Gazipasa-Alanya Airport (GZP) Transfer Guide
Gazipasa-Alanya Airport (GZP) is the small airport that serves Alanya and the eastern end of the Antalya coast. It sits just outside Gazipasa town, about 43 km east of central Alanya, which makes it a 40-55 minute transfer instead of the two hours you face from Antalya Airport. The terminal is compact, most traffic is seasonal charter flights from northern Europe, and the ground transport is sized to match: a taxi rank, the Havas coach and the pre-booked cars.
At a glance
- Metered taxi: tariff-based, see route page · 40–55 min to Alanya
- Fixed-price private transfer: from €45, booked before you land
- Compare every option · 1 route guide with live calculators
That thin supply is the thing to plan around. When two or three charters land together the rank empties within minutes, and the Havas coach is timed to flights rather than a clock, so a late or delayed arrival can find neither. For anyone landing in the evening, with children, or in a group, a pre-booked fixed-price transfer from €45 is the reliable default; a solo traveller on a midday flight can take the coach into Alanya bus station for a fraction of the cost.
Ways into the city
| Option | Duration | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi | 40–55 min to Alanya | tariff-based, see route page | Antalya outer-district tariff, no night surcharge; rank outside arrivals, but numbers are limited when several flights land together. |
| Private transfer (pre-booked) best value | 40–55 min to Alanya | €45–60 fixed | Driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign; the one option that cannot run out on a busy evening. |
| Havas airport coach | ~60 min to Alanya otogar | ~₺330 per person | Timed to flight arrivals; calls at Kargicak, Mahmutlar, Kestel and Tosmur before Alanya bus station. Return departures are pinned to flight times - check hava.ist. |

A street taxi runs on the official municipal meter: the fare depends on distance and traffic, and you pay in lira at the end of the ride. It is usually the quickest option to jump into and works well for solo travellers with light luggage heading to a central district. The trade-off is uncertainty — roadworks, a detour or rush-hour traffic all show up on the meter, and drivers rarely agree to a price in advance.
A fixed-price private transfer flips that logic: you agree the total when you book, the driver tracks your flight and waits at arrivals with a name sign, and the quote is typically all-in for tolls and luggage. It tends to win for families, groups of three or more, night arrivals and anyone who prefers paying by card in advance. The table above shows the current numbers side by side, and each route guide below includes a live meter calculator for your exact destination.

Arrival tips at Gazipasa-Alanya Airport
- Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals and ignore anyone offering a ride inside the terminal — licensed taxis queue at the rank and run the meter.
- Check that the meter is running when you set off; quoting a flat price instead of using the meter is against the rules for street taxis in Turkey.
- Keep some Turkish lira for the ride: many taxis accept cards, but it is not guaranteed, and small notes make paying quicker.
- If you booked a private transfer, message your driver after landing and head to the agreed meeting point — flight delays are normally tracked automatically.
- Open the route guide for your destination before you get in: the live calculator gives a fare estimate you can sanity-check against the meter during the ride.
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.

How far is Gazipasa Airport from Alanya and how long is the transfer?
About 43 km along the D400 coast road: 40-55 minutes by taxi or private transfer to the centre and roughly an hour on the Havas coach with its stops. Hotels on the eastern strip (Mahmutlar, Kargicak) are 30-35 minutes away; the western villages beyond the centre (Konakli, Avsallar) are closer to an hour.
Is there a bus from Gazipasa Airport to Alanya?
Yes, the Havas airport coach, which meets arriving flights and runs to Alanya otogar via Kargicak, Mahmutlar, Kestel and Tosmur. There is no municipal city bus to the terminal. The coach is the cheapest way in, but it drops at the bus station rather than your hotel, and departures back to the airport follow flight times rather than a fixed timetable.
Should I fly to Gazipasa or Antalya for an Alanya holiday?
Gazipasa if you can: 43 km and under an hour, against 127 km and about two hours from Antalya. The trade-offs are fewer flights, a seasonal timetable and thinner transport on the ground, which is why pre-booking a transfer matters more here. If you are staying in Side or further west, Antalya Airport is the closer choice.
Can I get a taxi at Gazipasa Airport late at night?
Usually, but not reliably. Taxis wait outside arrivals when flights are due, and Antalya province has no night tariff, so the meter costs the same after midnight. The risk is availability: on evenings when several charters land together, the rank can be empty by the time you clear baggage. A pre-booked transfer removes that risk entirely.
