Location and Character
Kumköy is a holiday town known for the long sandy beaches along its Mediterranean shore. It is the choice of those seeking a calmer setting than the bustle of Side, and large hotel complexes are concentrated in the area. Thanks to its closeness to ancient Side, you get a beach holiday and a dose of history in the same spot — the Side theatre and old harbour are an easy short hop away.
Getting to Kumköy from Antalya Airport
The distance between Antalya Airport (AYT) and Kumköy is about 65-70 km; by private transfer the journey takes 55-70 minutes. There is no direct public-transport link from the airport — you would first head to the city centre and then change towards Manavgat and Side, with a total that can reach 2.5-3 hours. The most comfortable way is a private transfer: with Duru VIP Transfer the fare is fixed at booking, the driver meets you with a name sign, and you are taken straight to the hotel door.
