About this place

Phaselis Ancient City

Phaselis is a ruined Lycian harbour city on a pine-forested peninsula near Tekirova, 73 km (1 hour 13 minutes) from Antalya Airport.

Phaselis was a Lycian harbour city built across a pine-clad peninsula, its three ancient harbours still tracing the shoreline. A ruined colonnaded avenue links the theatre, baths and aqueduct beneath umbrella pines, while the same pebble bays that sheltered the ancient fleet remain open for swimming — archaeology and beach in one visit.

Phaselis lies 73 km southwest of Antalya Airport, a drive of 1 hour 13 minutes each way through pine forest to the ticketed gate and car park at the site's forest entrance. There is no direct public transport from the airport, so most visitors treat Phaselis as a full day trip by private transfer, pairing the ruins with a swim.

From the forest-entrance car park, it is about a ten-minute walk down to the shore, the ruins spread across shaded woodland paths linking the site's three harbours. Trainers or beach shoes suit these tracks and the pebble beaches better than sandals. There are toilets and showers at the south harbour and a small café near the aqueduct, though options are limited, so bring your own water.

Practical information

Time Needed
Most visitors spend two to three hours exploring the ruins and swimming.
Footwear & Terrain
Forest paths link the harbours and ruins; trainers suit the tracks and pebble shoreline better than sandals.
Shade & Water
Umbrella pines shade most of the site, and a small café near the aqueduct sells snacks and drinks — but options are limited, so bring your own water.
Best Time of Day
Mornings are quietest, before coach tour groups arrive at the site.

Why MovXtra for your Phaselis transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so your Phaselis journey runs to professional Turkish transport standards, not an unlicensed private arrangement.

Benefit 2

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Phaselis rate is set at booking, with no meter running and no surcharge for the coastal detour through Kemer — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Benefit 3

Driver at your pickup point, no searching

Your driver is waiting at the pickup address on your booking — a hotel, a villa or any address in the region — so you walk out and the car is there, with no taxi rank and no haggling over the Phaselis fare. Arriving by air? They are waiting for you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall and you go straight from baggage claim to the car.

Benefit 4

Forest-road access confirmed in advance

Phaselis is reached via a pine-forest access road off the D400 coast highway near Tekirova, ending at a car park by the site's ticketed gate. We confirm this route before you leave the airport.

Private transfer vs. taxi

Airport taxis to Phaselis run on the meter, so the fare climbs with traffic along the coast road, and arranging a return from a remote forest site with no taxi rank is difficult. A pre-booked transfer fixes the price and includes the driver waiting.

Planning Your Return Trip

Because Phaselis is a full day trip, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than leaving after drop-off. Agree your return time in advance — after a couple of hours at the ruins, or a longer beach afternoon.

“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!”

Phaselis 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 fare is per vehicle, not per person, so the fixed price covers everyone travelling together up to the vehicle's capacity — a group or family pays the same total as a solo traveller on the same route.

Does the driver wait, or do I need to book a separate return?

Yes. Since Phaselis is treated as a day trip, your driver and vehicle wait on site rather than leaving after drop-off, so you don't need to book a separate return — just agree your pick-up time before you head off to explore.

How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Phaselis Ancient City?

The drive from Antalya Airport to Phaselis Ancient City covers 73 km and takes 1 hour 13 minutes by private transfer or taxi, both following the same coast road; there is no direct public transport service from the airport to the site itself.

Where do 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 Phaselis, you're dropped at the car park by the site's ticketed forest-gate entrance near Tekirova, a walk down through the forest to the ruins.

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

Yes — child seats are available on request; let us know ages when booking so the right seat is ready. Vehicles are sized for your party's luggage too, so mention bags, beach gear or buggies in advance and we'll match the vehicle accordingly.

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. Your driver adjusts pickup to your actual landing time at no extra charge, and waits at arrivals until you clear baggage and customs before heading to Phaselis.
