Best Option

VIP Private Transfer (Mercedes Vito/Sprinter) or car hire from the airport

The unspoilt nature of Kaş and Kalkan owes much to their distance from major airports. This keeps mass tourism at bay but makes choosing the right transport strategy essential. Here's how to start your holiday in comfort.

Which Airport: Dalaman or Antalya?

Your first choice when booking flights should always be Dalaman Airport (DLM). The route via Fethiye and Göcek is largely highway-quality, taking you to Kalkan in about 1.5 hours and Kaş in about 2 hours. Antalya Airport (AYT)offers spectacular coastal scenery via the Kemer–Kumluca–Finike route, but it's a winding, single-carriageway road and the journey can stretch to 3.5 hours.

VIP Airport Transfer & Car Hire Luxury

After a long flight, wrestling with luggage and waiting for buses or dolmuş in the heat doesn't fit a luxury holiday. The smartest solution: our private VIP transfer, a Mercedes Vito or Sprinter waiting for you the moment you land. If you plan to freely explore Kaputaş, Patara, Saklıkent, and other spread-out attractions during your stay, arranging a car hire delivered to your hotel or villa maximises both comfort and time.
