The airport welcomes every year more than 25 million passengers with flight connections to hundreds of international cities. Therefore, it is very easy to reach Antalya in summer season between April and October directly from Europe, Russia and Middle East.

International Airlines like Lufthansa, Aeroflot and easyJet are operating regular flights to Antalya.

Alanya-Gazipasa GZP is the second airport in Antalya province. It is located 160 km to the east from Antalya in Gazipasa district.

The airport is small in comparison with Antalya and hosts only 1,5 million passengers every year.

The airport is located 40 km to the east of the popular beach resort town Alanya, therefore the name Alanya-Gazipasa.

The airport is a viable option to go to resort towns between Side and Alanya. The other resort towns to the west of Alanya-Gazipasa are closer to Antalya AYT airport.

Flights to Alanya-Gazipasa GZP are usually a little cheaper than to Antalya AYT, because you have to change the plane.

  • Connections: There is a limited amount of direct flights to Alanya-Gazipasa from international destinations, even in summer. Therefore, you have to change the plane usually in Istanbul or Ankara to fly to Alanya-Gazipasa GZP.
  • Terminal: The advantage of Alanya-Gazipasa is the size of the airport. Usually you can leave the small national and international terminal after landing 10 to 15 minute later. The disadvantage is the small number of direct lights as already mentioned. There are only small shops in the terminal.
  • Public Transport: The airport transfer options are limited at Alanya-Gazipasa, but there are direct busses to Alanya. For other destinations, like Konakli, Avsallar and Side we recommend an airport transfer. from Alanya-Gazipasa GZP

Antalya Travel Guide

Once seen only as the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya is today a destination in itself. Located right on the Bay of Antalya (Antalya Körfezi), the largest city on Turkey’s western Mediterranean coastline, it is both classically beautiful and stylishly modern.

At its core is the wonderfully preserved old town district of Kaleici (literally ‘within the castle’), which offers atmospheric accommodation in finely restored Ottoman houses in its winding lanes. The old town surrounds a magnificent Roman port with cliff-top views of misty blue mountain skylines worth toasting.
