Transfer from Antalya Airport to Tosmur
The journey from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Tosmur covers 130 km along the southern coast of Türkiye. The typical driving time is around 118 minutes, taking you east along the main D400 highway past resort areas like Belek, Side, and Manavgat before reaching the eastern side of Alanya.
What the drive is like
After leaving the airport, your vehicle joins the main D400 coastal route. The highway is modern, well-maintained, and mostly multi-lane. Along the way, you will catch views of the Mediterranean coastline to your right and the Taurus Mountains running parallel on your left.
Travel times stay consistent throughout most of the year. During peak summer daytime hours, traffic can slow around key junctions near Manavgat and central Alanya, adding roughly 15 to 20 minutes to the ride. Early morning and late night journeys usually benefit from clear roads, taking right around the 118-minute mark.
What Tosmur is known for
Tosmur is a relaxed coastal neighbourhood situated between Oba and Kestel, just east of Alanya city centre. It is famous for its proximity to the Dim River (Dim Çayı), where freshwater flows down from the mountains into the Mediterranean Sea. The river valley is lined with traditional floating restaurant platforms where locals and holidaymakers go to escape the mid-summer heat.
The area features broad sandy beaches, a palm-lined seaside promenade, and local weekly markets selling fresh fruit and spices. It offers a quieter, more residential atmosphere than central Alanya, while remaining close enough for easy day trips to Alanya Castle and the harbour.
Practical arrival advice
- Finding your driver: Once you collect your baggage and enter the main arrivals hall, look for your driver holding a name sign. They will assist with your luggage and guide you to your vehicle.
- Flight delays: Flight tracking is included with every booking. If your flight lands late, your pickup time is automatically adjusted so your driver is there when you land.
- Child seats: Travelling with family? Free infant or booster seats can be fitted prior to collection if requested when booking.
- Direct route: A private transfer goes straight to your specific hotel or apartment door in Tosmur, avoiding the multi-hotel drop-offs typical of shared shuttle buses.
