Antalya Airport to Belek: your options compared
1. Pre-booked private transfer (recommended)
For most visitors this is the easiest way to get from Antalya Airport to Belek. 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 straight to your hotel door in Belek. The price is fixed when you book, so there are no surprises if the traffic is bad or your flight is delayed, because the driver tracks your flight number.
- Best for families, groups, late-night arrivals and anyone who wants zero stress after a four-hour flight from the UK.
- 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 way. They can be cheaper per person, but expect extra stops and a longer journey than the 30–40 minutes drive.
3. Official taxi from the rank
Licensed taxis wait outside arrivals. They 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 Serik, where Belek is (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. Before you set off, agree that the meter will be used and check that it is running. Refuse “fixed prices” from people who approach you inside the terminal. That is the classic overcharge we describe in our scam alerts.
- Most taxis accept card payment, but carry some Turkish lira just in case.
- There is no separate night tariff, and there are no motorway or bridge tolls on this route.
- Take a photo of the taxi’s number plate before you get in.
4. Public transport
A direct public bus runs from the airport to Belek. It is the cheapest way to get there, but Belek’s hotels are spread along a long stretch of coast, so you may face a walk or a short taxi ride from the stop with your luggage. Check the latest timetable before you travel.
Arriving in Belek: local tips
- Belek’s large all-inclusive resorts and golf hotels are spread along a long stretch of coast. Give the driver your hotel’s exact name, not just “Belek”.
- Many golf hotels run their own shuttles, so ask your hotel before you book a transfer.
- Land of Legends theme park is nearby. See our Land of Legends guide before you go.
Common traps to avoid
- Touts inside the terminal offering a “cheap taxi”: 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.
