About this place

Alanya Castle

Alanya Castle is a 13th-century Seljuk citadel crowning Alanya's coastal peninsula, 129 km from Antalya Airport — a 2 hours 8 minutes drive.

Alanya Castle is a 13th-century Seljuk citadel crowning the rocky peninsula that defines Alanya's coastline. Within its walls, the inner castle (İç Kale), the harbourside Kızıl Kule (Red Tower), and the Tersane (Seljuk shipyard) trace centuries of maritime defence, while the ramparts open onto panoramic views over Cleopatra Beach and the Mediterranean below.

The castle sits 129 km east of Antalya Airport, a 2 hours 8 minutes drive via the D400 — most visitors treat it as a full day trip from the airport rather than a stopover. Transfers drop at the inner-castle gate, vehicle-accessible parking just below İç Kale, putting you at the entrance without the steep uphill walk from the harbour.

Vehicle access reaches a parking area near the inner castle gate, from where the citadel grounds are explored entirely on foot across cobblestoned, partly steep terrain — sturdy shoes are essential. The Red Tower and Seljuk shipyard at sea level sit at the harbour, reached separately and connected to the upper citadel by a steep 45-60 minute walking path.

Practical information

Time Needed
Allow 3-4 hours to cover the inner castle, ramparts, and the harbourside sites at your own pace.
Footwear & Terrain
Cobblestoned and partly steep pathways throughout the citadel call for sturdy, closed-toe shoes rather than sandals.
Shade & Water
Shade is limited across the hilltop ramparts; carry water, especially on the exposed walk between the two sites.
Best Time of Day
Early morning light suits photographs of the ramparts and sea views, before the hilltop grows busy with visitors.

Why MovXtra for your Alanya Castle transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Castle hilltop road — parking and drop-off point confirmed

The road to Alanya Castle winds steeply uphill with limited parking near the inner castle gate. We know the best drop-off point, so you reach İç Kale's entrance without wasted detours or wrong turns.

Benefit 2

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Alanya Castle transfer rate is agreed before you travel — 129 km, one route, one price. No meter, no traffic surcharge, no negotiation at the roadside after a long flight.

Benefit 3

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so your 129 km journey to Alanya Castle runs under proper commercial cover, not an informal arrangement.

Benefit 4

Driver at your pickup point, no searching

Your driver's first stop is the pickup address on your booking — your hotel, your villa, or any address in the region. Flying in? They wait in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall with your name on a sign, ready for the 129 km run east to Alanya. Because the castle is a full-day visit, the same driver stays with you rather than leaving — collect your bags and go, no taxi queues or fresh haggling for the run back.

Private transfer vs. taxi

Airport taxis to Alanya Castle run on the meter, so a 129 km trip can cost more in holiday traffic or on a longer route — and negotiating a return fare from a hilltop citadel with patchy signal is its own problem. A pre-booked transfer fixes the route and price in advance.

Planning Your Return Trip

Because Alanya Castle is a full day trip from the airport, your vehicle and driver stay with you for the day rather than a separate return booking. Agree a pick-up time when you're ready — from the same drop-off point — and head straight back to Antalya.

“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”

“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

The price is per vehicle, not per person. Whether you're travelling solo or as a group of up to the vehicle's capacity, the fixed rate for the 129 km transfer to Alanya Castle stays the same — split it however suits your party.

How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Alanya Castle?

The drive from Antalya Airport to Alanya Castle covers 129 km and takes 2 hours 8 minutes in normal traffic. A taxi runs the same route on the meter in similar time; there's no direct public transport link from the airport, so a private transfer is the practical option.

Does the driver wait, or come back later?

For Alanya Castle, your driver and vehicle stay with you for the day rather than leaving and coming back — since it's treated as a full day trip from the airport. You agree your return time on the day, and the same car takes you back to Antalya.

Where will I meet my driver, and where does the transfer drop me off?

Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region. Arriving on a flight? They meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, just past baggage claim. At Alanya Castle, the transfer drops you at the inner-castle gate — the vehicle-accessible parking point closest to the citadel's entrance.

Can I request a child seat, and is there room for luggage?

Yes — request a child seat when you book, at no extra charge, and we'll have it fitted before you arrive. Standard vehicles carry your luggage without trouble; for larger groups or extra bags heading to Alanya Castle, let us know and we'll assign a bigger vehicle.

What happens if my flight to Antalya is delayed?

If your trip starts at Antalya Airport, we check your flight before pickup and adjust it to your actual landing time at no extra cost. This applies whether you're heading straight to Alanya Castle or elsewhere first.
