Need a transfer to or from the Antalya cruise port? We provide private, door-to-door transport between the Port of Antalya cruise terminal (Antalya Limanı, on the Konyaaltı side) and your hotel, the airport, or a shore-excursion day trip. The port sits on the western side of the city, roughly 15–20 km from Antalya Airport (AYT) — about a 25–30 minute drive in normal traffic. Fixed price agreed at booking, and your driver waits.
For cruise passengers the single thing that matters most is timing: you cannot afford to miss the ship. We build every port run around your sailing time with a generous buffer, so you reach the gangway calm and early rather than sprinting down the quay.
Where the port is and how long the drive takes
The cruise terminal lies on Antalya's western waterfront, near the Konyaaltı district. From the airport it's roughly 15–20 km, or about 25–30 minutes when roads are clear. From most Antalya city and Lara hotels you're looking at a short hop of a similar order, while resort areas further out — Belek, Side, Kemer, Alanya — are longer, so those journeys need more planning and a bigger time cushion.
These are approximate figures. Real drive time shifts with traffic, the season and the time of day, and Antalya's coastal roads can be busy in high summer. That's exactly why we start pickups early on port-departure days.
Meeting cruise passengers arriving in Antalya
If Antalya is a stop on your itinerary and you're stepping ashore for the day, we'll meet you near the terminal and take you wherever you want to go — no haggling with rank taxis, no shared minibus that waits to fill up. Because it's a private car with your own driver, you set the pace: linger longer at a site you love, cut one short, or add a stop on a whim. The driver stays with you and brings you back to the ship in good time.
Timed pickups so you never miss the ship
For guests boarding at Antalya, punctuality is the whole job. Tell us your all-aboard time and we work backwards, adding a comfortable margin for traffic and check-in. You'll be collected from your hotel or the airport and delivered to the terminal with time to spare. If your plans firm up late or your flight lands close to sailing, message us on WhatsApp and we'll adjust the pickup accordingly.
Shore-excursion day trips from the port
A cruise call in Antalya opens up some of Turkey's finest sights, and a private car is the relaxed way to see them:
- Kaleiçi (the old town) — the walled Ottoman quarter with its harbour, Hadrian's Gate and marble lanes, just minutes from the port. See our Kaleiçi transfer guide for the lie of the land.
- Perge and Aspendos — a vast Roman city and one of the best-preserved ancient theatres in the world, both east of the city. Check the current opening times and entry fees before you go.
- Düden Waterfalls — the upper falls in their leafy park and the lower falls dropping straight into the sea near the coast.
We're a transport provider, not a licensed guide, so we get you there, wait, and bring you back — you explore at your own tempo. If you'd rather be on the water, a Green Canyon boat day out at sideboattrips.com is an easy add for guests with a longer window ashore.
Who this suits
Cruise passengers on a tight shore day, couples who want the old town and a Roman site without a coach crowd, families who need child seats fitted, and anyone connecting between a flight and their ship. If you're pairing a port run with an airport pickup, our private Antalya airport transfer and the full complete airport transfer guide cover how meet-and-greet and flight tracking work.
How the service works
Book online with your ship name, sailing or arrival time, and pickup point. You'll get a fixed price up front — no meter, no surprises. On the day, your licensed D2 driver meets you door-to-door, fits a free child or infant seat if you asked for one, and waits when needed. Pay on the day by cash or card, or settle online, and reach us on WhatsApp any time before or during your trip.

Frequently asked questions
How far is the Antalya cruise port from the airport?
The Port of Antalya sits on the western, Konyaaltı side of the city, roughly 15–20 km from Antalya Airport (AYT) — about 25–30 minutes by car in normal conditions. Traffic and season can stretch that, so we allow extra time on port-departure days.
Will the driver wait if my shore excursion runs long?
Yes. With a private transfer the car and driver stay with you, so a stop that runs over isn't a problem — you simply return to it. That said, on a cruise-call day we keep an eye on your all-aboard time and steer you back to the ship well before it.
How do you make sure I don't miss my ship?
We plan every port departure around your all-aboard time and add a buffer for traffic and boarding. You're collected early rather than at the last minute, and if anything changes you can message us on WhatsApp to bring the pickup forward.
Can I fit a shore excursion into a single cruise stop?
Often, yes — Kaleiçi is minutes from the terminal, and sites like Düden Waterfalls, Perge or Aspendos are all within a comfortable private-car range. How much you fit in depends on your time ashore, so tell us your window and we'll suggest a realistic route.
Do you provide child seats for families arriving by cruise?
Yes, free child and infant seats are available on request — just tell us the ages when you book so the right seat is fitted and ready in the car.
How much does a cruise-port transfer cost?
The price depends on your route, vehicle size and any shore-excursion stops, so we give a fixed quote at booking with no meter and no surprises. Enter your details for an instant price at bookridenow.com/en.
Can you combine an airport pickup with the cruise port?
Absolutely. If you're flying in to join a ship, or disembarking to catch a flight, we can meet you at the airport with meet-and-greet and free flight tracking, then run you straight to the terminal or your hotel with the timing built around your schedule.
What happens if my flight is delayed before a sailing?
On airport runs we track your flight for free and adjust the pickup to the real landing time. If a delay makes your connection to the ship tight, message us on WhatsApp so we can prioritise and route you to the port as quickly as possible.
