Antalya Airport to Manavgat Transfer

Manavgat is a riverside town in the eastern part of Antalya province, best known for the Manavgat River that winds through it and the wide, low Manavgat Waterfall just outside the centre. Many visitors come for a boat trip along the river, a stop at the waterfall, or the lively weekly market.

The town also works well as a calmer alternative to the busier resort strips. From here it is a short hop to Side, with its Roman theatre and Temple of Apollo by the sea, and to the long sandy beaches that line this stretch of coast.

Because Manavgat blends everyday Turkish town life with easy access to beaches and historic sites, it suits families, couples and anyone who wants a base that feels local rather than purely touristic.

From Antalya Airport the drive to Manavgat runs about 75 km and usually takes close to 65 minutes, depending on traffic and the season. Your driver tracks your flight, so arrival timing is adjusted automatically if you land early or late.

Most of the journey follows the main coastal highway heading east through the Belek and Side region. The road is modern and well maintained, passing pine forest, resort areas and glimpses of the Mediterranean along the way.

The service is genuinely door to door. After the meet and greet in the arrivals hall, the driver helps with your luggage and takes you directly to your hotel or address in Manavgat, with no changes or extra stops unless you request them.

Prices start from €32 for an economy car and from €42 for a Mercedes Vito minivan, charged per vehicle and one way, not per person. The economy car suits couples and small families, while the Vito is ideal for larger groups or anyone travelling with extra luggage.

Every booking includes a free meet and greet with a name sign, flight tracking and complimentary child seats on request. There is no prepayment required: you simply pay the driver at the time of travel.

Payment can be made in cash or by card, and the price you are quoted is fixed. That means no meter, no per-head surcharge and no hidden fees once you reach Manavgat.

There is no strict luggage limit, but if you are carrying bulky items such as golf bags, prams or bicycles, mention it when booking so the right vehicle is assigned. Letting us know how many child seats you need in advance also helps.

Return transfers back to Antalya Airport are easy to arrange; book both legs together and your pickup time is calculated around your departure flight. As a rule, allow a comfortable buffer for check-in when planning the return.

For onward exploring, Side, Side ancient city and the beaches near the rivermouth are all close by, and the same driver service can take you there. Early morning and late evening rides are usually the smoothest in high season.

The Manavgat Waterfall is one of the town's main draws: a broad, gently cascading fall on the river with terraced viewing areas and tea gardens nearby. It is an easy, family-friendly stop that needs only an hour or two to enjoy, and it is close enough to combine with other sights.

Boat trips along the Manavgat River are a relaxed way to see the area from the water, often continuing toward the point where the river meets the Mediterranean. Bring sun protection and comfortable shoes, as paths and boarding areas can be busy in peak months.

If you prefer history with your day out, the ancient city of Side is a short drive away, making it simple to pair the river and waterfall with Roman ruins in a single outing.
