A private transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Kadriye covers about 40 km and takes roughly 40–45 minutes in normal traffic. Kadriye is the heart of Belek's golf-resort zone, home to hotels like Maxx Royal, Rixos Premium, Gloria, Regnum and the region's championship courses. The smart move for golfers: book a door-to-door car or van with enough boot space for your clubs, at a fixed price agreed in advance.
Real road time shifts with season and traffic — the coastal approach into Belek gets busier through the summer changeover days — so treat 40–45 minutes as a comfortable estimate rather than a promise. Because it's a private transfer, your driver waits for you and your bags however long the flight takes.
Where is Kadriye, and why it matters for golfers
Kadriye is a resort district within Belek, on the Mediterranean coast east of Antalya. What sets it apart from the wider Belek pages is its concentration of golf: several of Turkey's most-played courses sit within a few minutes of each other here, and many five-star hotels run their own on-site or partner courses. That means most travellers arriving in Kadriye aren't just holidaymakers — they're carrying golf bags, and that changes what vehicle you should book.
A standard airport car will happily take a family of four with normal suitcases. Add two or three hard golf travel cases and it won't. The single most common Kadriye-transfer mistake is under-booking the vehicle, then watching clubs get wedged across laps for the whole ride — or worse, not fitting at all.
Choosing the right vehicle for clubs and cases
Golf travel bags are long and rigid, so boot volume matters more than seat count. As a rough guide when you request your quote:
- Estate car / large saloon — fine for two golfers with two club cases and modest luggage.
- Minivan (VW Caravelle-class) — the sweet spot for a golf group of four to six, giving a dedicated luggage area so clubs travel flat and undamaged.
- Minibus — for a full fourball-plus with partners, or two families sharing.
When you book, simply note how many golf bags you're bringing. Telling us in advance means the right vehicle is assigned rather than the smallest one that technically seats your group. If you're travelling with children too, free child and infant seats can be added on request — Turkish law expects car-seat use for young children, and a private transfer is the easiest way to guarantee one is fitted and waiting.
What the journey looks like
From the AYT terminal, the route runs east along the D400 coastal corridor toward Belek, then turns inland the short distance to Kadriye and its resort entrances. It's a smooth, mostly dual-carriageway drive with no interchange to navigate yourself. Your driver knows the specific hotel gates — Maxx Royal, Gloria and Regnum each have their own approach — so you're dropped at reception, not at a distant roundabout with your clubs.

Kadriye, Belek and Lara — how they connect
Kadriye sits inside the broader Belek area, so if your resort is officially listed under Belek rather than Kadriye, the same drive applies — see our dedicated Antalya Airport to Belek transfer page. Travellers heading a little closer to the airport, toward the Lara beach hotels, will find the Lara transfer route a shorter hop. Grouping these together helps if your golf party is split across neighbouring resorts.
Why book a private transfer with us
Shared shuttles make sense for solo backpackers; for a golf group with kit and a tee time the next morning, they rarely do. Here's what a private booking with bookridenow gives you instead:
- Meet & greet — your driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, so there's no scanning a crowd with a trolley of clubs.
- Fixed price — agreed when you book, based on distance and vehicle size. No meter, no late-night surcharge surprises.
- Free flight tracking — if your flight lands early or late, your driver adjusts. Delays cost you nothing.
- Free waiting time — passport queues and baggage-belt waits don't leave you paying for a ticking taxi.
- Free child & infant seats on request.
- Licensed D2 drivers — intercity passenger transport in Turkey legally requires a D2 licence, and all our drivers hold one. You're in a properly insured, professionally operated vehicle.
If your golf party wants the airport covered in both directions, a round-trip return transfer locks in your departure pickup at the same time — worth doing so nobody's arranging a taxi at 4am after the last round.
Beyond the fairways
Kadriye is superbly placed for a day off the course. If the group fancies a break from golf, the Köprülü Canyon white-water is close by for a morning of rafting, and a relaxed Green Canyon boat trip from nearby Manavgat makes an easy afternoon. We can arrange a private transfer to either.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Kadriye?
It's about 40 km and takes roughly 40–45 minutes in normal conditions. Real driving time varies with traffic and season, especially on busy summer changeover days, so allow a little extra rather than counting on the exact figure.
Will my golf clubs fit in the transfer vehicle?
Yes, provided you book the right size. Tell us how many golf travel bags you're bringing when you request your quote and we'll assign an estate car, minivan or minibus with proper boot space, so clubs travel flat rather than across your lap. This is the single most important thing to specify for a golf transfer.
How much does a transfer to Kadriye cost?
The price depends on the distance, the vehicle size your group needs and the season, so there's no single fixed figure. Enter your details at bookridenow.com/en for an instant quote, and the price you're shown is the price you pay — no meter and no surprises on the day.
Can the driver take us straight to hotels like Maxx Royal or Gloria?
Yes. It's a private door-to-door transfer, so you're dropped at your specific resort reception rather than a shared stop. Our drivers know the individual hotel entrances across the Kadriye and Belek golf zone.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing on your end — we track your flight for free and adjust the pickup automatically. Waiting time is also free, so passport control and baggage delays never add to your cost.
Do you provide child seats for a family golf trip?
Yes, free child and infant seats are available on request. Turkish law expects car-seat use for young children, so add your requirement when booking and the correct seat will be fitted and ready when you arrive. Our family transfer guide has more detail.
Can I book a return transfer to the airport as well?
Yes. A round-trip booking fixes both your arrival and departure transfers in advance, which is especially handy for early morning flights after your last round of golf. See our return transfer page for how it works.
How do I pay for the transfer?
You can pay on the day of the transfer in cash or by card, or settle online when you book — whichever suits you. Either way the price is fixed at the time of booking, so the amount never changes.
