Antalya Airport to Mermerli Beach Transfer

Mermerli Beach is a compact pebble-and-sand cove set directly below the historic walls of Kaleici, Antalya's Old Town. Reached through a restaurant terrace and a stairway down the cliff, it is one of the few swimming spots right inside the old city, which gives it a tucked-away, scenic character you do not find on the long open beaches outside town.

People come here for the clear, sheltered water and the dramatic backdrop of the ancient harbour walls rising above the cove. The bay is small and framed by cliffs, so it feels calm and protected rather than vast and exposed, and the views over the Mediterranean and the marina are part of the appeal.

Because it sits within walking distance of Kaleici's lanes, the harbour and the city's main sights, Mermerli works well as a short swim stop woven into a day of exploring the Old Town rather than a full-day resort beach.

The drive from Antalya Airport to Mermerli Beach covers about 15 km and takes roughly 22 minutes in normal traffic. Leaving the terminal, the route follows the main roads that run from the airport toward the city centre, so most of the journey is on smooth, well-used highway heading west into Antalya.

As you near the centre the surroundings shift from the open airport area to the busier, greener streets of the city, and the coast appears as you approach the Old Town. The final stretch winds into the historic Kaleici quarter, where narrow lanes lead down toward the harbour and the cove.

With a private transfer there are no extra stops and no shared van. Your driver takes a direct route and drops you as close to the Old Town entrance as the streets allow. Times can rise a little at rush hour or on peak summer afternoons, but on this short city route the ride stays comfortably quick.

We offer two main vehicle types for the Mermerli Beach route. The economy car starts from €14 one way and comfortably carries a small group with standard luggage, while the Mercedes Vito minivan starts from €18 one way and suits larger families or groups travelling with more bags and beach gear.

Every price is per vehicle, not per person, and it is fixed in advance, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay regardless of traffic or the time of day. No prepayment is required: you simply pay the driver at the end of the trip, in cash or by card.

The price already includes a free meet and greet with a name sign in the arrivals hall, flight tracking so we adjust to your real landing time, and free child seats when you request them. With one clear per-vehicle price, there are no surprises waiting for you at the kerb.

When you book, tell us how many travellers and suitcases you have so we can send the right vehicle; the Vito is the safer choice if you are carrying a lot of luggage or beach equipment. Let us know in advance if you need child seats and how many, as these are provided free of charge.

Because Mermerli sits inside the pedestrian streets of Kaleici, your driver will set you down at the nearest accessible point, from where it is a short walk through the Old Town to the cove. Pack light beach essentials, as the final approach is on foot and includes a stairway down to the water.

Return transfers back to the airport are easy to arrange at the same time as your arrival booking. The Old Town itself is a highlight, so many travellers combine a swim at Mermerli with time among Kaleici's lanes, the old harbour and the historic gates before heading back.

Mermerli is a small cove rather than a wide sandy strip, with a mix of sand and pebbles and water that stays sheltered by the surrounding cliffs and harbour walls. Access is typically through the restaurant terrace above and down a stairway, which is part of what keeps the bay quiet and scenic.

The swimming season on the Antalya coast generally runs from late spring through autumn, when the sea is warm and the days are long; high summer is busiest and hottest, while late spring and early autumn are calmer and more comfortable for walking the Old Town as well.

Bring the simple things that make a cove visit easy: swimwear, a towel, sun protection and water shoes are useful on pebbles, plus a hat and sunscreen for the strong midday sun. Because the beach is reached on foot through Kaleici, travelling light makes the walk down and back much more pleasant.
