Is There a Havaş Shuttle from Antalya Airport to Side?
The short answer is no. Havaş does not run a regular, direct service from Antalya Airport to Side. On the Antalya route Havaş mainly connects the airport with the city centre, while Side sits roughly 65 km away, belongs to the Manavgat district, and falls outside the Havaş network.
Reaching Side by Public Transport
Because there is no Havaş option, travelling by public transport means a journey with several changes. The usual sequence looks like this:
- Take the AntRay T1 tram from the airport into central Antalya (about 30-35 minutes)
- Board a bus toward Manavgat from the Antalya bus terminal (around 1.5-2 hours)
- Switch to a Side dolmuş minibus from Manavgat (about 15-20 minutes)
Door to door this routinely takes more than three hours, and dragging large suitcases through each change can be tiring, especially after a long flight.
A More Direct Way to Travel
If you would rather skip the transfers, a private transfer is the most practical choice. With Duru VIP Transfer the fare is confirmed the moment you book and does not change along the way; your driver meets you at the terminal exit holding a sign with your name, and because your flight is tracked, a delayed landing will not disrupt the meeting. You reach your hotel door in Side in a single vehicle in roughly 55-65 minutes.
