Antalya Airport to Kemer Transfer: Complete Guide Including Göynük, Beldibi & Çamyuva 2026
Kemer is the only major resort on the Antalya Riviera that goes west rather than east from the airport. It is also the most visually striking: the town and its surrounding villages sit between pine-covered Taurus mountains and the Mediterranean, with a distinctly different character from the flat all-inclusive strips of Belek or Lara. But Kemer is not a single place. It is five distinct sub-zones spread over 25 km of coastline — each with different distances, prices, and resort characters. This guide explains each sub-zone clearly and gives you accurate prices for all of them.
Quick Answer
Transfer from Antalya Airport to Kemer costs €85–€95 sedan depending on sub-zone. The Kemer zone has five distinct areas at different distances: Beldibi (€75 sedan, 45 km), Göynük (€80, 50 km), Kemer town (€85, 55 km), Çamyuva (€87, 58 km), and Tekirova/Phaselis (€95, 70 km). Specify your exact sub-zone at booking for accurate pricing. Driver waits in Terminal 2 Arrivals Hall with your name sign.

The Numbers — Five Sub-zones, Five Prices
Kemer is often booked as a single destination, but the five sub-zones vary by up to 25 km in distance from the airport. Using the wrong price can mean overpaying or arriving at the wrong drop-off zone.
| Sub-zone | Distance | Time | Sedan | Minivan | Night sedan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beldibi | 45 km | 45 min | €75 | €100 | €1 |
| Göynük | 50 km | 50 min | €80 | €105 | €1 |
| Kemer town | 55 km | 55 min | €85 | €110 | €111 |
| Çamyuva | 58 km | 58 min | €87 | €112 | €1 |
| Tekirova / Phaselis | 70 km | 70 min | €95 | €120 | €1 |
Important: at booking, always enter your hotel name and specify your sub-zone in the notes (e.g., "Göynük — Club Med Kemer"). This ensures the correct vehicle is sent to the correct zone at the correct price.
Step by Step — What Actually Happens
Step 1 — Flight tracking. Starts 3 hours before scheduled arrival. Any delay updates your driver automatically.
Step 2 — Terminal 2 Arrivals. After baggage reclaim and customs, exit through the automatic sliding doors. Turn left. Your driver stands in the row of transfer drivers along the left wall, inside the Arrivals Hall, with a printed sign bearing your name.
Step 3 — The route to Kemer. Here is something most tourists do not know before their first Kemer transfer: the route goes THROUGH the Antalya ring road and then south via the D400 west — it is NOT a coastal road from the airport. You will not see the sea for most of the journey. The route goes inland via the Antalya bypass, then curves south through increasingly mountainous terrain before reaching Beldibi and the coast.
Step 4 — Mountain section. The road between Beldibi and Kemer town runs through pine-forested mountains with the sea below. This section has hairpin bends — it is picturesque and safe but some passengers prefer to know about it in advance.
Step 5 — Hotel arrival. The driver delivers to your hotel entrance or, for larger resorts, the designated drop-off point. Pay in EUR cash or card.
The Road to Kemer: No Sea Views En Route
First-time visitors to Kemer sometimes expect a scenic coastal drive from the airport — similar to the D400 east toward Belek. This is not what the Kemer route looks like.
The route from Antalya Airport to Kemer:
1. Head west on the D400 through Antalya's urban outer ring (Aksu to Lara is the coastal section)
2. Cross the Antalya beltway bypass
3. Head south on the mountainous road through Beldibi
4. The sea becomes visible only at Beldibi (45 km from the airport)
The drive through the mountains is genuinely beautiful — dense pine forests, dramatic limestone cliffs, occasional sea glimpses — but the first 30 km is airport-to-ring-road driving. Manage expectations: it is not like arriving in Santorini.
Kemer vs Lara in character:
- Kemer: pine-mountain backdrop, smaller boutique hotels alongside large resorts, younger crowd, more watersports and outdoor activity, the town itself has a real marina and bazaar
- Lara: flat coastal plain, dominated by enormous all-inclusive mega-resorts, families, Russian package market
Vehicle Options
### Sedan — 1–3 adults, standard luggage
Standard comfort for the 45–70 minute journey. Note that the mountain section between Beldibi and Kemer town has curves — if any passengers are prone to motion sickness, the front seat is preferable.
### Minivan — families and groups of 4–6
Ford Transit Custom or VW Caravelle. Recommended for families: the mountain section is fine in a larger vehicle. Night price for minivan to Kemer town: €143.
### VIP Sedan — premium comfort
Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. Available for the Kemer route including all sub-zones.
Kemer Sub-zones: Where Each One Is
### Beldibi — Closest to airport, 45 km
Beldibi is the first Kemer sub-zone you reach from the airport. It sits right at the point where the mountain road meets the sea. Major hotels: Holiday Village Turkey (the iconic circular-architecture resort, formerly Club Med Palmiye), Rixos Sungate (note: this is Rixos Sungate Kemer, in Beldibi zone — different from Rixos Premium Belek). Good for those who want a shorter transfer and a quieter village atmosphere.
### Göynük — 50 km, pine forests and quiet beach
Göynük has a natural harbour and is less developed than Kemer town. Major hotels: Amara Club Marine (5-star, 500 rooms), some smaller boutique properties. Quieter, family-oriented.
### Kemer Town — 55 km, the main resort centre
Kemer town has the marina, the bazaar, a promenade, and the highest concentration of services. Club Med Kemer is located here (upmarket product with separate entrance — specify at booking for the correct drop-off). Good for travellers who want a resort town feel rather than a pure hotel compound.
### Çamyuva — 58 km, family resort zone
A small cove 3 km south of Kemer town. Beach clubs, family-oriented all-inclusives. Quieter nightlife than Kemer town. Slightly longer journey but same general character.
### Tekirova / Phaselis — 70 km, the furthest sub-zone
The southernmost sub-zone, closest to the ancient ruins of Phaselis. Most expensive sub-zone because of the additional 15 km compared to Kemer town. Hotels: some upmarket boutique properties, Amara Dolce Vita (large 5-star). Best for travellers who want natural beach over party atmosphere.

| Minibus (shared shuttle) | €10–15/person | 90–120 min | Multiple stops, infrequent |
| Rental car | €40–80/day + fuel | 55 min | Mountain road; parking €5–15/day |
There is no direct HAVAS airport bus to Kemer. The nearest option is the city centre bus then a second journey — total 2+ hours. Private transfer is the dominant practical choice for Kemer.
Local Knowledge — Seasonal and Time-of-Day Reality
June–September peak season: Kemer road does not experience the same Saturday checkout rush as the Belek–Side corridor because Kemer check-in/out days tend to be more dispersed. Traffic on the Antalya ring road (07:00–09:00 weekdays) can add 10 minutes in summer.
October–November: arguably Kemer's best season. Fewer crowds, hiking weather in the mountains, sea still warm through October. The Antalya to Kemer road is at its most comfortable.
Winter (December–March): the mountain section between Beldibi and Kemer town can see 5°C temperatures. The vehicle will be heated, but bring a jacket for the walk to the hotel entrance.
Night arrivals at Kemer: the mountain road at night is perfectly safe with an experienced local driver. Night journey time to Kemer town: approximately 42 minutes.
