Antalya Airport to Barut Acanthus & Cennet Transfer

Barut Acanthus & Cennet is a seaside resort hotel set near Side, one of the most popular stretches of Turkey's Mediterranean coast. It lies within easy reach of the old town of Side, with its long sandy beaches and well-known ancient ruins close by.

Visitors choose this part of the coast for the combination of a warm climate through much of the year, a coastline lined with resorts, and the chance to combine a beach holiday with sightseeing. The historic harbour town of Side, with its temple ruins and seafront restaurants, is one of the main draws nearby.

Because the resort works as a self-contained base, many guests arrange only the airport transfer in advance and let the rest of their stay take shape once they have settled in.

The journey from Antalya Airport to Barut Acanthus & Cennet covers roughly 65 km and takes about 60 minutes in normal traffic. Your driver leaves the airport and heads east on the main coastal highway that links Antalya with Belek, Serik and Side.

The route is mostly modern dual carriageway, running past citrus groves, the pine forests the Belek area is known for, and glimpses of the countryside that opens out toward Side. There are no awkward detours, so the ride stays direct and comfortable from terminal to hotel.

From the moment your driver greets you at arrivals to drop-off at the resort entrance, everything is handled for you, which is a real comfort at the end of a long flight.

We offer two main vehicle types for this route. An economy car suits couples and small families and starts from €29 per vehicle one way. A Vito minivan, with more room for passengers and luggage, starts from €38 per vehicle one way. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, so the fare stays the same however many seats are filled.

Every transfer includes a free meet and greet with a name sign in arrivals, flight tracking so the driver adjusts to delays or early landings, and free child seats on request. There is no prepayment required.

You simply pay the driver at the end of the ride, in cash or by card, at the fixed price agreed when you book.

When you book, let us know your total luggage and group size so the right vehicle is ready. Larger families or anyone travelling with golf bags or extra cases will usually be more comfortable in the Vito.

Return transfers are easy to arrange at the same time, and we recommend setting a pickup that leaves enough margin to reach the airport calmly. For arrivals, the quietest roads are usually outside the early-evening peak, though a private transfer keeps things simple at any hour.

During your stay, the old town of Side is close by and well worth an evening, with its ancient ruins, harbour and seafront dining only a short trip from the resort.

The biggest advantage of a private transfer to a hotel like Barut Acanthus & Cennet is how smooth the final stretch of your journey becomes. Instead of finding a taxi or working out a shuttle timetable, you walk out of arrivals to a waiting driver who already knows your hotel.

The car takes you door to door, right to the resort entrance, so the first thing you do on holiday is check in rather than navigate. With children, this matters even more, since tired little ones go straight from the airport to the hotel.

By fixing the price and the pickup in advance, you remove the last bit of travel stress and start your stay relaxed.
