TL;DR
A group shuttle from Antalya airport costs roughly 3,500–4,000 RUB per person; travel time depends on the district (Side/Manavgat is about 1 hour, Kaş is 3+ hours). For longer distances or trips with kids, travelers often book a private transfer in advance.
Kiriş is about 70 km from Antalya Airport, with a travel time of roughly one hour. An operator-provided transfer with a scheduled stop en route may take about 20 minutes longer.
In late July, a shared transfer from Antalya Airport to Antalya city cost 1,080 TRY.
For a taxi ride from the airport, travelers suggest using the Martı Tag app, noting its prices are reasonable.
To find an airport transfer, travelers suggest installing the GetTransfer aggregator app: submit your trip details and after landing at Antalya airport you typically get 5+ offers from different carriers.
For the Antalya airport–Side route: a taxi costs around 6,000 RUB, while a premium minivan transfer (Maybach with recliner seats) was found for 5,000 RUB and considered a good deal.
For transfers to Kaş (about 3 hours from the airport), travelers look for private drivers and negotiate individual deals directly, rather than using standard group shuttles.
Exact travel time to the hotel varies by district — there's no single answer, but families traveling with young kids (e.g., a 4-year-old) tend to prefer a private transfer for comfort over a shared shuttle.
For a September trip, it's recommended to book the Antalya airport-to-hotel transfer in advance with a trusted operator rather than arranging it on arrival.
Current transfer prices to hotels in the Manavgat area (e.g., Megasaray in Side) should be checked closer to your travel dates, as seasonal rates fluctuate.
Rough trip cost benchmarks: a one-way flight ticket is about 45,000–50,000 RUB, a group airport transfer runs 3,500–4,000 RUB per person, and travel insurance is around 3,500 RUB.
