Antalya Otogar is the city's intercity bus terminal, in the Kepez district; coaches from all over Turkey arrive here. It sits where the Antalya-Izmir and Antalya-Alanya highways meet, linked to the ring road and Dumlupinar Boulevard. From the terminal you reach the centre by tram (Antray) and city buses. Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 18-19 kilometres and on average 25-30 minutes away.
See Your Web-Only PriceWhat Is Antalya Otogar Like?
Antalya Otogar, opened in 1977, is a large terminal where tens of thousands of passengers pass through each day. It stands on a wide site in the Yenidogan neighbourhood of Kepez, with two separate sections for district routes and intercity coaches. The terminal was outside the city when it opened, but as Antalya grew it ended up within the urban area.
Intercity coaches arrive through the day and late into the night. Passengers getting off head for the taxi rank across from the coaches or the tram stop attached to the terminal. At the Otogar tram stop you change to the Varsak-Museum line, which runs towards Akdeniz University, the Antalya Museum and Konyaalti. Early in the morning, passengers off the night coaches head for the tram stop with their luggage; the soup shops and cafes nearby are open at that hour. In the evening the tea houses and waiting areas around the terminal grow busier.
Otogar to the Airport: Distance and Time
The distance from Antalya Otogar to Antalya Airport is about 18-19 kilometres, and the drive takes around 25-30 minutes (varying with city traffic). For anyone asking how far the airport is and how long the transfer takes: about 18-19 km and around half an hour. The road leaves Dumlupinar Boulevard and connects to the airport via Aspendos Boulevard and Serik Street.
As the terminal is in the north of the city and the airport in the east, the route runs largely along city boulevards. In the morning and evening rush the drive can take a little longer; since our driver knows the route, he takes you straight to the terminal or the airport.
Around the Terminal and Dokuma Park
Many visitors don't realise that Dokuma Park is only a short walk from the terminal; a large green space converted from an old textile factory. Inside it are the Antalya Science Centre, small museums, a botanical garden and orange groves. Travellers waiting for their next coach often spend some time in the park. Kepez, where the terminal stands, is one of Antalya's busy central districts.
Transfer for Intercity Passengers
For an Otogar transfer, most of our guests are travellers who have come by coach from another city and want to catch a flight, or who have landed and will continue to another city by coach. As the coaches often arrive late at night or early in the morning, many travellers prefer arranging their transfer before arrival, especially on overnight coach routes.
Our greeter meets you at the terminal entrance with a name sign and help with your luggage. Because we track your coach, the driver waits even if it is delayed, at no extra cost. You don't have to search for a car in the crowd of the terminal. We also do not run shared shuttles; we offer only your own private VIP transfer.
Our Vehicles
If there are two to four of you, a Mercedes Vito (Maybach First Class or Business Class) is plenty; if you're a larger group or have a lot of luggage, we have Mercedes Sprinter vehicles that take up to 13. After a long overnight journey, many travellers simply prefer not to carry luggage through public transport, especially on a night arrival.
Free Wi-Fi, water and one child seat are in the car free of charge (extra seats at a fair charge); just note what you need in your booking.
Return Transfer at Otogar
You can plan the airport–otogar and the return journey in a single booking. We set the pick-up time around your coach or your flight time, planning it so you make a night coach or an early flight. No prepayment: you pay the fixed price to 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 night coach or an early flight there is no night surcharge; if your coach is delayed the driver waits, at no extra cost. Whether from the terminal to the airport or from the airport to the terminal, it is the same fixed price and the same name-sign welcome.
How to Get From the Airport to Otogar
There are a few ways between Otogar and the airport:
- Private VIP transfer: Straight to the terminal entrance or the airport, no waiting, fixed price. A name-sign welcome is included; the easiest choice for luggage and night arrivals.
- Bus 600: Runs between the airport, the city centre and Otogar without a change; the 600G service runs at night. Cheap, but with many stops and awkward with luggage.
- Tram (Antray): From the Otogar stop you reach the airport line; economical but with a change and hard with luggage at busy times.
- Taxi: There is a taxi rank inside the terminal; available but without a fixed-price guarantee. With us the price is set upfront, with no hidden fees.
After a long overnight coach, travellers arriving with luggage often book a transfer in advance rather than change between tram and bus. With Direct Airport Transfer your journey ends rested.
