How to get from Alanya to Manavgat by dolmus (minibus)?

From a traveller's experience in July 2026, you can stop a bus heading to Manavgat as soon as you reach the main road. In Manavgat the large Novo Mall shopping centre is a handy landmark. On the way you can get off near Vaikiki, cross the road and walk around ancient Side.

From a traveller's experience in July 2026, roadside buses may also run without a visible number. In that case, tell the driver where you are going or show the place on a map. He was told to pay the fare when getting off.

In June 2026 a participant explained that direct dolmuses to Manavgat do not leave from the main bus terminal (otogar) but from the dolmus station. It is next to the large Vaikiki shopping centre, where the Friday market takes place. A dolmus is a shared minibus with its destination written on the front. Dolmus #20, marked 'Manavgat', goes there, stopping at every stop along the way and ending at Manavgat bus station.

On the fare to Manavgat, a participant said plainly in June 2026 that they did not know it and guessed around 200 lira. For comparison, in July 2026 a ride on bus #50 on the Konakli–Alanya route cost 65 lira. Confirm the fare to Manavgat with the driver when boarding.

Participants described how to stop roadside buses using trips to Alanya in summer 2026 as an example: a passing bus honks as it approaches, and you wave to make it stop. Buses #20 and #30 were mentioned on these trips. The driver could not always say exactly where to get off, so travellers followed the route on a navigation app.
