About this place
Patara Beach
Patara is an 18 km national-park beach backed by Lycian ruins, near Kalkan — about 237 km and 3 hours 21 minutes from Antalya Airport (AYT).
Patara Beach is an 18 km expanse of pristine sand on Turkey's southwest coast, designated a national park to protect nesting Caretta caretta turtles. Backing the beach are the ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Patara, including a Roman amphitheatre and the recently restored bouleuterion (parliament building) of the Lycian League.
Patara is about 237 km from Antalya Airport — at the far western edge of MovXtra's coverage area, roughly 3 hours 21 minutes each way via the coastal D400. Most visitors combine Patara with a Kalkan or Kaş stay rather than making it an airport day-trip; a private transfer that waits suits those who do visit for the day.
The beach is reached by paved road from the village of Gelemiş, with a sandy final approach; the ruins lie between the village and the sand and share the same ticket. There are no hotels or buildings on the beach itself and little natural shade, so bring your own.
Practical information
- Time Needed
- Best as a full day, or from a Kalkan or Kaş base — it is over three hours each way from the airport.
- Terrain & Access
- Paved road to a car park by the ruins, then a short sandy walk onto the open 18 km beach.
- What to Bring
- Your own shade, water and sun protection — the beach is long and open with very little natural shade.
- Best Time of Day
- Mornings and late afternoons are calmer; as a turtle-nesting beach, parts may be roped off in season.
Why MovXtra for your Patara Beach transfer?
4 key benefits
Benefit 2
A driver who waits the day out
At this distance a one-way taxi makes little sense. The same vehicle stays with you and takes you back when you are ready — which matters most on a three-hour-plus run.
Benefit 3
Licensed and insured
MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, which counts on a long west-coast journey.
Benefit 4
One fixed price, agreed up front
A far-western run is where meters and roadside quotes hurt most. Your price is fixed before you set off, one figure for the whole trip — no surprise at the end of a long day.
Private transfer vs. taxi
Few taxis will run this far west at a fair fixed fare, and none will wait out a full day at the beach. Your MovXtra price is agreed before you travel and covers the round trip — no meter, no destination surprise.
Planning Your Return Trip
There is no taxi rank at Patara, so the return is arranged in advance. Your driver waits at the beach car park and takes you back at the time you set, at the same fixed price.

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.”

Patara Beach 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?
Per vehicle. One fixed price covers the car for the whole trip, up to the seats you book, so a group shares one fare rather than paying per person.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Patara Beach?
The private transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Patara takes about 3 hours 21 minutes each way, around 237 km along the coastal D400. It is at the far western edge of the region, so many visitors base themselves in Kalkan or Kaş; there is no direct bus, so a booked transfer is the practical option.
Does the driver wait at the beach?
Yes. On a full-day visit the driver stays and takes you back at the time you choose — there is no taxi rank at Patara for the return.
Where do I meet the driver, and where does it drop 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.
Can I add a child seat, and is there room for beach gear?
Yes — add a child seat free at booking, and the vans and minibuses have room for the whole group's beach gear on a long trip.
What 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 a long west-coast trip we confirm timings with you in advance.
