Orensehir is a calm neighbourhood at the eastern end of Manavgat, set between the forest on the slopes of the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean. Ten minutes from the sea, right beside Okurcalar, with banana groves, a green picnic ground and a few large beachfront hotels, it is a place for those seeking a holiday away from the crowds. The road of about 90 kilometres from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Orensehir is covered with a driver waiting for you with your name on a sign, with no detours, at a fixed price; we drop you not on the main road, but right at your hotel door.
See Your Web-Only PriceWhat Kind of Place Is Orensehir?
Orensehir, administratively part of Manavgat, is a small neighbourhood at the eastern end of the coastal strip between Side and Alanya. Its old name is Viransehir. What sets it apart from lively places like central Side is its setting on the edge of the forest, with a small population and a calm character; though there are a few large resort hotels along the shore, the area stays peaceful overall.
Here the sea is just south of the coast road; the north of the neighbourhood is covered with green forest and banana groves. Orensehir is not as busy as Side; it is more the choice of those who want a peaceful holiday close to nature. When you book your Antalya Airport to Orensehir transfer in advance, you cover the road from the airport to this calm coast in one go, without transfers.
What Is a Holiday in Orensehir Like?
A holiday in Orensehir largely revolves around the hotel and the sea. The facilities here are usually beachfront, with large gardens and all-inclusive concepts; so families with children especially can fill the day without leaving the hotel. Having breakfast on the balcony to the sound of the sea in the morning, then spending the day between pool and beach, is an ordinary day here.
For those who want to step outside the hotel, there is plenty of choice too. Many guests spend the day at the hotel and spend the evening around the Alara River or at the Orensehir picnic ground; midweek, they set aside a day for Side ancient city or Manavgat Waterfall. Whether you stay at the hotel or explore around, we take you to every spot at a fixed price, in a private car.
The Orensehir Picnic Ground and Life on the Forest Edge
The Orensehir Picnic Ground
What sets Orensehir apart from an ordinary coastal neighbourhood is the green nature behind it as well as the sea. The Orensehir Picnic Ground, right near the village, with its lush landscape and picnic tables, is a place locals and holidaymakers visit at the weekend; there is a playground for children and spots to swim nearby. It is one of the few places where forest air and the cool of the sea come together.
Banana Groves and the Taurus Foothills
The north of the neighbourhood rises toward the foothills of the Taurus Mountains; this part is covered with banana groves and citrus trees. Here one side of life is tourism, the other still farming; it is common to see fresh bananas and seasonal fruit sold at roadside stalls. This mix of countryside and sea gives Orensehir a calm texture different from other coastal towns.
The Friday Market
One of the spots locals and holidaymakers visit is the weekly market. At the local market held on Fridays you find fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, olives and regional products; it is a pleasant break for those who want to step out of the hotel and mix into the area's daily life.
What to Watch For with the Orensehir Transfer
Going to hotels spread along the shore, set back from the main road, can tire the start of the holiday if poorly planned:
- Mistake: Taking a shared shuttle just because it is cheap. Fix: Instead of a shared ride weaving through hotels between the Alara and Karpuz streams road, go directly to your hotel in your own car.
- Mistake: Getting off on the main road and trying to reach the hotel yourself. Fix: Facilities in Orensehir can be set back from the main road and scattered; we drop you not on the road, but at your hotel door.
- Mistake: Trusting a single car for a big group. Fix: With a spacious Mercedes Sprinter, everyone and all the suitcases fit comfortably; one child seat is free, extra seats at a fair charge.
Antalya Airport – Orensehir: Distance and Time
The distance between Antalya Airport and Orensehir is about 90 kilometres, and the drive averages 1 hour 20 minutes. For anyone asking how far Orensehir is from Antalya airport and how long the transfer takes: about 90 km and one hour twenty from AYT, or roughly an hour from Gazipasa (GZP). Orensehir is east of the airport, past Side toward Alanya, neighbouring Okurcalar and Cenger; about twenty-five kilometres from Side and twenty from Manavgat. Central Alanya is only about twenty-five minutes away.
