For a private door-to-door transfer to Payallar or Avsallar — the west-Alanya resort zone around İncekum beach — you can arrive at either airport. From Antalya (AYT) it's roughly 105–115 km, about 90–100 minutes. From Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP) it's much closer: around 45–55 km and roughly 50 minutes.
Both are served by our own driver and vehicle with meet & greet at arrivals — no sharing, no meter, a fixed price agreed when you book. The right choice usually comes down to which airport your flight actually lands at, and how much the shorter drive from GZP is worth to you.
Where are Payallar and Avsallar?
Payallar and Avsallar sit on the coast just west of Alanya, a stretch defined by the long pine-backed sands of İncekum. It's a quieter, family-friendly holiday belt than Alanya's centre — plenty of all-inclusive resorts, a calmer beach vibe, and easy access into Alanya proper when you fancy the castle, the harbour or the nightlife. Because it's west of Alanya, it's marginally closer to Antalya than the town centre, but the airport maths still favours Gazipaşa if your flight allows it.
Antalya (AYT) vs Gazipaşa (GZP): which airport?
This is the one decision worth thinking about before you book. Here's the honest comparison for this specific stretch of coast:
- Antalya (AYT) — about 105–115 km, roughly 90–100 minutes. Far more flights, more airlines and often cheaper fares, especially from Germany, the UK and Poland. The trade-off is the longer coastal drive east past Side and Manavgat.
- Gazipaşa (GZP) — about 45–55 km, roughly 50 minutes. Noticeably closer and quicker to Payallar/Avsallar, but a smaller airport with fewer routes and, sometimes, higher fares.
A practical rule of thumb: if a GZP flight is available at a sensible price, it saves you the best part of an hour of road each way. If not, AYT is perfectly comfortable — the D400 coastal road is fast and scenic, and our fixed price means the extra distance never turns into an extra charge. These road times are approximate, of course; genuine journey time shifts with summer traffic and the season. If you're weighing it up, our Gazipaşa airport guide covers GZP arrivals in detail, and the Antalya to Alanya transfer page is a close comparison since your route passes the same way.
What the drive is like
From AYT you'll head east on the smooth D400, skirting Side and Manavgat before the road hugs the coast into the west-Alanya resorts. From GZP the trip runs the other way, west along the coast, a short and straightforward hop. Either way your driver knows the resort entrances around İncekum, Payallar and Avsallar, so you're dropped right at your hotel door rather than a vague roadside stop.
Why book a private transfer over a taxi or shuttle
A shared shuttle to this zone means waiting for a full vehicle and a chain of hotel drop-offs before yours — tiring after a long flight with children. An airport taxi has no fixed price on a run this long. A private transfer removes both problems:
- Meet & greet — your driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, so there's no hunting around a busy terminal.
- Free flight tracking — if you land early or late, we already know, and waiting time on delays is free.
- Fixed price, no meter — the fare is agreed at booking; you pay on the transfer day in cash or by card, or online.
- Free child & infant seats on request — Turkish law expects car seats for young children, and we bring them at no extra cost.
- Licensed drivers — intercity passenger transport in Turkey requires a D2 licence, and ours have it.

What does it cost?
There's no single flat fare, because price depends on which airport you fly into, the distance, your vehicle size and the season — a GZP run is shorter than an AYT one, and a minibus for a group differs from a saloon car.

Make a day of it
West Alanya is a brilliant base for day trips. The Green Canyon and Manavgat boat tours are an easy outing back along the coast — you can see options at sideboattrips.com — and if you fancy something with more of a pulse, the white-water rafting up in Köprülü Canyon at bookraftingantalya.com is a classic Riviera day out. Just ask us over WhatsApp if you'd like help timing a transfer around an excursion.

Frequently asked questions
Should I fly into Antalya or Gazipaşa for Payallar and Avsallar?
Gazipaşa (GZP) is much closer — roughly 45–55 km and about 50 minutes, versus 105–115 km and 90–100 minutes from Antalya (AYT). If a GZP flight suits your dates and budget it saves you close to an hour of driving each way; if not, AYT has far more routes and is perfectly comfortable for this route.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Avsallar?
Plan for roughly 90–100 minutes over about 105–115 km along the D400 coastal road. That's an approximate figure — real time depends on summer traffic and the season, so allow a little extra during peak weeks.
Do you cover both Payallar and Avsallar hotels?
Yes. Both sit in the same west-Alanya resort belt around İncekum, and our drivers know the hotel entrances there. You're taken door to door and dropped right at your accommodation, not at a general drop-off point.
Are child seats available for the journey?
Yes, free of charge on request — just tell us the ages when you book so we bring the right seat. Turkish law expects car seats for young children, which matters on a longer run like the one from Antalya.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, so your driver adjusts to the real landing time automatically, and waiting time on genuine delays is free. If plans change, terms are confirmed at the time of booking and we're understanding about real flight disruption — just let us know, ideally over WhatsApp.
How and when do I pay?
The price is fixed and agreed when you book — no meter and no surprises. You can pay on the transfer day in cash or by card, or settle online in advance, whichever you prefer.
Can the same driver take me back to the airport at the end?
Yes — book a return and we'll schedule the pickup from your Payallar or Avsallar hotel, timed to your departure flight. It's the same private, door-to-door service in reverse, with the pickup time calculated to get you to AYT or GZP with room to spare.
