Reaching the City Centre from Antalya Airport by AntRay
For anyone wanting to reach the city centre from Antalya Airport, the AntRay tram is an economical choice. This guide covers the route, the operating hours and the practical limits, and offers a transfer-free alternative for travellers with large luggage or those who want to save time.
Route and Journey Time
The AntRay line connects Antalya Airport with the city centre by way of the EXPO area. The trip to the centre takes about 30-40 minutes. During the day, trams run roughly every 10-15 minutes.
Operating Hours
The line runs from around 06:00 until a last departure near 23:00-23:15. Because times are updated from season to season, it is wise to confirm the current schedule with Antalya Ulaşım A.Ş. before your travel date. To board you need a rechargeable AntalyaKart.
The Limits of AntRay
- Boarding with large suitcases at busy times can be difficult; luggage space on the tram is limited
- AntRay does not reach holiday areas such as Lara, Kundu, Belek, Side, Kemer and Alanya
- There is no late-night service; you should also add the walk from the terminal exit to the stop and any change
The Transfer-Free Alternative: Your Driver Waits for You
Instead of walking between tram stops and changing lines, with Duru VIP Transfer you can be met at the terminal exit with a name sign. The fare is fixed at booking and does not change en route; because your flight is tracked, even if your landing time slips your driver waits for you, and you reach your hotel door directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AntRay leave from the terminal itself? A short walk from the terminal exit to the tram stop is needed; this adds a few minutes to the total time.
Can I reach Kaleiçi by AntRay? You can get off at one of the central stations and walk to Kaleiçi; the distance is short.
Will AntRay take me straight to my hotel? If your hotel is in Lara, Belek, Kemer or Side, no; those routes need a private transfer.
