Meeting Your Driver at Antalya Airport

Arrivals

Antalya Airport has two international terminals. Terminal 2 (T2) is the primary international terminal and handles the majority of scheduled flights. Terminal 1 (T1) continues to operate alongside it. Your booking confirmation will specify which terminal your flight arrives into.

For international arrivals at either terminal, the process from gate to arrivals hall follows the same sequence. After deplaning, follow the signs through passport control, then proceed to baggage reclaim. Collect your luggage and pass through customs. Your Airport Executive chauffeur will be waiting in the main arrivals hall with a personalised name board, ready to assist with your luggage and guide you to your vehicle.

For domestic arrivals, passport control is not required. Follow the signs to baggage reclaim, collect your bags and proceed to the arrivals hall, where your driver will be waiting with a name board.

‍

Departures

Please check your booking confirmation to confirm whether your flight departs from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Each terminal has its own passenger drop-off zone at the departures entrance. If your itinerary requires a change of terminal, a free shuttle bus runs between T1 and T2 throughout the day. Your chauffeur will drop you at the correct terminal entrance based on your flight details.

Timing Tips for Antalya Airport

Arriving at Antalya

For international arrivals, allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes from landing to reaching the arrivals hall. This covers the walk from the gate, passport control, baggage reclaim and customs clearance.

During the peak summer season from June to August, and over school holidays, passport control queues at Antalya Airport can be considerably longer. At the busiest times the full process can take 90 minutes or more. Your Airport Executive chauffeur monitors your flight in real time and will be waiting whenever you emerge, but if you are travelling in high season and want a faster passage through immigration, pre-booking fast track is strongly recommended.

For domestic arrivals, no passport control is required. Allow approximately 20 to 30 minutes from landing to reaching the arrivals hall.

‍

Departing from Antalya

For international departures, arrive at the airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security and passport control. During the summer peak, queues at all stages can be longer than expected, and three hours should be treated as a minimum rather than a comfortable margin.

For domestic departures, arriving two hours before your flight is generally sufficient.

Top Attractions Near Antalya Airport

Kaleiçi (Antalya Old Town)

The ancient heart of Antalya, Kaleiçi wraps around a picturesque Roman harbour and is one of the best-preserved old towns on the Mediterranean coast. Hadrian's Gate, the old city walls, Ottoman mansions and a maze of narrow cobbled streets make it an essential first stop for visitors to the city. Approximately eight miles from the airport and reachable in around 20 minutes.

​

Düden Waterfalls

One of the most visited natural attractions near Antalya, the Düden Waterfalls come in two sections. The upper falls cascade through a wooded park within the city, while the lower falls plunge dramatically from a coastal cliff directly into the Mediterranean Sea. Both are accessible within a short drive of the city centre.

​

Konyaaltı Beach

Antalya's main city beach stretches for several kilometres along the western edge of the city, backed by the dramatic peaks of the Taurus Mountains. Clear Mediterranean water, a broad Blue Flag-status shoreline and easy access from the city centre make it a popular choice for travellers staying in Antalya itself.

​

Antalya Aquarium

Home to the world's largest underwater tunnel exhibit, Antalya Aquarium houses 40 themed tanks covering ecosystems from the Red Sea to the Amazon. A tropical reptile house, a 3D cinema and a snow experience museum sit alongside the main attraction, making it a full half-day visit for families and solo travellers alike.

One of the most extensive Roman archaeological sites in Turkey, Perge lies approximately 12 miles east of the airport and features a colonnaded main street, a large stadium, a theatre and elaborate bath complexes set amid the surrounding orange groves.
