Option 1: Taxi (Fastest and Most Direct)
Official metered taxis are available 24/7 at the rank outside the arrivals exit.
- Estimated fare: ~1,900 TRY (metered)
- Journey time: ~40–60 minutes
The taxi route heads east on the D400 through Serik and directly into the Belek hotel zone. Traffic is lightest in the early morning and late evening; allow extra time during summer afternoons.
Ensure the driver starts the meter. For large groups, a private minibus is often more economical than two taxis.
Option 2: Private Transfer (Most Popular for Belek Hotels)
Private transfers are the most commonly used option for Belek, especially for resort hotels, golf packages, and families.
- Typical fare: Often similar to or slightly above taxi for 2 passengers; more competitive for 3–4+
- Journey time: ~40–55 minutes
- Service: Arrivals meet-and-greet, direct hotel or golf resort drop-off
Most large Belek resorts — Regnum Carya, Rixos Premium, Gloria Hotels and others — offer guest transfer services. Check with your hotel before booking separately, as their rates can be competitive.
Option 3: Havaş Shuttle + Dolmuş (Budget Route)
No direct public bus runs from AYT to Belek, but the route can be pieced together with a little patience.

Step 2 — Dolmuş to Serik / Belek From Antalya otogar (intercity bus terminal), dolmuş minibuses head east toward Serik and Belek. Journey time is approximately 45–60 minutes, fare around 80–120 TRY. From the main Belek road, taxis or resort shuttles cover the final leg to your hotel.
- Total cost (approximate): 300–380 TRY per person
- Total journey time: ~2–2.5 hours
