Antalya Airport Side Transfer — Ancient City & Hotel Private Transfer

AYT taxi to Side runs €80-130 by meter plus €15-20 toll, and weekend/night surge can push it to €150+. Merry Tourism's AYT → Side transfer is fixed €45 Sedan or €70 V-Class — name-sign meet, free 60-min wait, no surge, no toll add-on. For families savings are €35-80; for 4-7 pax the V-Class is €60-100 cheaper than two taxis and avoids the well-documented AYT curb-taxi over-quoting issue.

Side's ultra-all-inclusive resorts (Side Star Elegance, TUI Magic Life, Kamelya Selin, Sherwood Side, Selectum Family) do not run free individual AYT shuttles — only tour-operator block transfers (TUI/Anex Tour) with 90-180 minute curb waits. A Merry Tourism private transfer departs immediately, 50-65 min door-to-door, €45 for 1-3 pax — predictable for families with small kids.

Yes — every Side transfer includes live flight tracking and 60 minutes of free post-landing wait. Our dispatcher checks AYT ATC every 5 minutes; a 2-6 hour delay triggers automatic chauffeur reschedule at no charge. Post 60-min in-terminal wait, optional €15/hour overtime applies only if customs/baggage genuinely delays you. Particularly useful for late-night TUI charter flights.

Yes — baby seat (0-13 kg), child seat (9-18 kg), and booster (15-36 kg) are free for any AYT → Side transfer. ECE R44/R129 certified Maxi-Cosi / Britax Römer seats, disinfected before each use. Mention age + weight in the reservation; the seat is pre-installed when the chauffeur greets you at AYT. Up to 2 child seats per vehicle free — perfect for Side's family-resort demographic.

The cheapest Side transfer is the Mercedes E-Class Sedan at fixed €45 (1-3 passengers, 2 suitcases). For 4-6 passengers the V-Class at €70 is cheaper per person than two Sedans, and the kids' seat installation is free. Avoid AYT curb-taxi haggling — 2026 AYT data shows 38% of curb taxis over-quote tourists 50-90%, plus toll and luggage are commonly added without notice.

Yes — round-trip (AYT → Side resort + return 7 days later) is 10% cheaper than two one-ways and assigns the same chauffeur on request. Return pickup auto-calculated (international 3h, domestic 2h pre-flight). Round-trip works for both 1-week TUI charter packages and shorter stays; we hold the same chauffeur slot for resort families wanting consistency.

Yes — one 20-min supermarket stop is free on AYT → Side (popular: Migros Antalya, CarrefourSA, or BIM Side near the resort area). For 4-7 passengers V-Class shopping trolleys + bags fit cleanly. Extra stops €5 each (max 20 min). For families stocking baby supplies, mention the stop in the reservation — chauffeur routes via D400 east accordingly.

Yes — Mercedes Vito with rear-ramp wheelchair-access conversion is €95 AYT → Side (chair stays unfolded throughout, 1 companion + 1 suitcase). 24h pre-notice required. Chauffeur is trained for boarding assistance, harness security, and resort-lobby drop-off. Many Side resorts (Sherwood, Crystal Family, Selectum) have ramp-accessible front entrances coordinated in advance.

After AYT customs, walk through baggage claim to the international or domestic arrivals hall. Your Merry Tourism chauffeur stands at the marked meeting point (Terminal 1 or 2) holding a printed A4 sign with your full name in capitals. Cannot find within 5 minutes? WhatsApp +90 544 898 98 12 — dispatcher will direct you to the chauffeur in real time. Family luggage is loaded curbside; no porter fee.

Yes — Merry Tourism accepts EUR (preferred), TRY, USD, GBP at the daily TCMB rate. Online: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, PayPal in EUR. Cash on arrival in all four currencies. The booking confirms the EUR price; FX swings between booking and arrival do not change what you owe. No card-processing surcharge. Convenient for British and Dutch families heading to TUI Magic Life or Kamelya Selin.

Merry Tourism is 24/7 with no night surcharge for AYT → Side. Flights landing 01:00-06:00 are met at the same fixed €45 Sedan / €70 V-Class; chauffeur waits as long as baggage takes. Late-night "silent transfer" (minimal driver conversation, ambient lighting, climate set to preference) is available — note it in the reservation. Side resort check-in desks operate 24/7; night entry coordinated with concierge.

Yes — for 15-16 passengers a single Mercedes Sprinter VIP (€170) is the cost-efficient option; for 17-30 we coordinate a Sprinter + V-Class tandem (€240). For 30+ (school groups, charter packages, conference delegations) we run multi-Sprinter convoys with a Merry dispatcher on the ground. Each vehicle carries 8 large suitcases + carry-on. Book 5-7 days ahead for the May-October peak.
