Journey overview
The D400 highway is the only route east. After Side, the road passes through Manavgat, Alanya's western suburbs, and into the city. Alanya has its own bypass road that avoids city centre traffic. For hotels west of Alanya (Okurcalar, Rixos Sungate zone), you exit before the city; for central Alanya hotels, the driver enters the city and navigates to the hotel.
Typical journey: 90 minutes. In peak August, allow up to 130 minutes.
Night transfers to Alanya
Night surcharge (+30%) applies to pickups starting 22:00–06:00. Many charter flights from Germany (Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf) and Russia (Moscow, St Petersburg) arrive in the 23:00–02:00 window.
Night sedan rate: €208. Night minivan: €260.
The D400 at night is noticeably faster than daytime — the 90-minute typical journey can be done in 80–85 minutes after 22:00. All Alanya hotel entrances are staffed 24 hours.

Alanya: city overview and what to do
Alanya is not just a resort strip — it is a functioning Turkish city of 350,000 people. The historic centre is dramatically positioned on a rocky promontory rising 250m above the sea, with a 13th-century Seljuk castle (Alanya Castle) at the summit.
Alanya Castle (Alanya Kalesi): The castle walls extend 6.5 km around the entire headland — the most complete Seljuk fortifications in Turkey. The Red Tower (Kızıl Kule) at the harbour base is the iconic image. A cable car runs from the beach promenade to the upper castle. Visit early morning to avoid summer heat at the top.
Cleopatra Beach: The main city beach, 3 km long, running west from the Red Tower. One of Turkey's most famous beaches — the legend that Cleopatra bathed here is almost certainly fictional but persistently marketed. The beach is public and free; sunbed rental from local operators.
Damlataş Cave: Adjacent to Cleopatra Beach, the stalactite cave has a constant temperature of 22°C and high CO₂ content traditionally used for treating asthma. Open daily.
Dim Cave and Dim River: 12 km east of Alanya centre, Dim Cave is one of the largest stalactite caves in Turkey (400m long, 15m high). The Dim River canyon has a 5 km hiking trail with swimming holes — popular day trip.
Nightlife: Alanya has the most active nightlife on the Turkish Riviera. The harbour strip and Güllerpınarı Caddesi have clubs open until 04:00 in season. This is relevant for transfers: return pickups from central Alanya hotels may involve more noise and later timing than Belek or Kemer transfers.
Child seats: Free child seats on request — infant (0–13 kg), toddler (9–18 kg), booster (15–36 kg). Specify the child's age and weight at booking. For the ${alanya.min}–130 minute journey, child seats are essential for young children.
