The journey from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Oba covers 128 km along the D400 highway. The typical travel time is 115 minutes, taking you straight to your hotel or private residence without unnecessary stops or shuttle detours. Oba sits just east of Alanya city centre, offering a relaxed coastal setting with easy access to the broader region.
What the Route Is Like
After leaving Antalya Airport, your driver joins the main D400 coastal highway heading east. The route passes through the agricultural plains of Serik, crosses the Manavgat region, and skirts past coastal resorts before arriving in the Alanya district. The highway is a wide dual-carriageway, providing a smooth and straightforward drive.
Journey times can fluctuate slightly depending on the time of day:
- Daytime traffic (08:00 to 19:00): Expect the journey to take the full 115 minutes. Traffic is typically heavier around town intersections near Manavgat and Konaklı.
- Night and early morning (19:00 to 08:00): Clearer roads mean travel is usually straightforward, often taking closer to 105 minutes.
What Oba Has to Offer
Oba is a green, low-rise district known for its pleasant pedestrian avenues, orange trees, and relaxed atmosphere. It provides a quieter alternative to central Alanya while keeping you within a short bus ride from Alanya Castle and the harbour area.
The local beachfront consists of sand and fine shingle, bordered by a long seaside promenade ideal for walking or cycling. Oba is also famous for its weekly street markets selling fresh regional produce, textiles, and spices. Further inland along the Oba River, you will find scenic picnic spots and cool waterside restaurants popular during the hot summer months.
Practical Arrival Tips
- Locating your driver: After passing through baggage reclaim and customs, step through the main exit doors of the arrivals hall. Your driver will be waiting in the designated greeting area holding a sign with your name clearly displayed.
- Flight tracking: We monitor all incoming flights in real time. If your flight arrives early or is delayed, your driver will adjust their schedule so someone is always waiting for you when you step outside.
- Child safety seats: If you travel with young children, request infant or booster seats during booking so we can fit them before your vehicle arrives at the airport.
- Currency: While euros and British pounds are widely accepted across Oba, having a small amount of Turkish lira is useful for small purchases at local shops or street markets.
