Title: Antalya to calis beach
Post by: paul211b on August 10, 2009, 11:04:00 AM: Hello to all,

Just returned from a great holiday staying at the Pelin Hotel in Calis. flights where expensive to Dalaman but I notice they can be got about £100 cheaper if I fly to Antalya.

Please can someone tell me how far this is? Also how much a shuttle bus would be.

Thanks
Paul

Buses from Antalya Otogar to Fethiye Otogar run between about 7am and Midnight and the fare is between 20 and 25 TL per person. The journey time is 3 and a half to 4 hours.

If you're arriving on a night-flight there's a pretty good chance that you'll miss the last bus out of Antalya and will be at least a couple of hours too early for the first bus. Mind you, the benches at the Otogar are reasonably comfortable to sleep on. :D

Thanks again.

Main problem is that the shorter route is over mountains & there are no motorways ;) The long route is along the coast on a road not disimilar to the Amalfi coast in Italy
