Antalya Airport to Sorgun (Side) Transfer

Sorgun is a holiday district on the eastern edge of the Side area, in the Manavgat part of Antalya province. It is best known for the pine forest that runs right down to the shore, giving the resort its green, shaded character and setting it a little apart from the busier town centre of Side.

Most visitors come here to stay in the resort hotels that line the coast and to enjoy the long beach, the calm sea and the woodland walking and cycling paths nearby. It is a quieter, more nature-focused alternative to the centre, while still being close to everything.

Because Side's ancient ruins, the harbour and the shopping streets are only a short drive away, Sorgun suits families and couples who want a peaceful beachside base with sightseeing within easy reach. A direct transfer from the airport drops you right at your hotel so you can settle in straight away.

The drive from Antalya Airport to Sorgun covers about 66 km and takes roughly 60 minutes in normal traffic. After leaving the terminal, the route joins the main eastbound highway towards Serik and Manavgat, a well-maintained dual carriageway that carries most of the coastal traffic.

The journey runs through the green Belek & Side plain, with citrus groves and pine on either side and the Taurus Mountains rising inland to the north. As you near Side the road branches off the highway towards the coast, and the final stretch winds through the Sorgun pine woods to your hotel.

With a private transfer there is no shared shuttle and no extra stops. Your driver takes the most direct sensible route and brings you right to the entrance of your hotel, so the whole experience is genuinely door to door. Travel times can rise a little during peak summer afternoons, but on the open highway the ride to Sorgun stays comfortable and predictable.

We offer two main vehicle types for the Sorgun route. The economy car starts from €29 one way and comfortably carries a small group with standard luggage, while the Mercedes Vito minivan starts from €38 one way and suits larger families or groups travelling with more bags.

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. There is no prepayment 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, let us know how many travellers and how many suitcases you have so we can send the right vehicle; the Vito is the safer choice if you are carrying a lot of luggage, a pushchair or beach gear. Tell us in advance if you need child seats and how many, as these are provided free of charge.

Return transfers from Sorgun back to the airport are easy to arrange at the same time as your arrival booking. For the trip home, leave with a comfortable buffer and allow for the roughly hour-long drive plus extra time during the busy summer months.

Sorgun is a handy base for the wider region: the centre of Side with its ruins and harbour is just minutes away, Manavgat and its waterfall lie a short drive inland, and resort areas such as Titreyengöl and Kumköy are close by. Keep your flight number handy when booking so our flight tracking can match your transfer to any schedule change.

The heart of Sorgun is its beach, a long stretch of sand and fine shingle running along the Mediterranean and backed by one of the area's distinctive features: the Sorgun pine forest, which brings welcome shade and a fresh, woodland scent right beside the sea.

The main season runs roughly from late spring through to early autumn, when the water is warm and the days are reliably sunny. Many sections of beach are managed by the resort hotels with sunbeds and facilities, while the surrounding woods offer shaded paths for a gentle walk or cycle away from the heat.

For a comfortable day bring sun protection, water and beach shoes, as parts of the shore can be pebbly. Arriving relaxed after a smooth door-to-door transfer means you can head straight to the sand and start your holiday without the stress of finding your own way from the airport.
