Kundu to Antalya Airport: the complete transfer guide
Kundu to Antalya Airport (AYT): The Shortest Major Transfer on the Coast — 13 km in 18 Minutes
Kundu sits just 13 km east of Antalya Airport, and the drive takes about 18 minutes on a clear road. That makes it the shortest major transfer run on the entire Antalya coast — shorter than Lara town, far shorter than Belek (35 km), Side (65 km), or Alanya (125 km). If your hotel is one of the themed mega-resorts in Kundu, you are closer to the terminal than almost any other guest in the region.
Short does not mean careless. A 6 a.m. flight from a sprawling resort like Kremlin Palace or Titanic still needs a driver who knows exactly which gate to reach, where to wait, and how long it takes to load a family with suitcases. The 18-minute figure is the moving time; the real schedule starts at your hotel lobby door.
Our price for this run starts at €20 — a fixed fare agreed when you book, with no meter and no surge. It is one of the cheapest transfers on the coast precisely because the distance is so short, and the price you see at booking is the price you pay at the door, whether you settle in cash or by card.
Distance, Duration and Price at a Glance — Kundu vs Other Antalya Resorts
The table below puts the Kundu run in context. Every figure for Kundu is exact: 13 km, 18 minutes, from €20. The comparison resorts show why a Kundu transfer is the easiest airport hop on the coast — you are essentially next door to the runway.
Because the distance is fixed and short, the price barely moves with traffic. There is no meter ticking while you sit at a light, and no late-night or holiday surcharge invented on the spot. One fixed price, agreed in advance.

Knowing Every Kundu Resort Gate: Kremlin Palace, Titanic, WOW, Rixos and The Land of Legends
Kundu is a strip of themed mega-resorts, and that is exactly why a knowledgeable driver matters even on a 13 km hop. These are not small hotels with a single front door — they are walled complexes with security barriers, long internal driveways, and more than one entrance. Tell us your exact resort at booking and your driver arrives at the correct gate, not the staff entrance or a side road.
The landmark resorts along this strip include Kremlin Palace (with its Saint Basil's-style towers), the ship-shaped Titanic Beach Lara, WOW Topkapi Palace and WOW Kremlin Palace, the Rixos properties, and Concorde De Luxe. The Land of Legends theme park and its bridge-mall sit at the heart of the area, and many guests stay specifically to be near it.
For a departure, the pickup point is normally the main lobby entrance where bell staff handle luggage. If your resort has a separate group-transfer or coach gate, we will use the car gate instead so you are not walking your suitcases across the complex. When you book, the more precise the resort name and any block or villa number, the smoother the meeting.
- Kremlin Palace — distinctive towers, large lobby forecourt for car pickup
- Titanic Beach Lara — ship-shaped facade, main entrance drop-off
- WOW Topkapi Palace / WOW Kremlin Palace — adjacent complexes, confirm which one
- Rixos and Concorde De Luxe — gated drives, lobby pickup
- The Land of Legends — theme park and bridge-mall, a key Kundu landmark
Pickup Timing for the Airport: Why Even an 18-Minute Hop Needs a Buffer
The drive is 18 minutes, but your pickup time is built backwards from your flight, not from the road. The standard guidance for international departures from Antalya is to be at the terminal three hours before take-off; for domestic flights, two hours. Working back from that, and adding time to load luggage and clear the resort's internal road, gives your lobby pickup time.
For most Kundu guests on an international flight, that means a pickup roughly 3 hours 30 minutes before departure: about 18 minutes driving, a few minutes to leave the resort grounds, and a comfortable margin for the airport's check-in and security queues, which can be long in peak summer season.
We confirm the exact pickup time with you rather than leaving it to guesswork. If you would rather build in extra margin — travelling with small children, a large group, or simply a nervous flyer — tell us and we will set the pickup earlier. The transfer is yours; the car waits for you, not the other way around.
| Flight type | Be at terminal | Suggested Kundu pickup before departure |
|---|---|---|
| International | 3 hours before | ≈ 3 h 30 min |
| Domestic | 2 hours before | ≈ 2 h 30 min |
| Early morning (06:00–08:00) | 3 hours before | ≈ 3 h 30 min (book the night before) |
Early-Morning and Pre-Dawn Departures from Kundu
Antalya Airport runs a heavy schedule of early-morning departures, and many charter and budget flights leave between 6 and 8 a.m. A 6 a.m. international flight means being at the terminal by 3 a.m. and, working back, a Kundu pickup around 2:30 a.m. At that hour the Lara coastal road is empty and the 13 km can run even faster than 18 minutes — but you still want a driver who is awake, on time, and already outside your lobby.
This is where pre-booking with a fixed price matters most. There are no taxis idling outside a resort at 2:30 a.m., and certainly none at an agreed fare. We assign your driver in advance, the car is confirmed the night before, and the €20 price is locked regardless of the unsociable hour — no night surcharge, no surge.
If you have an early flight, book the transfer before you go to bed and keep our contact details on your phone. Resort night staff can point your driver to the lobby, and we will wait. A short run at dawn is the easiest transfer of all when it is arranged properly in advance.
