Our Honest Recommendation
Over 125 km, tiredness after the flight is what decides; for Alanya a private transfer is the easiest choice with luggage, on a night arrival or on a first visit. The shared option needs 60 min more on the same road. If you travel light, arrive in daylight and want to save, the public option still works.

Avoid unmarked drivers at the arrivals hall, free hotel transfer offers from strangers, and any taxi that refuses to use the meter or claims their meter is broken. The official taxi rank is outside the international arrivals terminal — not inside.
