A metered taxi from the official rank runs around 690 TL (roughly €12), while a pre-booked private transfer costs €20–40 fixed. For such a short hop the daytime taxi is hard to beat on price, but a named driver waiting at arrivals still shifts the maths for late flights. The calculator below compares taxi and transfer for your group size.

Arriving in Lara

Lara's hotels split into two zones. The Kundu strip at the eastern end holds the big themed mega-resorts with gated driveways - drivers know them all by name, so give the exact hotel name rather than just 'Lara' and you will be dropped at the lobby door. Closer to the city, the town side of Lara around the cliffs has smaller hotels on ordinary streets, where the drop-off is straightforward.

Once checked in, most Kundu resorts are self-contained, but the trip into Antalya's old town (Kaleici) takes 20-30 minutes by taxi, and many hotels run scheduled shuttle minibuses into the centre - ask reception for times. There is no tram out to the Lara strip, so plan on taxis or hotel transport for excursions.

Avoid the common scams

Make sure the driver starts the meter before pulling away. Antalya airport taxis are metered, with the official tariff posted on a fare board at the rank - a verbal 'fixed price' to Lara in cash is always worse than the meter on this short run.
Landing at night? Antalya has no night tariff, so the meter reads the same at 3 am as at midday. A pre-booked transfer still suits late flights: the driver waits at arrivals and there is no rank queue to join.
Use only the official rank outside arrivals and ignore anyone offering a car inside the terminal. Precisely because a legitimate metered ride to Lara is cheap, touts target this route with inflated flat quotes.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Antalya Airport to Lara?

A metered taxi costs roughly the TL amount shown in the calculator above (updated with the current official tariff) - typically around 690 TL in daytime, which works out to about €12.

How long does the transfer take?

15-25 minutes for the 13 km drive. The Kundu resorts at the far end of the strip sit at the top of that range, town-side Lara hotels at the bottom. Outside summer weekend evenings there is no meaningful traffic on this route.

Is a pre-booked transfer worth it over a taxi to Lara?

For a daytime arrival, the metered taxi is usually the cheapest door-to-door option. A fixed transfer at €20–40 makes sense for night arrivals (a driver waiting at arrivals, no rank queue), for families who need child seats, or if you want a driver waiting at arrivals with your name on a sign.

Is there a cheap public option to Lara?

Not really. The AntRay tram from the airport runs west into the city centre - the opposite direction from the Lara strip - and there is no direct rail or shuttle to the resort zone. With the taxi at only around €12, any bus combination saves very little once you factor in luggage.

Do Lara hotels offer their own airport shuttles?

Many of the larger Kundu resorts arrange paid or package-included transfers, so check with your hotel before booking anything separately. If the hotel quotes above €40 for a private car, an independent pre-booked transfer will usually undercut it.

Before you fly

Have data the moment you land

A Turkey eSIM installed before departure connects as soon as the plane doors open, so you can message your driver, open the meter estimate or ring the hotel without hunting for airport Wi-Fi. Airalo's Turkey plans run on the Turk Telekom network, from 3 to 30 days with unlimited-data options; it is data only and needs an unlocked, eSIM-capable phone, so check compatibility before you buy.
