Like everyone else we are having big problems finding Winter flights. We have found a cheap one coming back from Manchester but it lands at Antalya airport at 22.20 in November. Is there a night service coach or bus from Antalya to Fethiye at that time of night. Dont want to get a cheap flight then pay 130 quid in taxis to Fethiye. Unless someone wants to share?

We travelled very late on a bus from Antalya when we landed one winter. The bus only had about ten people on it in total and thankfully had a very good heater. The Turkish men all sat at the front chatting with the driver and we stopped once for a break at a cafe.The snow had fallen and the scenery was like a Christmas card with snow on the pine trees and a huge moon. I do not know the exact times but the buses do run from Antalya very regularly even late at night.Perhaps someone would know the arrival times from Antalya at Fethiye Otogar which would be a help.

This may help but not sure.This is the coastal route timetable.We had a bus that went over the mountains and did not make many stops.

The last small bus from Antalya leaves at 21.30hrs.
There is a Pamakkale bus which departs at 23.30hrs which is probably no good for you either.
You will need to check but I think that there is not another bus to Fethiye until the AkDeniz bus which departs at about 06.00hrs.
The first small bus departs at 07.00hrs

There's also a good chance of there being snow on the D350 over the mountains in November.
Despite the inconvenience, I think you'd be better of flying into Dalaman via Istanbul if you can't get a direct flight.
(KLM are offering Istanbul from Manchester via Amsterdam at £94)
