Antalya – Side Distance
The distance between Antalya city centre and Side is about 75 km along the D400, with a driving time of 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. From Antalya Airport (AYT), Side is roughly 65 km — slightly shorter, since the airport sits east of the city.
Route Information
The D400 is the main road from Antalya to Side, passing Belek and Serik on the way. To reach Side you turn off at the Side junction near Manavgat.
AYT – Side Transport Options
Private transfer: the most practical choice, with a fixed price, terminal meet-and-greet and flight tracking. Taxi: runs on the meter, so the amount is not fixed in advance. Bus + transfer: a bus from Antalya terminal to Manavgat, then a minibus to Side; the total can reach 2–3 hours and is tiring with large luggage.
About Side
Side is one of Türkiye's most popular resorts, known for its ancient harbour, the Temple of Apollo and broad sandy beaches. Visitor numbers are high in summer, so booking your transfer in advance is wise in that period.
