Antalya Airport Taxi Fares 2026, Region by Region
Taxis from Antalya Airport (AYT) run on the meter. The 2026 tariff is 40 TL to start plus 50 TL per kilometre, with a minimum of 200 TL for short rides. That puts the meter at about 650 TL to Lara, about 1,800 TL to Belek, about 2,800 TL to Kemer, about 3,550 TL to Side and about 6,300 TL to Alanya. Below are the estimates region by region, what makes the fare go up and how a taxi compares with a transfer booked in advance.
Antalya taxi tariff 2026
Taxi fares in Antalya are set by the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Council. The tariff in force since 23 March 2026:
| Item | Fare |
|---|---|
| Start (flag fall) | 40 TL |
| Per kilometre | 50 TL |
| Short ride (minimum fare) | 200 TL |
| Night rate | None; the same tariff day and night |
Taxis from the airport use the same tariff and the meter. Every terminal has an official taxi rank at the arrivals exit, the drivers wear airport ID tags and a fare board stands next to the rank. The tariff can change once or twice a year, so look at the board before you get in.
Taxi fares by region
These amounts are not published fares but our own estimates: we multiplied the tariff by the road distance from the airport to the centre of each area and assumed normal traffic. The amount changes a little with where your hotel is and with traffic.
| Destination | Distance | Driving time | Meter fare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lara, Kundu | About 12 km | 15–25 min | About 650 TL |
| City centre, Kaleiçi | About 13 km | 20–30 min | About 700 TL |
| Konyaaltı | About 25 km | 30–45 min | About 1,300 TL |
| Belek | About 35 km | 30–40 min | About 1,800 TL |
| Beldibi | About 45 km | 40–55 min | About 2,300 TL |
| Kemer | About 55 km | 50–65 min | About 2,800 TL |
| Side, Manavgat | About 70 km | 55–75 min | About 3,550 TL |
| Tekirova | About 75 km | 65–80 min | About 3,800 TL |
| Okurcalar, Avsallar | About 100 km | 80–105 min | About 5,050 TL |
| Alanya centre | About 125 km | 100–130 min | About 6,300 TL |
| Mahmutlar | About 140 km | 115–145 min | About 7,050 TL |
On the way back, from your hotel to the airport, the meter runs on the same tariff, so the fare is about the same.
What makes the taxi fare go up?
- Summer traffic. In July and August the coast road (D400) slows down; in slow traffic the meter also counts waiting time, so the ride to Side or Alanya can cost more than the table says.
- A larger group. A taxi takes at most four passengers. Five or more of you need two taxis: two taxis to Side come to about 7,100 TL.
- Luggage. Large suitcases, a golf bag or a pushchair may not fit in the boot of a saloon taxi.
- Where your hotel is. The table is for the centre of each area; hotels east of Belek or south of Kemer add a few kilometres.
Taxi or a transfer booked in advance?
| Taxi | Transfer booked in advance | |
|---|---|---|
| Fare | On the meter, changes with traffic | Fixed per vehicle, known when you book |
| Passengers | Up to 4 | Minivans and minibuses for larger groups and lots of luggage |
| Meeting | You walk to the rank yourself | The driver waits in the terminal with a sign showing your name |
| Delays | Whichever taxi is at the rank | We track your flight; delays of up to 6 hours cost nothing extra and the first 90 minutes after landing are free |
| Child seat | Usually none | Added when you book |
| Payment | Turkish lira, in cash or by card if the taxi has a card reader | Cash to the driver at the end of the ride: Turkish lira, euros or US dollars |
For short rides such as Lara or the city centre, two people with little luggage do fine with a taxi. If you are going beyond Belek, travelling as a group or landing at night, a fixed-price transfer is usually more comfortable and more predictable. Our transfer prices by vehicle type are on each route page:
- Antalya Airport to Belek transfer
- Antalya Airport to Kemer transfer
- Antalya Airport to Side transfer
- Antalya Airport to Alanya transfer
Our Antalya Airport transfer page shows where the driver waits at each terminal. Landing late? Our guide Arriving at Antalya Airport late at night also lists the last tram and bus times.
When you take a taxi
- Use the official rank. Do not go with people who approach you inside the terminal offering a ride.
- Make sure the meter runs from the start and do not agree to a haggled fixed amount.
- Have your hotel's name and address ready on your phone, ideally in Turkish.
- Carry some Turkish lira in cash; not every taxi has a card reader, and they do not always work.
- Ask for a receipt; if anything goes wrong, the plate number and time help.
