Kundu to Alanya: the complete transfer guide
Kundu to Alanya Transfer: 135 km East to the Castle Coast
Alanya sits 135 km east of Kundu, and the drive takes about 130 minutes door to door in normal traffic. That is the run to the hilltop Red Tower, Cleopatra Beach and the harbour where the Seljuk shipyard still stands. It is one of the longest and most scenic transfers on this coast, tracing the Mediterranean past Side and Manavgat before the castle headland comes into view.
We collect you directly from your Kundu resort and drive straight to your Alanya hotel or to the sights, with no meter running and no detours to drop other passengers. Over 135 km, that difference is the whole trip: a fixed €60 agreed at booking versus a fare that climbs with every kilometre and every minute stuck behind a truck on the D400.
The vehicle for this route is a Mercedes V-Class business van. On a two-hour-plus drive you want the legroom, the boot space for full suitcases and the air-conditioning that actually cools a car parked in Antalya afternoon sun. This guide covers the price, the road, the vehicle, the stops worth making and everything you need to book with confidence.
Fixed Price Kundu to Alanya: €60 Agreed Before You Travel
The Kundu to Alanya transfer starts at €60 for the Mercedes V-Class business van, and that figure is locked when you book. No meter, no surge, no airport-queue premium and no surprise supplement when you arrive. You see the number before you commit, and it is the number you pay.
On a 135 km route a metered taxi is exactly where a fixed price earns its keep. Distance-based meters and holiday-season surcharges make the final fare unpredictable, and a driver has no incentive to take the fast line when every extra minute adds to the total. Our price is the same whether the D400 is clear or the Manavgat junction is busy.
The €60 is a starting price for the standard V-Class. If your group is larger, your luggage is heavy or you want the return leg booked at the same time, tell us at booking and we confirm the total up front. Payment is your choice: cash to the driver in euros, or card. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup means booking early costs you nothing if plans change.

The Route: Kundu to Alanya via the D400 Coast Road
The drive leaves the Kundu resort strip, joins the D400 coastal highway and heads east, staying south of the Taurus mountains with the sea on your right for much of the way. The road is a well-maintained dual carriageway for most of the distance, which is why 135 km comes in at around 130 minutes rather than the three hours the map length might suggest.
You pass the turn-offs for Side and its Roman theatre, cross the Manavgat river near the town famous for its waterfall, and continue through Okurcalar and Avsallar before the Alanya castle promontory rises ahead. The final stretch along Alanya's seafront is one of the prettier arrivals on the Turkish Riviera, with the fortress lit against the hillside after dark.
Your driver knows where the D400 slows: the Manavgat and Side junctions in summer, and the Alanya seafront on busy evenings. Because the price is fixed, there is no reason to sit in avoidable traffic. On this route the exact door-to-door time depends far more on your specific Kundu resort and Alanya hotel than on the highway itself.
Mercedes V-Class: Why the Business Van Suits This Long Transfer
For 135 km you are assigned a Mercedes V-Class, a business van built for exactly this kind of longer journey. It seats up to seven passengers in genuine comfort, with room to spread out rather than sit knee-to-knee, and a boot that swallows full-size suitcases without stacking bags on laps.
Two hours in a cramped saloon with hot air blowing is a poor start to an Alanya holiday. The V-Class gives you climate control that reaches the rear seats, tall doors that make loading easy, and a smooth ride on the D400 that lets you doze, take in the coast or keep children settled. It is the difference between arriving relaxed and arriving frazzled.
The van is the standard vehicle for this route, so the €60 start price already reflects business-van comfort — you are not paying a saloon fare and hoping for space. If you are a couple with light luggage and want a smaller car, ask at booking and we will quote the alternative.
| Feature | Mercedes V-Class |
|---|---|
| Passengers | Up to 7 |
| Large suitcases | Up to 7 |
| Class | Business van |
| Air-conditioning | Yes, reaches rear seats |
| Best for | Families, groups, long routes, extra luggage |
Meet & Greet and Live Flight Tracking
If you are combining this with an airport arrival, we track your flight live. When a plane lands early or sits on the taxiway, the pickup time moves with it — you are not charged for a delay outside your control, and the driver is there when you actually walk out, not when the timetable said you would.
For airport meets, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board, so there is no scanning a crowd or hunting for an unmarked car. For a hotel pickup in Kundu, the driver arrives at your resort lobby or the agreed meeting point at the confirmed time. Either way you get the driver's details in advance and a direct line if anything changes.