After the exit, a route mostly along the motorway and coast road awaits you. Going directly, you are at your hotel in Orensehir about an hour and a half after the airport; in a shared shuttle, that time easily stretches with the stops in between.
The Gazipasa Airport Alternative
Orensehir is within reasonable distance of two airports. Besides Antalya Airport, Gazipasa Airport (GZP) on the Alanya side is also about 70 kilometres, one hour away. If your flight lands at Gazipasa, the road is a little shorter. We take you from either airport at a fixed price, straight to your hotel door, whether you land at Antalya (AYT) or Gazipasa (GZP).
Our Vehicles and the Comfort of the Ride
Orensehir's hotels sit back from the coast road, scattered along the forest edge, so the vehicle must be both comfortable and able to reach narrow lanes; we match the fleet to your group size and luggage and drop you at the hotel door, not on the main road. For a couple or small family, the Mercedes Vito Maybach First Class or Vito Business Class offers comfortable seating for up to 5; for a larger family or group, the Mercedes Sprinter Group Comfort and Group Business provide a roomy interior and plenty of luggage space for up to 13.
Our vehicles offer free Wi-Fi, water and a one child seat; with air conditioning and a spacious interior, on the long road it becomes a ride where your child can sleep comfortably while you travel rested. Just note the baby seat, child seat or booster you need when booking.
Places to Visit Around Orensehir
The Alara River, Alara Han and Green Canyon
Just east of Orensehir, on the side of neighbouring Cenger and Okurcalar, are the Seljuk-era Alara Han and the hilltop Alara Castle; the Alara River is a cool stream used for rafting in spring, with picnics set up on its banks. A little further, Green Canyon, formed by the Oymapinar Dam, is one of the area's most loved nature spots with its boat tours. To explore the Alara area in more detail, you can also see our Cenger transfer page.
Side, Manavgat and Alanya
To the west, Side Ancient City and the Temple of Apollo, Manavgat Waterfall and the Manavgat River, famous for boat tours, are a short trip away. To the east, Alanya Castle, the Red Tower and its bazaar; since Orensehir is about twenty-five minutes from Alanya, you can easily explore both sides. We bring private transfer to every address in quiet Orensehir with the same comfort.
How to Get from the Airport to Orensehir
There are several ways to reach Orensehir, but they don't all give the same comfort:
- Private VIP transfer: Straight to your hotel door, no waiting, fixed price. The most comfortable choice on a long road (~1h 20min). True door-to-door service — from the arrivals gate straight to your hotel entrance.
- Shared shuttle (other companies): It looks cheap, but other operators' shared shuttles stop at hotels along the coast road and can drag the journey out to three hours. We do not run shared shuttles; we offer only your own private VIP transfer.
- Taxi: Possible, but the taxi fare is not set in advance, so you never quite relax; our fixed price is set upfront and is often the cheaper choice on this long road.
- Public transport: First to the Manavgat or Alanya bus station, then by minibus; hard for a family with luggage and children.
Whether you search for an Orensehir hotel transfer, a Manavgat–Orensehir transfer or an Okurcalar–Orensehir transfer, they describe the same journey. We take you straight to the door of every hotel in Orensehir, at a fixed price.

Return Transfer from Orensehir to the Airport
When the holiday ends, the way back should feel just as easy. Our Orensehir airport transfer works both ways: on departure day your driver picks you up at the hotel door and calculates the pickup time from your flight and that day's traffic on the coast road, so you neither wait too early nor run late. We plan the departure time separately depending on whether you fly from Antalya (AYT) or Gazipasa (GZP). There is no need to call a separate company for the hotel to airport leg.
The round trip is arranged in a single booking — one WhatsApp message is enough. The same fixed price and the same no-prepayment terms apply on the way back; you pay the driver in the vehicle. We ask for no money upfront and no card details. You pay the driver at the end of the ride, once you're happy with the service — so you never worry "did I lose my money?", the risk is not on you. Even on a late-night landing there is no night surcharge, and your driver waits with a name sign.
