Driver's note on Labranda Alantur: An all-inclusive resort on a 400-metre private pebble-and-sand beach at Kestel, east of Alanya, with a botanical garden, the La Brise spa and a kids' club.
The ride from Labranda Alantur
A park day from this end of the coast needs planning, because Kadriye is most of the way back towards Antalya. The car leaves the hotel entrance on Sahil Caddesi, runs west around the Alanya headland and follows the coast through Manavgat and Serik before the Kadriye turn brings the Kingdom of Dreams gates into view. That is 105 km each way, and 95 to 115 minutes of it, which argues for an early start and a driver who waits rather than a hunt for a ride at either end.
Distance is also why a fixed fare matters here. Ours is set before the car moves: from €120 for a Mercedes Vito and €150 for the eight-seat minivan, quoted for the vehicle, identical on the way back and unaffected by a slow afternoon on the coast road. You settle in cash in euros, dollars or lira, there is no evening supplement however late the park keeps you, and bookings are taken 24/7 by WhatsApp. Child seats and boosters are free, so send the ages with your message.
Labranda Alantur is an all-inclusive beach hotel with its own pebble-and-sand shore, outdoor pools, a children's club and a botanical garden, which makes a whole day away from it a deliberate choice. Most families take the Vito: parents and children fit with the cool bag, the towels and the damp swim things that come back from the aquapark, and the sliding door is easier on tired legs at the end. Two or three families travelling together take the minivan. If your room is in one of the garden bungalows rather than the main building, leave a few minutes to walk across to reception before the car arrives.
Where the car waits at Labranda Alantur
The driver turns off the seafront road and stops at the main reception entrance with a name board, rather than waiting out on Sahil Caddesi or down by the beach bar. Message us on WhatsApp when you finish breakfast and the car is in place by the time you reach the lobby. Rooms here sit either in the main building or in bungalows set among the garden, so allow a little time to walk across if you are in the latter, and bring the swim bags down with you.
An early car out of Kestel
The one thing worth getting right from this end of the coast is the start. With 105 km between the hotel and Kadriye, an early car turns a long drive into a full day at the park rather than a rushed afternoon, and it keeps you ahead of the coast-road traffic through Manavgat. Take what you need for the aquapark in a single bag, since the boot is loaded once and stays shut until Kadriye. Anyone who would rather break the journey can ask the driver to stop, and it costs nothing.
The night show and the long run home
Because the drive back east is 95 to 115 minutes, the evening is the part to think about. The show on Shopping Avenue, with its parade, dancing fountains and castle finale, is free to walk to and worth staying for, and the driver waits through it without charge. Message him as the last fountains fall and the car reaches the gate about 15 minutes later, once the crowds have moved. Most children are asleep before the car is past Manavgat, and the fare agreed that morning is still the fare when you reach Kestel.
Night-show tip: The parade, the dancing fountains and the castle finale all take place on Shopping Avenue, which lies outside the turnstiles and asks for no park ticket, so a Kestel family can ride all afternoon, eat beside the canal and still be there for it. Message the driver on WhatsApp when the finale ends; he waits at no extra charge and brings the car round about 15 minutes later, once the gate has emptied, for the long run back east.
Pickup: The car waits at the main reception entrance of Labranda Alantur, off Sahil Caddesi, with a name board, not at the beach or the pool bar. Wait in the lobby and walk out when the driver messages you.
A typical Land of Legends day from Labranda Alantur
- Early breakfast at Labranda Alantur, then a WhatsApp message to the driver
- The car waits at the reception entrance off Sahil Caddesi; swim bags into the boot
- West around the Alanya headland and along the coast through Manavgat and Serik
- Through the gates at Kadriye soon after the park opens, while the queues are short
- The aquapark through the afternoon, then dinner beside the canal on Shopping Avenue
- A message on WhatsApp once the finale ends, then the long drive back to Kestel
Practical tips
- Book the earliest car you can face; with 105 km to cover, the early start buys you the park rather than the road.
- Give the children's ages on WhatsApp so seats and boosters are in the car before it reaches the Kestel seafront.
- Pack the aquapark things and a cool bag into one holdall, as the boot is loaded at the hotel and opened again at Kadriye.
- Ask for a stop part-way in either direction; the driver will pull in and it adds nothing to the fare.
- Carry cash in euros, dollars or lira for the driver, since nothing is paid in advance and there is no card machine in the car.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Labranda Alantur to The Land of Legends?
The fare is fixed for the vehicle: from €120 for a Mercedes Vito carrying up to six and €150 for the minivan carrying up to eight. The return to Kestel costs the same, is paid to the driver in cash in euros, dollars or lira, and carries no evening supplement.
How far is The Land of Legends from Labranda Alantur?
The run is 105 km and 95 to 115 minutes of driving in each direction. The car heads west around the Alanya headland and follows the coast until the Kadriye turn. Traffic in the towns is what moves the timing, and it never moves the fare.
Is the drive too long for a day trip with children?
Families from Kestel do it regularly, but plan for an early car so the day at the park is longer than the road. Free child seats and boosters are fitted before the car reaches the hotel, there is room in the boot for a cool bag and swim things, and the driver will stop on the Manavgat stretch if anyone needs a break.
Does the driver wait until we are ready to leave the park?
Yes. There is no set return time to agree in advance and no charge for waiting. Send a WhatsApp message when you have had enough, or as the finale ends, and the car is at the gate about 15 minutes later for the drive back to the Kestel seafront.
Do you also run the Antalya Airport transfer to Labranda Alantur?
Yes. Arrivals are met in the hall with a name board, waiting while you clear the terminal costs nothing, and the car then runs east along the coast to Kestel. Pricing works the same way, fixed for the vehicle and agreed beforehand, child seats are free, and the airport leg and the park day can be settled in one WhatsApp conversation.