The Lara Coastal Road: What the 13 km Actually Looks Like
The route from Kundu to the airport runs inland from the resort strip and joins the main airport approach. For most of the year it is a quick, uncomplicated drive on good dual roads, which is why 13 km translates into roughly 18 minutes. There are no mountain passes, no winding sections, and no toll booths on this short hop.
The one variable is daytime city traffic. Mid-morning and late-afternoon, the roads feeding the airport and the eastern edge of Antalya can slow, especially in high season. That is why we build the pickup time around your flight rather than the optimistic best-case drive — the buffer absorbs any congestion without you ever feeling rushed.
On the way out, many guests get a last glimpse of the Lara Beach area before turning toward the terminal. It is a calm, short, scenic end to a Kundu holiday rather than a long haul — one of the quiet advantages of staying on this strip.
The Vehicle: Mercedes Vito and V-Class for the Airport Run
Every Kundu airport transfer is operated in a Mercedes Vito or V-Class. These are full-size vans, not compact saloons, which matters at the end of a holiday when the suitcases are heavier than they were on arrival and the family has accumulated extra bags. There is genuine room for luggage and for everyone to sit comfortably for the short ride.
The Vito and V-Class seat groups of up to seven or eight passengers with luggage, with air conditioning, high clean interiors, and easy step-in height that suits older travellers and families with strollers. For a couple it is generous; for a family or small group it is exactly the right size.
Because the vehicle is a private transfer and not a shared shuttle, you go straight from your Kundu lobby to the terminal with no other stops. The whole point of the short run is that it stays short — door to door, your group only.
- Mercedes Vito / V-Class — full-size van, not a small car
- Up to 7–8 passengers with luggage
- Air conditioning, clean interior, easy step-in for families and seniors
- Private and direct — no shared stops, no detours
The Fixed €20 Price: One of the Cheapest Transfers on the Coast
The fare for Kundu to Antalya Airport starts at €20, fixed and agreed at the moment you book. Because the distance is only 13 km, this is among the cheapest transfers anywhere on the Antalya coast — you are paying for one of the shortest runs in the region, in a full Mercedes van, with a named driver.
Fixed means fixed. There is no meter, so there is nothing to climb while you sit at a traffic light. There is no surge pricing at busy times, no night surcharge for a 3 a.m. departure, and no surprise additions when you arrive at the terminal. The number you agree at booking is the number you pay.
You can settle in cash or by card, whichever suits you. There is no obligation to carry exact change or local currency, and no pressure to pay before you travel — the price is simply confirmed in advance so there is never a negotiation at the kerb.
Booking Your Departure: Lock In the Time and the Price
For an airport departure from Kundu, booking ahead does two things: it guarantees a car is waiting at your chosen pickup time, and it locks the €20 fixed price. You tell us your resort, your flight time, and how many passengers and bags; we confirm the exact lobby pickup time and the vehicle.
Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before your transfer, so there is no risk in booking early. If your plans shift — a changed flight, an extra night, a different resort — adjust the booking and the price holds. Booking days or weeks ahead costs nothing extra and removes the single biggest stress of departure day.
Provide a phone number you will have with you on the morning of travel. We are reachable 24/7, so if anything changes at the last minute — you are running early, the resort moved your room, your group grew by one — a quick message keeps everything on track.
Families, Free Child Seats and Travelling with Kids from Kundu
Kundu's themed resorts and The Land of Legends draw a lot of families, and a departure with small children is the moment a proper transfer earns its keep. We provide child seats free of charge — infant seats and boosters — so you are not wrestling with airline car-seat policies or risking an unsuitable ride to the airport.
Tell us the ages of the children at booking and we fit the right seats before the car arrives, already installed in the Vito or V-Class. The van's easy step-in height and interior space mean loading a stroller, a child, and the luggage is straightforward even when everyone is tired at the end of a holiday.
For a 6 a.m. flight with toddlers, the combination of a fixed pickup time, a waiting driver, free correctly-fitted child seats, and an 18-minute run is about as low-stress as airport mornings get. The short distance is a real gift to families — the children are barely in the car before you are at the terminal.
Late-Night and Red-Eye Transfers: Meet & Greet and Live Flight Tracking
Kundu's airport runs late as well as early. For arrivals as much as departures, we track flights live, so if your inbound flight to AYT is delayed, your driver knows and adjusts — there is no penalty for a late landing and no driver leaving without you. For an arriving guest, the driver is waiting in the terminal with a name board, ready to lead you to the car for the short 13 km hop to your resort.
Meet and greet with a name board removes the usual arrivals confusion — you walk out of customs, find your name, and go straight to a waiting Mercedes rather than hunting for a taxi rank at midnight. For a departure, the same reliability applies in reverse: the car is at your lobby at the confirmed time, day or night.
We operate 24/7, which for the busy Antalya night schedule is not a slogan but a necessity. Whether your flight is the first out at dawn or the last in near midnight, the transfer is arranged, the price is fixed, and someone is awake to make it happen.
- Live flight tracking — delays handled automatically, no extra charge
- Meet & greet with a name board for arrivals
- 24/7 operation for the full Antalya night schedule
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel
