Key Advantage: Faster Exit & Direct Routes

Where is Gazipaşa Airport? The Strategic Gateway

Located on the eastern edge of the Antalya province, Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is strategically positioned to serve the high-demand resort regions of eastern Alanya.

  • To Alanya City Center: 40 km (~45 Minutes)
  • To Mahmutlar: 30 km (~35 Minutes)
  • To Kargıcak: 25 km (~30 Minutes)

By landing at Gazipaşa, you bypass the 2-hour drive from Antalya Airport, meaning you can go from the baggage claim to the Mediterranean Sea in under an hour.

Why Choose Gazipaşa Airport Over Antalya Airport?

In summer, travelers are increasingly choosing GZP for its streamlined experience. Unlike the massive terminals of Antalya, Gazipaşa offers:

  • Rapid Baggage Claim: Smaller passenger volumes mean your bags often arrive before you do.
  • Short Transfer Times: You save at least 60–90 minutes of road time compared to landing in Antalya.
  • Stress-Free Navigation: A single terminal makes meeting your transfer driver effortless.

Transfer Options from Gazipaşa Airport

Depending on your group size and budget, there are four main ways to reach your destination:

1. Private VIP Transfer (The Gold Standard)

For those who prioritize safety and speed, a private transfer is the best choice. Your driver meets you at the arrivals gate with a name sign and takes you directly to your hotel lobby.

Estimated Private Rates (One Way):
  • Standard Sedan (1-3 Pax): €25 – €40
  • VIP Minivan (1-7 Pax): €35 – €60
  • Large Minibus (8+ Pax): €70 – €95

2. Shared Shuttle Transfer

A budget-friendly choice at €8 – €15 per person. While economical, keep in mind that you may wait up to 45 minutes at the airport for other passengers, and the shuttle will make multiple hotel stops along the coastal road.

3. Taxi Service

Taxis are available outside the terminal 24/7. However, with fares ranging from €30 to €50, they often cost more than a pre-booked VIP minivan while offering less luggage space and no fixed-price guarantee.

Most Popular Transfer Routes

The drive from Gazipaşa follows a stunning coastal highway with views of the Taurus Mountains on one side and the Mediterranean on the other.

  • Gazipaşa to Mahmutlar: The fastest transfer. Mahmutlar is a booming residential and holiday hub popular with long-stay visitors.
  • Gazipaşa to Alanya Castle: A scenic 45-minute drive that drops you in the historic heart of the city.
  • Gazipaşa to Okurcalar/Avsallar: While these are further west, GZP remains a viable alternative to Antalya for these areas.
Pro Tip: Flight tracking is essential. Ensure your transfer provider monitors your flight ID. Gazipaşa is a smaller airport, and if your flight is delayed, you want to be certain your driver is still waiting for you at the specific arrival time.
