Alanya has its own small airport, but most UK and Irish visitors fly into Antalya and transfer along the coast.
Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport (GZP) is 40 kilometres east of town but has few direct UK flights. Antalya Airport (AYT) is 125 kilometres west, about two hours by coach.
Antalya has direct flights from across the UK and Ireland with Jet2, easyJet, TUI, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and Aer Lingus. A handful of seasonal charters use Gazipaşa; check your package carefully, as the difference in transfer time is large.
Package holidays normally include a coach transfer from Antalya of two to two and a half hours. Private transfers take around 90 minutes. Havaş shuttles connect both airports to Alanya’s coach station.
The D400 coast road links Alanya with Side and Antalya to the west and Anamur to the east. Coaches run every hour to Antalya and daily to Cappadocia and Konya.
Check entry rules for UK and Irish passports, read getting around Turkey and compare car hire in Alanya. Then pick where to stay.
