Antalya to Manavgat takes about 1-1.5 hours
The road distance between central Antalya and Manavgat is about 75 km. Along the D400 highway it usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours by car. In the peak season of July and August, traffic can stretch that to as much as 2 hours.
Time from the airport to Manavgat
Antalya Airport (AYT) also lies about 75 km from Manavgat. Because the airport sits east of the city centre, Manavgat is a very similar distance away from it as from the centre, and the drive averages 60-75 minutes.
How to get from Antalya to Manavgat
- Private transfer: the most direct and comfortable option. The fare is confirmed at booking, the service is door to door and your flight is tracked.
- Bus: there are regular coaches from Antalya bus station to Manavgat. No change is needed, but it can be awkward with large suitcases.
- Taxi: an on-the-spot solution; the meter runs, and because the distance is long the final amount is not clear until the trip ends.
With a fixed-fare private transfer the price is set when you book and does not change along the way. Because your flight is tracked, the driver waits at the terminal exit with a name sign even if the plane lands late. Larger families or groups can choose a minibus or midibus.
