How do you get from Antalya Airport to Çıralı?
Çıralı is a quiet cove in the Kemer district of Antalya — a loggerhead-turtle (caretta caretta) nesting beach where through-traffic is deliberately kept to a minimum. Its closeness to the ancient city of Olympos and to Yanartaş makes it a favourite with nature lovers. The distance between Antalya Airport (AYT) and Çıralı is roughly 75–85 km; by private car along the coastal road the journey takes about 60–75 minutes in normal traffic. The lanes down into Çıralı are narrow and partly unpaved, so a driver who knows the area makes everything easier.
Your options for reaching Çıralı
There is no direct public-transport link to Çıralı, so in practice your options are:
- Private transfer: Door-to-door from the terminal exit straight to your pension or bungalow, with no changes.
- Taxi: Licensed taxis wait at the airport; the meter runs on an opening (drop) charge plus a per-kilometre rate, a night tariff may apply, and the total isn’t clear until the trip ends. Not every taxi is keen to take Çıralı’s narrow lanes.
- Multi-leg public transport: You would travel first to Kemer, then via Çamyuva to a Çıralı shared minibus (dolmuş) — three or four changes and long waits. The Kemer–Çıralı minibuses run only at limited times and thin out on summer evenings.
Why choose a private transfer?
For a cove like Çıralı, where vehicle access is restricted and the roads are narrow, a private transfer is the most comfortable solution. With Duru VIP Transfer your licensed driver meets you at the terminal exit with a name sign; your flight is tracked, and if your landing is delayed the driver still waits for you. The fare is set when you book and does not change en route, and transfers can be planned for any hour, including late-night or early-morning flights. The right vehicle for your group and luggage is arranged in advance.
Yanartaş, Olympos and the outdoors
Most visitors to Çıralı want to see the peaceful beach, the ancient city of Olympos and, just above the village, Yanartaş — the natural flames that rise from the rocks. These sights lie close together and can be planned into a single day; if you tell us your preferred route in advance, your transfer can be arranged around it.
