How Far Is Side from Antalya Airport?

It is important to remember that the Side tourism area extends well beyond Side town centre.

Popular hotel and resort areas include Evrenseki, Kumköy, Ilıca, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun, Titreyengöl and Kızılağaç.

As these areas are located at different points along the coastline, the actual distance from Antalya Airport can vary.

How Long Does It Take from Antalya Airport to Side?

A private transfer from Antalya Airport to Side normally takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic and your exact destination.

Travel time may vary according to:

● Your hotel's location

● Traffic conditions

● Seasonal traffic

● Road conditions

● Your final destination in the Side and Manavgat area

During the busy summer season, increased traffic on the Antalya–Serik–Manavgat route may extend the journey time.

Hotels in Çolaklı, Gündoğdu and Evrenseki are located closer to Antalya, while transfers to Sorgun, Titreyengöl or Kızılağaç may take slightly longer.

Transportation Options from Antalya Airport to Side

Private Airport Transfer: Your vehicle is arranged in advance according to your flight details. After arriving at Antalya Airport, you can travel directly to your hotel without waiting for other passengers or making additional transfers.

Taxi: Taxis are available outside the airport terminals and can take you directly to Side. As Side is located outside Antalya city centre, it is advisable to consider the estimated fare before starting your journey.
