Your options from the airport
Private transfer
With a pre-booked transfer, the driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you straight to your hotel. The price is fixed per vehicle, so it is often good value for families and groups. On AirportHotelTransfer.com, transfers from Antalya Airport to Lara and Kundu hotels start from €35 per vehicle.
Taxi
Because the distance is short, a metered taxi is a practical alternative. Taxis wait outside each arrivals hall. Night fares can be higher, and larger groups may need more than one car.
Public transport
The AntRay tram connects the airport with the city centre but does not run along the Lara–Kundu coast. Some city bus lines serve the Lara direction less frequently; check the Antalya public transport website before relying on them, especially with luggage.
