How long does the transfer from Antalya Airport to Kemer or Tekirova hotels take, and is a private transfer worth it?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
For hotels in the far Kemer area, especially Tekirova, a shared airport transfer usually takes around 2h40m to 3h because of multiple hotel stops and a scheduled rest stop. A private transfer is much faster, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
What the community said
A minibus transfer from the airport took about 2 hours 40 minutes; there were only 4 hotel drop-offs on the route, so the trip felt relatively manageable.

A shared operator transfer by minibus took just under 3 hours to reach the last hotel. There was also the usual 20-minute stop at a shop about 50 minutes after leaving Antalya Airport.

For Tekirova, one of the farthest resort areas in Kemer, a shared transfer can stretch to around 3 hours if the bus stops at more than 7 hotels and has to maneuver into each entrance.
