Direct transfers from Antalya Airport to Kumköy
Kumköy sits 60 km east of Antalya Airport (AYT). The drive follows the main D400 coastal highway, passing through the agricultural plains of Serik before reaching the west side of the Side peninsula. A typical journey takes around 55 minutes door to door.
Journey times can vary slightly depending on the time of day. Between 10:00 and 17:00 during the peak summer months, heavier traffic near airport junctions and town entrances may add 10 to 15 minutes to your trip. Late evening and early morning transfers are usually faster, taking roughly 45 to 50 minutes.
What to expect when you arrive at AYT
When you land at Antalya Airport and collect your luggage, walk straight out into the main arrivals terminal hall. Your driver will be waiting for you holding a board with your name on it.
We track your flight in real time using your flight number, so your driver adjusts your pickup time automatically if your flight is delayed. You will be escorted directly to your vehicle. Because we operate our own fleet and employ our drivers directly, you travel in a clean, fully insured private vehicle reserved exclusively for your group. There are no shared shuttles and no unexpected stops.
About Kumköy
Kumköy is a resort area situated just west of historic Side. It is best known for its long stretches of fine golden sand and gently sloping seabed, which make the sea calm and safe for families with young children.
The town centre features pedestrianised shopping avenues filled with local boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. It is also situated only 5 km from Side's ancient old town, giving you easy access to historical landmarks like the Temple of Apollo and the Roman theatre during your stay.
Practical tips for your Kumköy transfer
To help your transfer run as smoothly as possible, keep these tips in mind when planning your arrival:
- Request child seats in advance: If you are travelling with infants or young children, request your child seat during booking so we can have it fitted before picking you up.
- Keep your address handy: Having your hotel name or private rental address saved on your phone helps your driver navigate directly to the reception door.
- Local currency: While major credit cards are widely accepted across Kumköy, having a small amount of cash in Turkish lira or euros is helpful for small airport expenses or tips.
