Driver's note: Samira Resort mixes hotel rooms, self-catering apart flats and the Samiris villas, each with its own pool, within walking distance of Kalkan's public beach.
Antalya Airport to Samira Resort Hotel & Apart & Villas private transfer
The transfer to Samira Resort starts inside the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, where the driver is already holding a board with your name on it. What follows is 220 km of coast road and 3 to 4 hours of it, because the tarmac west of Antalya follows each inlet instead of cutting across, and Kalkan lies beyond Kaş at the end of the run. None of it has to be sorted out after you land: the car, the driver and the figure were all agreed beforehand on WhatsApp. The last turn is off İstiklal Caddesi into Çınar Sokak, and the cases come out of the boot at the hotel entrance rather than at a corner further along.
On a run this long the fixed price is the whole reason for booking ahead. The Mercedes Vito, with seats for up to six, is from €200, and the eight-seat minivan from €205; the figure buys the vehicle, so a family books a car instead of paying for each seat. Nothing is collected when you book. You settle with the driver on arrival at Samira Resort, in EUR, USD or TRY, and a slow stretch through any of the towns on the way costs you time and nothing more. If the trip falls through, cancelling up to 4 hours before the pickup costs nothing either.
What you have booked on the site tends to decide how much luggage travels with you. Samira Resort keeps hotel rooms, self-catering apart flats and the Samiris villas together in the same place; the apart flats have a kitchen and a fridge for guests who would rather cook than eat out, and each villa has a pool of its own alongside the communal one. The Mercedes Vito from €200 carries up to six people with full-size cases behind them, and where a villa has been taken between families the eight-seat minivan from €205 keeps the party in a single car.
Landing times move, and the booking is built to absorb that. Send the flight number and the flight is watched, so a late arrival shifts the pickup rather than costing you the car, and every booking carries 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown, which is there for the passport queue and the baggage belt. Arrivals at Antalya are split between a domestic terminal and an international one, so name the airline and the driver stands at the door you come out of. On a road of this length the car will pull in for a break whenever you want one, for a coffee or for the children, and stopping makes no difference to what you pay.
The return works the same way for the same money and is set up with a WhatsApp message. Give us the departure a day ahead and the pickup is counted back from it, allowing the 3 to 4 hours along the coast and check-in on top. Car parking at Samira Resort is free, so the driver comes onto the site to load rather than waiting out on the road. The line is answered 24/7, which is what counts when a flight time moves at short notice.
Finding the driver before the drive west
You come through passport control, collect the luggage, and your name is already up on a board in the hall; the driver has followed the flight in and parked while you were queueing. He takes the trolley, loads the boot and walks you out to the vehicle, which is worth having before 220 km of road. The 60 minutes of free waiting run from touchdown, so a long queue or a slow belt adds nothing to the agreed fare. If arrivals is busy, a WhatsApp message brings him to you.
Which vehicle suits the Kalkan run
Every vehicle on the fleet is van class, so the Mercedes Vito from €200 is where this route starts: seats for up to six, a side door you can load through, and a boot that swallows a week's luggage without anything riding on a lap. Kalkan is far enough out that people arrive with everything they mean to use, and where the apart flats and villas are self-catering the shopping tends to come in the car too. A larger party, or a villa taken between families, goes in the eight-seat minivan from €205 rather than in separate cars that arrive at different times. Child seats are free in either vehicle and go in before the car leaves for the terminal.
Landing after dark, and the run back
Charter flights reach Antalya well into the evening, and the road west is bend after bend above the water, which is not something to be working out for yourself at the end of a travel day. The fare is the same at any hour, with nothing added for a night arrival, and reception at Samira Resort is staffed around the clock, so a late check-in causes no trouble at the far end. For the flight home the pickup is counted back from check-in with the 3 to 4 hours of road added, and confirmed on WhatsApp the evening before. Plans do change; cancelling is free up to 4 hours before the pickup, and as nothing was paid in advance there is no deposit at stake.
Good to know for Samira Resort Hotel & Apart & Villas
- Put the flight number and the airline in the WhatsApp booking, so the flight is followed and the driver waits at the terminal you actually land in.
- Send the children's ages with the booking, so the free seats are already fitted when the car sets off for the airport.
- Say if you would like a break on the way. Over 220 km the driver expects to stop, and the fixed fare does not move for it.
- Carry the fare in cash, in EUR, USD or TRY; nothing is taken in advance and payment on the day is cash only.
- Book the return at the same time and allow the 3 to 4 hours back to the airport before check-in; cancelling is free up to 4 hours ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a transfer from Antalya Airport to Samira Resort Hotel & Apart & Villas?
The Mercedes Vito, seating up to six, is from €200, and the eight-seat minivan from €205. The price is for the car rather than for a seat in it, and the run back from Kalkan to the airport is the same figure.
How long does it take to reach Kalkan from the airport?
It is 220 km and 3 to 4 hours on the coast road. The car goes straight to the hotel with nobody else to collect on the way, and the quoted figure is what you pay whatever the traffic does.
Where does the driver stand in arrivals?
In the arrivals hall itself, past passport control and the baggage belt, with a board showing your name. Antalya Airport has a domestic terminal and an international one, so put the flight number in the WhatsApp message and he will be at that exit.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
The flight is followed and the pickup moves to the real landing time, at no extra charge. Each booking carries 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown, and nothing is added for coming in late at night.
Can we stop on the way, and do you provide child seats?
Yes to both. Over 3 to 4 hours the driver will pull in whenever you ask, and the fixed fare does not move for it. Child seats are free in the Vito and in the minivan; give the ages at booking and they are in place before the car leaves.
How is the fare paid, and can it be cancelled?
The driver takes the fare in cash at Samira Resort, in EUR, USD or TRY, and no card is handled in the vehicle. Nothing at all is charged when you book, so calling the transfer off up to 4 hours before the pickup leaves you owing nothing, and the WhatsApp line is answered 24/7.