This matters most on a route that ends 135 km away. A missed or mistimed pickup on a long transfer costs real hours, so the meet-and-greet and tracking are not extras here — they are the reason the door-to-door trip runs on schedule.
Free Child Seats for the Kundu to Alanya Drive
Child seats are free — just tell us the ages at booking. On a 130-minute drive a properly fitted infant or booster seat is not a nicety, it is basic safety, and we would rather you arrive with the right seat installed than improvise on the day.
We carry infant carriers, toddler seats and booster cushions. Give us the number of children and their ages when you book, and the correct seats are in the V-Class before you get in. There is no per-seat charge added to the €60.
The van's space helps here too: with child seats fitted you still have room for the rest of the family and the luggage, which is not always true in a standard saloon carrying the same group.
Best Stops Between Kundu and Alanya: Side and Manavgat
Because the route runs straight past two of the coast's landmark sites, a Kundu to Alanya transfer can double as a scenic day if you want. The most natural stops are Side, roughly the halfway mark, and Manavgat a little further east.
Side is one of the best-preserved ancient towns on the Mediterranean, with a Roman theatre and the seafront Temple of Apollo whose columns frame the sunset. Manavgat is known for its waterfall on the river of the same name and for its riverside market. Both sit within a few minutes of the D400, so a stop adds time but little detour.
If you would like to break the drive at Side, Manavgat or another point, arrange it at booking so the driver plans the timing and the price is agreed in advance. A private transfer with a fixed price is far more flexible for this than a metered taxi, where every stopped minute would run up the fare.
- Side — Roman theatre and clifftop Temple of Apollo, about halfway
- Manavgat — river waterfall and riverside market, just east of Side
- Alanya Castle — hilltop fortress and Red Tower at the destination
- Cleopatra Beach — the long sandy bay below the castle headland
Arriving in Alanya: Castle, Cleopatra Beach and the Harbour
We drop you at your Alanya hotel door, or directly at a sight if you prefer. The headland is crowned by a huge Seljuk-era castle, and below it the golden crescent of Cleopatra Beach draws most of the summer crowds. The harbour, with its Red Tower and old shipyard, is the historic heart of the town.
Alanya's hotels spread along the beaches east and west of the castle, from the central seafront out to the resort strips. Wherever yours sits, the driver takes you to the correct entrance rather than a general drop-off, which after a 135 km drive with luggage is worth a great deal.
Tell us the exact hotel name and address at booking. Alanya is a large resort town and pinning the destination precisely keeps the arrival smooth and the timing honest.
How to Book Your Kundu to Alanya Transfer
Booking takes a few minutes. Give us your Kundu pickup (resort name or address), your Alanya destination hotel, the date and time, the number of passengers and any child seats. We confirm the V-Class and the fixed €60 total, plus the driver's details before the day.
Book early for the best certainty, especially in the July and August peak when demand is highest. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup means an early booking carries no risk if your plans shift. We operate 24/7, so early-morning and late-night transfers are covered at the same fixed price.
If you also need the return from Alanya back to Kundu or to Antalya Airport, book both legs together and we hold the same vehicle and driver standard for the round trip.
Kundu to Alanya vs Local Taxi: What You Actually Get
The honest comparison on a 135 km route is not about a few euros — it is about certainty. A metered local taxi gives you an unknown final fare, no flight tracking, no guaranteed child seats and no name board. A private transfer gives you a price agreed before you travel and a vehicle chosen for the distance.
Over this distance the fixed price is the headline advantage. A meter charges by distance and time, so heavy summer traffic at the Manavgat or Side junctions pushes the fare up precisely when you have least control over it. Our €60 does not move, whatever the road does.
Everything else follows from that: a Mercedes V-Class rather than whatever pulls up, free child seats, free 24-hour cancellation, cash or card, and a driver briefed on your specific pickup and drop-off. On the longest transfers, that is what a premium service is for.
| What matters | Our private transfer | Metered taxi |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Fixed €60, agreed at booking | Unknown until arrival |
| Traffic risk | Yours is fixed | You pay for every minute |
| Vehicle | Mercedes V-Class guaranteed | Whatever is available |
| Flight tracking | Yes | No |
| Name board meet | Yes | No |
| Child seats | Free | Rarely available |
