Antalya Public Transport: How to Get from Antalya Airport to Kaleiçi

Antalya Airport lies northeast of Antalya city centre, while Kaleiçi is the city’s old-town area. The airport connects with the centre via the D400 highway, so the practical first step is to check which service takes you into the city and then confirm the onward route to your destination in Kaleiçi.

A car trip from the city centre to the airport takes approximately 20 minutes, though traffic can affect journey time. That is a city-centre reference, not a guaranteed journey time from the airport to Kaleiçi. For a sense of the old town’s streets and landmarks, use this walking guide to Antalya’s Kaleiçi.

Antalya public transport from the airport includes city buses and AntRay. Buses run to the city centre and other destinations, while AntRay serves the airport, the city centre and Antalya Intercity Bus Terminal on its route between the Airport, Meydan and Fatih.

For bus departure times, use the Antalyakart mobile application or call the Transportation Information Line at 0242 606 07 07. For AntRay times, use the linked departure information.

Check the route and departure information for your travel day before choosing a service, then confirm how to continue from the city-centre stop to Kaleiçi. There is no single stop or direct service identified for every Kaleiçi destination.

Taxi stands are in front of the arrivals exits at all airport terminals, and drivers carry special airport identification tags. A fare signboard is beside the taxi rank. You can also reserve a taxi online through the airport’s listed taxi-service website.

A taxi or pre-arranged road transfer avoids changing between airport and city services, but journey time can vary with traffic. The city-centre drive reference is approximately 20 minutes; it does not promise that same timing for Kaleiçi. Check the fare information at the rank or confirm the terms of an online booking before you travel.

Antalya International Airport is about 8.2 km from Antalya Inn Hotel near Kaleiçi, with a drive of about 38 minutes from the hotel to the airport. These are hotel-to-airport figures, not a fixed airport-to-hotel journey time; road conditions can change the drive.

If the hotel is your final stop, confirm the address and onward route before leaving the airport, especially if you plan to use public transport. Kaleiçi streets and the exact destination matter when deciding where to get off or where a taxi should take you.

For a late arrival, check bus and AntRay departure information before choosing public transport. Use the Antalyakart app or information line for bus times and the linked website for AntRay times. If the service you need does not suit your arrival, the airport taxi rank is in front of the arrivals exits at every terminal.

Free shuttles run between the Domestic Terminal/Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 in both directions. Stops are in front of the terminals’ departures areas, and vehicles leave every 20 minutes. This shuttle is for moving between terminals, not a connection to Kaleiçi.

Before leaving, confirm the departure time, route and any onward connection using the relevant transport operator’s information. For city buses, use the Antalyakart app or the Transportation Information Line; for AntRay, use the linked departure information. Check the official site before you go, particularly if your arrival time or connection depends on a specific service.
