    I recently used the Antalya Airport transfer service, and it was fantastic! The booking was easy, and our driver was punctual and helpful. The ride to Alanya was comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this service for anyone traveling to Antalya to ensure a smooth arrival at your destination!

    • Replied by Mehmet| 04.06.2024

      Yes, Antalya Airport has facilities for passengers with reduced mobility, including wheelchair access and specially equipped toilets. It is recommended to inform airlines in advance of any special needs for assistance.

    Which airlines fly to Antalya Airport?
    • Replied by Mehmet| 03.06.2024

      Antalya Airport is an international airport and is served by a variety of airlines. Airlines that fly to the airport include Turkish Airlines, SunExpress, Pegasus Airlines, Lufthansa, Aeroflot, British Airways, and many more.

    Is it really true that you are not allowed to import stones or sand from Turkey into Germany? I'm going on vacation soon and a friend told me so, but is that really true? 
    Why?

    • Replied by Frido| 01.06.2024

      You can take stones home with you, but there is always a risk that this stone is an ancient stone! And then the Turks understand. If you don't kid customs officials, then it's all about smuggling ancient national treasures and it means prison in Turkey! This made a big splash in the press a few years ago, when a German tourist spent ages in prison because he had a supposedly antique stone in his luggage!

    • Replied by Diego| 02.06.2024

      in Turkey, all sorts of things are seen as a natural asset or as a national treasure (as has already been said here), which COULD be ancient. And it's not that unlikely. If you are unlucky, you will really get hold of a valuable, ancient stone. So, no matter how beautiful it is - leave it alone, the same goes for mussels (although I haven't found a single shell in TR yet!!)

    • Replied by Vinzenz| 03.06.2024

      So you can take sand with you. When it comes to stones, you have to be careful that they are not special stones (stones are not considered ANCIENT or cultural assets, but only mosaics or clay etc.) You would have to be careful with mussels, because they would also cause problems in Germany (ANIMAL WELFARE).

    • Replied by Carla| 04.06.2024

      Yes that's true! They believe that everything that is lying around is archeologically valuable

    • Replied by Hausmann| 04.06.2024

      It's 100% true and I would also take care of the basara and if possible not take any shells with me

    Sorry for the stupid question, but my kids are very picky and don't eat everything.  Is there a kebab shop at Antalya Airport?

    • Replied by Willi | 03.06.2024

      Hi Fanny, there is a kebab shop in Terminal 1 in the counter hall and one after passport control. However, the kebab in these shops does not taste as good as the ones in the city and is also very expensive. By the way, the question is very valid and is anything but stupid...

    What is the distance to Antalya Airport from the city centre?
    • Replied by Mehmet| 01.06.2024
      Antalya Airport is located about 13 kilometers east of Antalya city center. The journey to the city centre usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
  8. Posted by Frank| 01.06.2024|

    Hello, our tour operator informed us that they will pick up us 5 hours earlier for the return flight transfer to Airport . The drive from Side to Airport takes just over an hour. When I complained, the representative told me that they drive to several hotels and therefore had to pick us up early. Well, if I have booked a shuttle transfer I have to accept it willy-nilly :(
    We have now decided to take a private transfer from our hotel to () Airport. Which transfer company can you recommend to me? And what would such a transfer to the Airport approximately cost?

    • Replied by Mehmet| 01.06.2024

      Hello Frank, with shuttle transfers it is common for customers to be picked up quite early because, as you said, several hotels are served. And then there's the fact that you have to be at the airport at least 2 hours beforehand...
      Regarding your question if anyone can help; Now that I run this forum and, as an employee of the Meeting Point agency, I also take care of these topics, I can of course help you.
      As an agency that is a subsidiary of the FTI Group, we have a wide range of services. The services we offer also include transfer services to and from airports such as Antalya, Dalaman, Bodrum and Istanbul. If you would like to inquire about transfer prices and details about our private transfer services, I recommend you to click here to get more information about a private transfer from your hotel to () Airport.

    I don't know if I'm right with this question here, but how much fake clothes can you take from Turkey?

    • Replied by Mehmet| 01.06.2024

      You've come to the right place with this question:) For personal use, the introduction of fake clothes is permitted up to a maximum limit of 430 euros. However, if the suitcase is filled to the top with cheaper fake clothes, it can be expensive if customs come across it during an inspection - even if the fake clothes are intended for friends or family.

    • Replied by Derman| 02.06.2024

      Customs lists the travel allowances from a non-EU country in detail: For air and sea travel, goods up to a value of 430 euros may be imported duty-free. When entering the country by train or car, the limit is 300 euros.

    Hello, are there any car rental companies at Antalya Airport?

    • Replied by Mehmet| 04.06.2024

      Yes, there are a variety of car rental companies available at Antalya Airport, including international and local companies. Travelers can rent vehicles at the airport to explore the Antalya region.

  11. Posted by Santos| 29.05.2024|

    Hello, is it possible to book an airport transfer at Antalya Airport? Or should you take a taxi or other means of public transport, if there is one at all? 

    • Replied by Mehmet| 29.05.2024

      Yes, you can book airport transfers at Antalya Airport. There are several options for airport transfers, including private transfers, shuttle buses, and taxis. Here are some options:

      1. 1. Private Airport Transfers: You can book private airport transfers in advance with various providers. These transfers will pick you up directly at the airport and take you directly to your destination, be it a hotel, a holiday home or any other accommodation. This is often the most convenient and stress-free option.

      2. 2. Shuttle buses: There are also shuttle buses at Antalya Airport that serve various tourist spots. These tend to be a more cost-effective option, but may require longer wait times and additional stops.

      3. 3. Taxis: Taxis are available at Antalya Airport and are a convenient way to reach your destination. You can take an official taxi from the airport taxi rank, and prices are usually fixed.

      It is advisable to book your transfer in advance, (click here for airport transfer quotes) especially if you prefer a private transfer to ensure that a vehicle is ready for you. The choice of transfer depends on your personal preferences and budget. Private transfers usually offer the highest level of comfort and convenience, while shuttle buses and taxis are other options. For more questions and information you can read about transfers in my blog.

    For health reasons, I had a spice broth mixed in Turkey by a naturopath and had it bottled. That's all well and good, but how can I pass through the control at antalya airport?

      Dear Andrei... Don't ? do that
