The route from Antalya Airport to Tekirova
Tekirova sits 70 km south-west of Antalya Airport, positioned at the quiet southern tip of the Kemer district. The drive takes around 68 minutes under standard road conditions.
After exiting the airport premises, your driver joins the main D400 coastal highway. The route skirts around the edge of Antalya city before heading south towards the mountains. As you pass through the Kemer region, the landscape opens up to showcase the pine-forested Taurus Mountains on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other.
Journey times stay predictable for most of the year, though time of day makes a minor difference. Early morning and late-night journeys usually take the standard 68 minutes because the highway is clear. During peak summer afternoons, moderate traffic around the city junction can add 10 to 15 minutes to your trip.
What Tekirova is known for
Tekirova is best known for its spacious beachfront resorts, clear waters, and peaceful surroundings. The coast here features a mixture of sand and smooth pebbles, which keeps the sea unusually clear and ideal for swimming.
The town sits in the shadow of Mount Tahtalı, placing you close to several local landmarks. The ancient forest-covered ruins of Phaselis are just a short drive up the coast, while the Olympos Cable Car station sits nearby for trips to the summit.
