Antalya Airport to Kaş Transfer: Overview
Kaş is a boutique holiday town on the Mediterranean coast, southwest of Antalya. Known for the Ancient Lycian Way, diving spots, narrow stone streets and beautiful sunsets, Kaş is a favorite for nature and culture lovers. The distance from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Kaş is approximately 189 km and the journey takes 180-210 minutes (3-3.5 hours). This is one of the longest transfer routes in the Antalya region.
Travel Time and Road Conditions
The AYT-Kaş route follows the D400 coastal road through Kemer, Tekirova, Olympos, Çıralı, Finike, Demre and Kaş. Key points:
- The road becomes winding after Kumluca and Finike, lowering average speed
- Summer tourist traffic can extend the journey by 30-45 minutes
- The route is accompanied by orange/lemon groves, Mediterranean views and Taurus mountain silhouettes
- Rest stops are available near Olympos, Çıralı or Finike
Transfer Options
Private VIP Transfer (Strongly Recommended)
The most comfortable option for this 189 km journey is private transfer. The driver meets you at the airport exit and takes you directly to your hotel. Rest stops are accommodated on request. Thanks to flight tracking, there are no extra charges for delayed flights.
Bus (Not Recommended)
Regular buses run from Antalya bus terminal to Kaş, but:
- You need to reach the bus terminal from the airport (extra 30-40 min + cost)
- Travel time can reach 4 hours
- Traveling with luggage is difficult
- Another taxi is needed from Kaş terminal to your hotel
Car Rental
You can drive yourself, but the 3-hour winding road can be tiring with jet lag. The coastal road has challenging curves for inexperienced drivers. Rental, deposit and insurance costs usually exceed a private transfer.
