How far is Kaleici from Antalya Airport?

Kaleici is approximately 16 km from Antalya Airport. Typical transfer time is around 25-30 minutes in normal conditions and up to about 45 minutes during peak afternoon city traffic. Door-to-door timing also varies by terminal, baggage time, and hotel access point, so this range gives a realistic planning window rather than just a map estimate.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Your driver monitors your actual landing time for your Kaleici arrival, not your scheduled arrival. If your flight runs late, the driver adjusts and is still inside the arrivals hall when you come through baggage claim. There is no extra charge for delays, regardless of how long the flight runs over.

Where will I meet my driver at Antalya Airport?

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall after baggage claim, holding a sign with your name. We send driver details and pickup instructions on WhatsApp before landing. Terminal information is included in your confirmation, so you can walk directly to the correct meeting point without delay.

How do I pay for the transfer?

You pay the driver in cash on the day of travel. No credit card is required to make a booking. The price is fixed at the time you book, so the amount you see is the amount you pay.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes - free cancellation is available on your Kaleici transfer booking. If your plans change, send us a message on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the cancellation straight away. No forms, no call centres. Full terms are shown at the time of booking.

How does my driver reach my hotel inside Kaleici - the streets are very narrow?

Your hotel name and address are confirmed at booking, and your driver approaches via the closest external road with vehicle access for your specific property. Kaleici has multiple perimeter access points - the correct one depends on whether your accommodation is near the Roman harbor, the Hadrian's Gate area, or the upper old town streets. Your driver selects the right approach before leaving the airport. No navigation improvisation on the day of arrival.

Is Uber available in Antalya Airport?

Uber is available in Antalya, but it generally dispatches licensed yellow taxis rather than a separate rideshare fleet. Pickup flow and wait time can still vary by terminal traffic and local taxi availability. If you want fixed pricing and a pre-confirmed meet point inside arrivals, a pre-booked private transfer is usually more predictable.

How do we arrange the return transfer from Kaleici to the airport?

Send your pickup time, hotel name, and flight details on WhatsApp to confirm your return. The same fixed-price, door-to-door service applies both ways. Your driver collects from your accommodation and plans pickup timing so you reach the terminal with comfortable buffer before departure.

Why choose MovXtra for the Kaleici route

Restricted streets, correct access point

Kaleici Old Town has narrow stone-paved streets that are not all vehicle-accessible. Many lanes are pedestrian-only, and navigation apps do not always reflect current access restrictions. Your driver knows which approach road reaches the closest vehicle access point for your specific hotel - your address is confirmed at booking, not improvised on arrival.

Harbor-level or upper old town - two different approaches

Properties near the Roman harbor and marina approach from one direction; boutique hotels in the upper old town near Hadrian's Gate require a different route entirely. Confirming your specific address at booking means your driver selects the correct approach before leaving the airport. There is no single drop-off point for Kaleici — there are several, and only one is right for your accommodation.

Navigation apps miss Kaleici addresses

Street addresses inside Kaleici do not always correspond to accessible vehicle routes. Alleys carry names that do not appear on digital maps, and hotel entrances in the walled district are often reached through passages too narrow for a vehicle. Your hotel name is sufficient — your driver knows the physical location and approaches from the correct external road without on-the-day guesswork.

Fixed-price transfer, no surprises

Antalya city traffic is the main timing variable on this route — particularly in summer afternoons when the approach to the old quarter slows. Your driver monitors actual landing time and plans the route to your access point accordingly. The price confirmed at booking does not change regardless of traffic or how long the flight runs over.

Kaleici Transfer from Antalya Airport: Old Town Access and Route

At approximately 16 km from the airport, this is a short run by distance - around 25-30 minutes in normal conditions. What takes local knowledge is the final stretch: Antalya city traffic on the approach and then the vehicle access constraints of the walled district itself.

Most international charter flights into Antalya use Terminal 2; domestic arrivals use Terminal 1. From the airport, the city approach roads carry traffic through the main Antalya arteries toward the old quarter. The Kaleici perimeter is where access restrictions begin - your driver reaches the correct entry point for your specific accommodation.

Peak season - June through September - adds meaningful time to the city approach. Summer afternoon traffic builds from 15:00 onwards, particularly on weekend arrivals when Antalya city is at its busiest. Morning and late-evening landings move more freely through the city. Outside peak months, the journey from terminal to Old Town drop-off typically runs close to 25 minutes.

Arriving at a boutique hotel in Kaleici, your driver stops at the closest vehicle-accessible point to your specific property. Some hotels sit a short walk from the nearest road; others have entrances that can be reached directly. Your full address is confirmed at booking so that choice is made before the journey begins, not on arrival.

Arriving in Kaleici: what to know about vehicle access

Kaleici is a walled district with streets built for foot traffic, not vehicles. Access is restricted - certain lanes are pedestrian-only, and larger vehicles cannot navigate many of the internal alleys. Your driver reaches the closest accessible drop-off point for your specific accommodation. What that point is depends on whether your hotel sits near the Roman harbor, along the upper walls, or within the alley network around Hadrian's Gate.

Boutique hotels in Kaleici identify their nearest vehicle access point via the external ring roads surrounding the old town. Some have this noted in their own check-in instructions; many do not. Your hotel name and any landmark reference are confirmed at booking. Your driver knows where to stop and how to reach the correct entry for your property - no navigation trial-and-error at the end of a journey.

Taxi vs Private Transfer to Kaleici Old Town

Taxi service is available from Antalya Airport to Kaleici, but the Old Town access layout can be confusing for first-time arrivals. A private transfer confirms your exact access point before pickup and avoids uncertainty at the perimeter roads.

Kaleici has restricted lanes and different entry points depending on property location. Private transfer improves arrival quality because the route and drop-off point are pre-confirmed for your hotel, not decided ad hoc at the end of the trip.

If your priority is the most direct and low-stress Old Town arrival, private transfer is generally the stronger option. Taxi remains an alternative for flexible travelers with simple drop-off needs.

Nearby routes

Many travelers arriving at Antalya Airport continue through the same connected route network: Antalya Airport to Lara transfer, Antalya Airport to Kundu transfer, Antalya Airport to Belek transfer, Antalya Airport to Konyaalti transfer, and Antalya Airport to Kemer transfer. Kaleici is the historic core route within the Antalya City Center cluster.
