Antalya Airport to Antalium AVM Transfer

Antalium AVM is a modern enclosed shopping centre on the city side of Antalya, built around several floors of shops, cafes and restaurants. It brings together international and Turkish brands for clothing, footwear, cosmetics and everyday goods, along with a supermarket that is handy for stocking up before you reach your hotel.

An upper level is given over to dining and leisure, with a food court and sit-down restaurants, and the whole building is air-conditioned, which makes it a comfortable place to spend time on a hot summer afternoon. Visitors come both for proper shopping trips and for a relaxed few hours out of the sun.

For families the mall is easy to manage, with lifts, escalators and casual eateries that suit children. Like most large malls in Turkey it generally opens from around mid-morning until late evening, seven days a week, though exact hours can change on public holidays.

Antalium AVM sits on the same city-facing side of Antalya as the airport, so the drive is short and straightforward. Your route follows the main multi-lane roads that link the airport with the city, with built-up neighbourhoods around you rather than open countryside.

The distance is only about 15 km and the usual private-transfer time is around 22 minutes. In heavy summer traffic or at busy airport hours it can take a little longer, but it remains one of the quicker transfers on this coast.

Door to door, your driver meets you inside the terminal, helps with the bags and takes you straight to the mall entrance or your nearby hotel. There is no changing of vehicles, and because the fare is fixed per car you pay no extra if the traffic is slow.

Two vehicle types serve this route. An economy car costs from €14 one way and suits a couple or small family with normal luggage and a few shopping bags. A Vito minivan costs from €18 one way and gives more room for larger groups, extra suitcases or a big shopping haul.

Prices are per vehicle rather than per person, and they are fixed for the journey, so the figure quoted is the figure you pay no matter how many seats are filled. No prepayment is needed; you settle directly with the driver in cash or by card at the time of travel.

Every booking includes a free meet and greet with a name sign at arrivals, flight tracking so the driver adjusts to delays or early landings, and free child seats on request. The service runs around the clock, so late-night and very early flights are covered.

Because the ride is so short, this transfer works well even as a quick first stop on the way to your hotel, letting you pick up supplies, a SIM card or anything forgotten before you settle in. Keep a small bag of essentials handy in case you want to shop straight away.

If you plan to head back to the airport later, you can book the return leg at the same time. Give your pickup address and flight number, and the driver will collect you from the mall or your accommodation with enough margin for check-in and the drive back.

The calmest transfer times are mid-morning and early afternoon, while late-afternoon arrivals can meet more city traffic. From Antalium AVM you are well placed for the rest of the city side of Antalya, including the Lara and Konyaaltı districts and the old town of Kaleiçi a short drive away.

Antalium AVM is built for a full shopping day, with a broad mix of fashion, footwear, sportswear, cosmetics and homeware stores spread across its floors. A supermarket on site is useful for stocking up on water, snacks and holiday basics before you reach your accommodation.

When you need a break, the food court and restaurants offer everything from Turkish dishes to international fast food and coffee, and the air conditioning throughout makes the mall a comfortable midday refuge in high summer.

Families are well catered for, with pushchair-friendly lifts and escalators and plenty of casual seating. As a general guide the mall opens from late morning until late evening every day, but it is worth checking current hours before a public holiday.
