Driver's note on Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara: A year-round city hotel in Güzeloba, a walk inland from Lara beach, with a heated terrace pool by the Terrace Bar and a spa club with Turkish bath, sauna and steam room.
The ride from Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara
Loading happens in the hotel's own car park rather than out on the road, so the bags go in at the entrance and nobody stands on a pavement in the sun. From there the driver heads east past the airport junction, through Aksu and on towards Belek before the Kadriye turn brings the park gates into view. It is 26 km and 25–35 min of steady driving, with no other hotels to call at and no shuttle timetable to fit around.
Kadriye is far enough from Lara for a running meter to turn into guesswork, so the price is agreed on WhatsApp before the vehicle moves and holds for the whole day: from €40 in a Mercedes Vito that seats up to six, €50 in the eight-seat minivan. The figure belongs to the vehicle rather than to the seats you fill, and the journey home is charged at the same rate. You hand it over in cash at the end of the day in euros, dollars or lira, and because we work 24/7 a late finish adds nothing.
Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara sells bed and breakfast, half board, full board or room only rather than all-inclusive, which makes a full day away from the hotel easy to plan, while the terrace pool, the playground and the Spa Club are there for the mornings you stay put. The Mercedes Vito leaves room for a cool bag, a pushchair and the damp swim things that come back from the water zones. Free child seats and boosters are fitted before the vehicle reaches the entrance, so send the children's ages on WhatsApp with the booking.
Where the car waits at Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara
The car comes in off the Güzeloba street and waits at the entrance with a name board, inside the hotel car park, which costs guests nothing. There is nothing to flag down and no walk out to the main road. Set the time by WhatsApp the evening before, and if the morning runs slowly another message moves the car to suit. Sit in the Open Lobby with the bags beside you and step out when the message arrives.
What a park ticket covers
The rides and the water zones sit behind the turnstiles and need a park ticket, bought before you travel or at the gate. Entry to the Shopping Avenue is generally free, so dinner and a walk in the evening need no ticket at all, which suits guests on bed and breakfast who are eating out anyway. The water zones are seasonal rather than open all year, and the park's official site lists what is running on the date you have in mind. Check it before you book the car, not after.
After the evening show, the ride back to Lara
An afternoon car rather than a morning one suits anyone staying for the after-dark programme on Shopping Avenue, but the show days and times change through the season, so the official schedule decides your plan. Your driver keeps his phone on: message him as the finale ends and, about 15 minutes on, the vehicle is waiting at the gate with the worst of the crush gone. The 26 km back to Güzeloba takes 25–35 min and costs exactly what the outward leg cost, in cash, with nothing added for the hour.
Night-show tip: Shopping Avenue empties towards the gates all at once when the evening programme finishes, so allow for the crowd rather than racing it. Show days and times are changed through the season, so check the park's official schedule before you fix the day. Message your driver as the finale ends and the vehicle is at the gate about 15 minutes later for the run back to Güzeloba.
Pickup: The hotel has a car park of its own, so the vehicle stands at the entrance with a name board rather than out on the Güzeloba street. Wait indoors until the WhatsApp message comes, then step outside.
A typical Land of Legends day from Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara
- Breakfast at the hotel, then a WhatsApp message to bring the car forward

Practical tips
- Fix the day against the park's official schedule, since show days and times are changed through the season.
- Rides and water zones sit behind a park ticket, while Shopping Avenue can be walked without buying anything.
- Pack swim things for the water zones and leave boot space for bringing them back wet.
- Send the children's ages by WhatsApp and free child seats go in before the car reaches Güzeloba.
- Bring cash in euros, dollars or lira, as the fare is settled with the driver at the end and there is no card machine.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara to The Land of Legends?
The fare is fixed for the vehicle rather than for each seat: from €40 in a Mercedes Vito holding up to six and €50 in the eight-seat minivan. Coming back costs what going out cost, the driver takes cash in euros, dollars or lira at the end, and nothing is added for the evening, with no meter running.
How long is the drive from Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara to the park?
It is 26 km and 25–35 min. The route leaves Güzeloba eastwards past the airport junction, runs through Aksu towards Belek and takes the Kadriye turn for the gates. Holiday traffic around Aksu and Belek can stretch that a little, so leave in good time for the morning opening.
Are child seats fitted for the drive to Kadriye?
Yes, at no charge. Baby carriers, child seats and boosters are fitted before the vehicle pulls up at the hotel entrance; send the ages with the WhatsApp booking. Either vehicle leaves space for a pushchair, a cool bag and the wet swim things on the way home.
Does the driver wait for the evening show?
Yes, and waiting costs nothing. There is no pickup time to commit to in advance: send a WhatsApp message as the finale ends and the vehicle pulls up at the gate about 15 minutes on, once the crowd has thinned. We drive 24/7, so a late finish does not change the fare you agreed.
Do you also run the Antalya Airport transfer to this hotel?
Yes. We meet arrivals at Antalya Airport with a name board, track the inbound flight and drive you to the Güzeloba entrance, with free child seats and the same fixed, per-vehicle pricing. Book the airport run and the Kadriye day in the same WhatsApp thread, and cash settles both.
