How much is 1 km by taxi in Antalya?
It would be misleading to quote a single lira figure, because the taxi tariff in Antalya is set by the Metropolitan Municipality and is revised from time to time. The fare has two parts: an opening (drop) charge that applies at the start of the journey, and a per-kilometre amount added for each kilometre after that. A separate night tariff may apply. The most reliable way to know the current amounts is to ask about the official tariff before you travel and to follow the meter of a licensed taxi.
Why can the meter be unpredictable?
The meter runs continuously throughout the trip. Heavy traffic, long waits or an alternative route can all push the total up. That is why, especially on a long route, you cannot know in advance the amount you will face at the end of the journey the moment you step off the plane.
The fixed-fare private transfer difference
With a private transfer the fare is fixed at the moment you book and does not change along the way; even if traffic drags on, the amount stays the same. Your driver meets you at the terminal exit with a name sign, your flight is tracked and the vehicle goes directly to your address. This predictability is a real comfort, particularly when heading to resort areas far from the airport.
Approximate distances
Approximate road distances from Antalya Airport to some popular points:
- City centre — about 13-14 km
- Lara — about 12 km
- Belek — about 35 km

The greater the distance, the greater the uncertainty on a metered ride; a fixed-fare transfer makes your budget clear from the start.
