Why not take a taxi or bus to Alanya?
Taxi: The metered taxi from Antalya Airport to Alanya costs €200–350 depending on the driver and route chosen. This is 25–120% more than a fixed-price private transfer.
HAVAS bus: No direct airport bus service to Alanya. You would need to take the HAVAS bus to Antalya bus station (otogar), then a separate coach to Alanya (2–3 hours total, multiple changes).
Rental car: 130 km of coastal highway driving after a long flight with luggage is tiring. Parking at Alanya resorts can be €10–20/day.
Verdict: For Alanya, the private transfer advantage over taxi is at its strongest — the longer the route, the more a fixed price saves you.
