Antalya Airport (AYT) at a glance
Antalya Airport (IATA code AYT) sits about 10–13 km northeast of the city centre, making it one of the more conveniently located major airports on the Mediterranean. It has two passenger terminals, both well used by charter and scheduled flights from across Europe, especially in summer.
Getting from the airport into Antalya
Taxi
The simplest option. Official taxis wait outside both terminals; confirm it's metered (or agree a fixed price before you get in) and expect the ride to the city centre or Lara to take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
Havaş airport bus
A dedicated airport shuttle service connects both terminals to the main otogar (bus station) and city centre on a regular timetable — a cheap, reliable option if you're travelling light and your hotel is near a stop.
Tram (Antray)
Antalya's tram line (AntRay) has a stop connected to the airport, running into the city centre and connecting with the older nostalgic tram (Nostalji Tramvay) that loops through Kaleiçi. It's inexpensive but slower than a taxi and involves a short walk/transfer at the terminal.
Hotel or private transfer
Many hotels, especially in Belek, Side, Kemer and other resort areas further from the airport, offer or can arrange a private transfer — worth it for larger groups or if you're heading straight to a resort 45+ minutes away.
Rental car
All the major international agencies and several local ones operate desks at both terminals. See our car rental guide for what to check before you sign.
Which terminal?
Terminal 1 handles a large share of international scheduled and charter traffic; Terminal 2 (and the domestic terminal) handles the rest, including most domestic Turkish Airlines and Pegasus flights. Always double-check your terminal on your boarding pass or booking confirmation — they're a few kilometres apart and not walkable between.
