole vehicle, kerb to door.
The hours come from the terrain rather than the distance. Heading west the coast road skirts Antalya, passes Kemer and then Kumluca, and spends long stretches climbing and turning above the water before it comes down onto the plain at Finike. Much of it carries traffic in each direction without a central divide, so a lorry grinding up a gradient sets the pace until the next straight opens. That is why the time is quoted as a range, and why an afternoon of slow going costs you nothing extra: €115 agreed beforehand is still €115 when the road refuses to cooperate.
Nothing about the money is left until the day itself. The run to Finike is from €115 one way in the Mercedes Vito, which seats six; the minivan, with eight, is €120. It is the vehicle that is priced, not the number of people riding in it, and the leg home works the same way. Cancel 4 hours ahead of the pickup and nothing is charged, the line is answered 24/7, an evening landing is priced the same as a midday one, and nothing is paid in advance: the driver settles up at the door in Finike.
Luggage usually settles which vehicle to book on this run. The units at Şahiner Apart Otel have a kitchen with a fridge and an oven, plus a washing machine, so the stay can be self-catering, and that tends to mean travelling with more than a hotel room would call for. The Vito takes big suitcases, a pushchair and the beach things without anything wedged between passengers, while the eight-seat minivan keeps a larger family in one car. Seats for children are free but must be requested in advance: state the ages as you book and the seat will already be fitted.
A good many flights reach Antalya in the evening, which on this road means the last stretch is driven after dark and the bends are taken gently. The fare does not change with the hour the wheels stop, and a late arrival causes no difficulty at the other end either, because the front desk here is staffed round the clock, so checking in does not depend on catching an office while it is open. For the flight home, message us the details and a car will be outside the building in good time, leaving the whole 2-2.5 h for the coast road with check-in on top of it.
Landing at AYT for a Finike stay
Whichever terminal the aircraft parks at, the routine does not change: out through baggage reclaim and the driver is there in the hall, with no rank to queue at and no number to ring. Landings are watched, so an aircraft held up en route simply pushes the pickup back, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown are included at no charge, enough for a sluggish carousel or a slow passport queue. The luggage is carried out and loaded for you, and the next time you lift it is in Finike.
The road down to Finike
This is a long leg by the standards of an airport run, and the useful thing to know is that it is not driven in a hurry. The car is cool inside whatever the month, and should you want to stop partway, mention it at the airport and the driver will find somewhere suitable to pull in, which changes nothing on the bill. Anyone in the party who dislikes bends travels better in the front seat, and it is worth buying something to eat before you leave the terminal.
Arriving at Şahiner Apart Otel
This is an apart hotel rather than a resort, and the difference shows in the rooms: a private balcony or patio, air conditioning, a private bathroom and daily housekeeping, with some units laid out as family rooms looking out to sea. Outside there is a private beach area, a garden and a seasonal pool with a bar beside it; indoors a lift saves hauling cases up the stairs and a small shop covers whatever got left at home. Finike Marina, the town beach and the markets in the centre are all a short drive from the door.
Good to know for Şahiner Apart Otel
- Leave the flight number with us: watching the inbound aircraft is what turns a delay into a later pickup rather than a wrecked one.
- Child seats are free but not automatic, so state how many you want, and the ages, while you are booking rather than at the kerb.
- Ask the driver for a pause partway if you want one. It adds nothing to the fare, and with a kitchen in the unit it is also the moment to pick up supplies for the first evening.
- Work back from the flight home: 2-2.5 h of driving, then check-in at the terminal, and set the pickup from that.
- Book the car as soon as the flights are ticketed, since the details can be amended afterwards and there is no fee to drop it, provided we know 4 hours before the car is due.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the car to Şahiner Apart Otel?
€115 is where the Mercedes Vito starts, with six seats, and a group that wants the eight-seat minivan pays €120. That figure buys the car itself, whoever is riding in it, it is put in writing well before the day, and it holds for the journey back as well.
Why does 130 km take so long?
Allow 2-2.5 h for the 130 km, by way of Kemer and Kumluca on the coast road. The range exists because the road climbs and twists for much of its length, and since the price was fixed at booking, heavy traffic or a caravan crawling ahead has no effect on the bill.
Does the driver wait inside or outside?
Inside the terminal building rather than out at the kerb. Your name goes up on a board where everyone coming through can see it, the driver takes the bags off you on the spot and walks ahead of you to the car, so nothing needs arranging once you have landed.
The flight is running very late. What then?
We follow the inbound aircraft rather than the schedule, so a late landing simply moves the pickup. The 60 minutes that follow touchdown are free waiting too, which swallows passport control and an unhurried carousel without adding anything to the fare.
Will child seats and a full load of bags be a problem?
There is no charge for a child seat, though the ages belong on the booking so the correct size is waiting. On space, the Vito from €115 handles big suitcases alongside a pushchair and beach gear, while a family coming to Finike for a self-catering stay may prefer the extra room of the eight-seat minivan, at €120.
Do you drive the return leg as well?
Yes, at the fare already fixed, picking you up from the door on Dumlupınar Caddesi with 2-2.5 h set aside for the road and check-in counted after that. You pay nothing up front, a change at short notice reaches a line that stays open 24/7, and a cancellation made 4 hours before pickup costs nothing.
