About this place
Temple of Apollo, Side
The Temple of Apollo is Side's 2nd-century AD marble landmark on the tip of the peninsula, 66 km (1 hour 11 minutes) from Antalya Airport.
The Temple of Apollo stands at the tip of the Side peninsula, its re-erected white columns rising above the sea. Built in the 2nd century AD, it is the emblem of Side and its most romantic spot, especially at sunset, when the marble glows gold above the harbour and the ancient town — bathhouses, agora and a great theatre — comes alive.
Side is 66 km from Antalya Airport, a 1 hour 11 minutes drive east along the coastal road through Serik and Manavgat — easily done as a day trip. Cars cannot enter Side's pedestrianised old town, so your driver drops you at the peninsula's edge, by the old town entrance, for a short walk through the ruins to the temple and seafront.
The temple sits at the water's edge within Side's ancient city, reached along cobbled old-town lanes lined with shops and restaurants, so comfortable, flat shoes are worth wearing over the uneven stone. The temple itself is open ground with no shelter, and the wider site has little shade, so the exposed point can feel hot at midday.
Practical information
- Time Needed
- Allow around two hours to see the temple, theatre and harbour together within Side's compact old town.
- Footwear & Terrain
- Cobbled old-town lanes lead to the temple platform; flat, comfortable shoes make the uneven stone easier underfoot.
- Shade & Water
- The temple point has little shade, so bring water and sun protection, especially in the summer months.
- Best Time of Day
- Late afternoon into sunset is best, when the marble columns catch the light above the harbour.
Why MovXtra for your Temple of Apollo transfer?
4 key benefits
Benefit 2
Driver waiting at your pickup point
You set the pickup address at booking — hotel reception, villa gate, or any other address in the region — and the driver comes there. If you are arriving by air, they are in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall with your name on a sign before you clear customs. Collect your luggage and go straight to the car — no taxi rank, no queuing for a fare.
Benefit 3
Side old town — we park, you walk in
Side's pedestrianised old town is closed to vehicles, so we drop you at the edge of the peninsula, the closest permitted point to the Temple of Apollo, for a short walk in through the ruins.
Benefit 4
Licensed and insured
MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, with vetted drivers and roadworthy vehicles for total peace of mind.
Private transfer vs. taxi
Airport taxis to Side run on the meter, so the fare climbs with traffic through Serik and Manavgat, rarely fixed until you negotiate on arrival. A pre-booked transfer locks in route, price and pickup time in advance — no meter, no bargaining, and no uncertainty about your return fare.
Planning Your Return Trip
Because Side is a day trip, your driver and vehicle stay with you for the day rather than dropping and leaving. You agree a pickup time and place in advance, and the same car brings you back whenever you're ready.

Verified on GoogleView all reviews on Google“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!”
“Everything was great, thank you! The transfer went very smoothly, and the drivers were punctual, professional, and very kind. We really appreciated the service.”

Temple of Apollo transfer — frequently asked questions
Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.
Tap a question to view details.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
The price is per vehicle, not per person. One fixed fare covers the whole car — up to its passenger limit — so groups and families travelling together to Side pay the same quoted price, however many are on board.
Does the driver wait, or do I need to book a separate return transfer?
For a day trip like Side, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than leaving after drop-off. You simply agree a pickup time and place before setting off, and the same car brings you back — no second booking needed.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Temple of Apollo, Side?
The drive from Antalya Airport to the Temple of Apollo in Side covers 66 km and takes 1 hour 11 minutes by road, whether in a private transfer or a metered taxi; there is no direct public transport service between the airport and Side.
Where does the driver drop me off at the Temple of Apollo?
Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region; if you're arriving on a flight, they meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall. Either way, you're dropped at the edge of Side's peninsula, the closest point vehicles can reach, since the old town is pedestrianised. From there it's a short walk through the ruins to the temple itself.
Can I request a child seat, and how much luggage fits in the car?
Child seats can be requested when you book — just tell us the child's age so we bring the right size. Standard vehicles fit the usual airport luggage allowance; if you have extra bags or sports equipment, mention it beforehand so we send a larger vehicle.
What happens if my flight 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. For the return leg from Side, simply confirm your pickup time with your driver in advance so the car is waiting when you're ready.
