Transfers from this airport

Arriving at Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport

The terminal is compact. In summer most traffic comes from seasonal charter flights, while some domestic connections run all year, so the airport can be quiet one hour and busy the next.

Your driver waits for you in the arrivals area with a name sign. Add your flight number when you book: the local provider follows the arrival time, and the agreed price stays the same if the flight is delayed. Any terminal-specific details, such as where exactly to walk after customs, are arranged directly between you and the provider by phone or WhatsApp.

Where transfers from GZP usually go

Kargıcak and Mahmutlar
The closest areas, 26–29 km away and roughly 23–34 minutes by road. Large apartment complexes, many owned or rented by long-stay visitors. A car typically costs around €35–45.
Kestel and Alanya city centre
Kestel is 33 km away (31–39 min); the centre of Alanya, with its castle peninsula, harbour and Kleopatra beach, is 41 km away (45–57 min). Indicative car price for the centre: €40–55.
Konaklı, Türkler and Avsallar
Resort villages west of Alanya with big all-inclusive beach hotels, 57–68 km from the airport and about one to one and a half hours away.
Okurcalar and Side
Okurcalar is 76 km away (78–98 min). Side, 109 km away, takes 106–133 minutes; it is normally served from Antalya Airport, but GZP works when your flight lands here. Side by car usually costs around €90–115.
Anamur
The one destination to the east: 82 km, about 88–110 minutes on a winding coastal mountain road into Mersin province.

One coast road in two directions

Almost every transfer from GZP uses the D400. Heading west, the road follows the sea past Kargıcak, Mahmutlar and Kestel before entering Alanya, then continues through Konaklı, Türkler, Avsallar and Okurcalar towards Manavgat and Side. Through Alanya town, summer evenings are slowest.

Heading east from Gazipaşa the character changes. The road climbs and winds between mountain slopes and small bays, so the 82 km to Anamur take longer than the distance suggests.

Choosing the right vehicle

A standard private car suits one to three passengers with normal luggage. A minivan takes up to about seven people and is the sensible choice for families, groups, or long-stay visitors arriving with several suitcases for a few months. Larger vehicles can be requested.

Child seats can be added when you book. Golf bags, bicycles, diving gear and other sports equipment must be declared at booking so the local provider sends a vehicle with enough space. Every ride is private: no shared shuttle and no stops at other hotels.

Seasons on the Alanya coast

The beach season runs roughly from April to October, with July and August the hottest and busiest months. Charter flights are most frequent then.

Winters are mild, and the apartment areas east of Alanya stay lived-in all year with long-stay residents from Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia. Flight schedules at GZP are thinner outside summer, so check your connection before planning the transfer.
