Antalya Airport to Kemer takes around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes by car, longer in heavy summer traffic. Kemer sits south-west of Antalya, between the sea and the Taurus Mountains, and its hotels stretch along about 40 km of coast from Beldibi to Tekirova. That is why the right transfer depends on exactly where your hotel is.
Quick answer: a pre-booked private transfer from Antalya Airport to Kemer costs from about £49 (US$65) for the whole car at a fixed price, and a driver meets you in arrivals. A metered taxi to Kemer centre costs about ₺3,200–4,500 (around £48–68), so it is rarely cheaper than a pre-booked car. There is no direct public bus: you change at Antalya bus station, which takes 2 hours or more.

Transfer prices to Kemer’s resort villages
“Kemer” on your booking can mean anywhere along this coast, and the price rises the further south your hotel is. These are the lowest private transfer prices per car on KiwiTaxi, checked in October 2026:
| Area | Distance from AYT | Private transfer from |
|---|---|---|
| Beldibi | about 50 km | from about £41 (US$55) |
| Kemer centre | about 60–65 km | from about £49 (US$65) |

| Tekirova | about 80 km | from about £48 (US$64) |
Larger cars cost more, but a minivan for up to 7 people is only a little more than a saloon, so for families it is often the better deal per person. Prices change with the season, so check the live price for your dates.
Antalya Airport to Kemer: your options compared
1. Pre-booked private transfer (recommended)
For most visitors this is the easiest way to get from Antalya Airport to Kemer. A driver usually waits for you in the arrivals area with your name (check the meeting point in your booking confirmation), helps with your bags and drives you to your hotel door. The price is fixed when you book, so a traffic jam through Antalya or a delayed flight does not change it, because the driver tracks your flight number.
- Best for families, late-night arrivals and anyone staying in the southern villages such as Çamyuva or Tekirova.
- Ask for child seats when you book; they are not always automatic.
- Pay online in advance, so you don’t need Turkish lira cash on arrival.
2. Shared shuttle
Shared shuttles drop off several groups at different hotels along the coast. They can be cheaper per person, but on a route this long the extra stops can easily add an hour to your journey.
3. Official taxi from the rank
Licensed yellow taxis wait outside arrivals and must use the meter (taksimetre). Antalya has two meter rates: about ₺40–50 to start plus ₺50 per km in the city districts, and ₺60 plus ₺70 per km in outer districts such as Kemer (council tariff adopted on 13 March 2026, in force from 23 March). We have found no rule on which rate applies to a ride from the airport, so the taxi fares on this page are a range that covers both. Taxi chambers asked the council for higher fares in October 2026 and nothing had been adopted by 22 October, so fares may rise soon. Agree before you set off that the meter will be used and check that it is running. Refuse “fixed prices” from people who approach you inside the terminal: the classic overcharge we describe in our scam alerts.
- The meter comes to roughly ₺3,200–4,500 (about £48–68) to Kemer centre, and more to Çamyuva or Tekirova.
- There is no separate night tariff, and there are no motorway tolls on this route.
- Most taxis accept card payment, but carry some Turkish lira just in case.
4. Public transport
There is no direct public bus from Antalya Airport to Kemer, and Havaş airport shuttles do not go there. You can take bus 600 from the airport to Antalya bus station (Otogar), or the AntRay tram from the stop near Terminal 1 and the domestic terminal, and change to one of the frequent buses to Kemer. It is cheap, but expect 2 to 2.5 hours door to door, a change with your luggage, and a walk or taxi at the Kemer end. Public transport stops running late in the evening, so it is not an option for night flights.
Arriving in Kemer: local tips
- Give the driver your hotel’s exact name and village, not just “Kemer”: Beldibi, Göynük, Kemer centre, Kiriş, Çamyuva and Tekirova are up to 30 km apart.
- The road follows the coast through tunnels and pine forest, with the sea on one side and the Taurus Mountains on the other. Sit on the left-hand side for the best sea views on the way to Kemer.
- Summer traffic through Antalya city can be slow on weekend changeover days, so allow extra time for your return flight.
- Want to explore Olympos, Phaselis or the mountain villages yourself? Read our Antalya Airport car hire guide first.
Common traps to avoid
- Touts inside the terminal offering a “cheap taxi” to Kemer: they usually quote a fixed price far above the meter.
- “Your hotel is closed / full” stories designed to take you to a different hotel that pays the driver commission.
- Paying in pounds or euros in cash at a poor exchange rate. Agree the currency before the journey.
- No mobile data on arrival, so you can’t check your booking or message your driver. Sort out an eSIM before you fly. See our SIM card guide.

Getting to Kemer: what we would do
Kemer is a longer drive than most first-time visitors expect, especially if your hotel is in Çamyuva or Tekirova. For a predictable trip, pre-book a private transfer: fixed price, a driver waiting with your name and no cash needed. A metered taxi from the official rank is a fair back-up for Kemer centre by day, and public transport only makes sense if you travel light and have time to spare.
