Viva Beach Hotel Taxi Transfer from Antalya Airport

Antalya Airport to Viva Beach Hotel, Mahmutlar

Mahmutlar lies beyond Alanya, which makes this a genuinely long transfer rather than a hop along the bay. The drive covers 137 km in 2 to 2.5 hours, heading east from the terminal past Belek and Side, then following the shoreline through Alanya before the road opens out again into Mahmutlar. The hotel itself sits a street back from the seafront, so the finish is a turn off the main road into a narrow numbered side street rather than a sweep through a resort gate. Your driver makes that turn and stops at the door, which is worth settling in advance if you have ever been set down on a corner and left to find the rest yourself.

The fare is fixed when you book and stays put afterwards, whatever the road decides to do. A Mercedes Vito with room for up to six people costs €95 and an eight-seat minivan €100, the charge being for the car and not the head count. That matters more here than on a short run, because the coastal road through Alanya can slow to walking pace on a summer afternoon and a meter would keep climbing while you sat in it. Nothing is added at the end for traffic, for a late landing or for travelling at night.

A run of 137 km is a long time to sit still, which is why a break is worth asking for rather than enduring. Say the word at booking or on the road and the driver will pull off for a coffee, a cold drink or a stretch of the legs before the last section, and it costs nothing beyond the few minutes it takes. Child seats go in free of charge in whatever size you give us when you book, fitted before the vehicle leaves for the terminal, so no one is improvising with a seat belt at the kerb.

Plenty of flights into Antalya come down after dark, and on this route the difference shows: the Mahmutlar leg becomes a long procession of tail lights beside a sea you cannot see. A car settled in advance is worth most on exactly that arrival. Give us the flight number and the aircraft is watched in, so a delay moves the car instead of wasting it. Your name is on the board held up past the customs doors, and the driver stays there until you reach him. Free waiting runs to 60 minutes from touchdown, enough for a slow carousel or a queue at passport control at no extra cost, and because we work 24/7 an arrival in the small hours is met just as an afternoon one is.

What waits at the end is a hotel with the beach a short walk from the door, where it keeps its own stretch of sand to swim and sunbathe from. Board is all-inclusive without alcohol, served from a restaurant, a snack bar, a beach bar and a nargile cafe, and there is an outdoor pool in front of the building as well as a pool with slides, with a sauna, a Turkish bath and massage for a cooler day. Reception stays open right through the night, which is the detail that counts when the drive has taken the best part of an afternoon. When the week is over the same drive has to be done in the other direction, so the pickup from the entrance is set early enough to absorb those 2 to 2.5 hours again.

Arrivals, the name board and the luggage

Nothing needs arranging at the airport itself. Once you have cleared baggage reclaim and walked out, your driver is waiting beyond the doors with a board showing your name, whichever gate you emerge from. He lifts the heavy cases, stows them and walks you to the vehicle, so the trolley stops being your problem at the door. The 60 minutes of free waiting begin when you land, and because your flight is followed, a delayed departure at the other end has already been accounted for before you reach Antalya. From the kerb it is straight out onto the coast road heading east.

The long way east, and what slows it

The route is simple enough but it is long. It leaves the airport on the eastern motorway, passes Belek and Side, and then becomes a coastal road that rises and falls around headlands on the way through Alanya to Mahmutlar, 137 km and 2 to 2.5 hours in normal conditions. In high summer the stretch through Alanya town is the slow part, with the seafront backing up in both directions; in winter the light goes early, so much of the drive happens in the dark. The last part is coast road rather than motorway, which is why distance alone never quite predicts it.

Which vehicle, and what it carries

The Mercedes Vito is the entry vehicle here, at €95, with space for up to six travellers plus their cases. For a larger party the eight-seat minivan is €100, and that is the sensible pick when the luggage is bulky or everyone wants to stay in the same vehicle for the whole drive. Tell us how many bags you are bringing as well as how many passengers, because a full set of hold cases eats more space than people expect on a run of this length. No deposit is required, and the booking may be dropped without charge provided we know 4 hours before the pickup.
