Alanya Accessibility
Alanya is located in the Antalya province of southern Turkey, and sits approximately 133km east of the city of Antalya. Until 2012 Alanya was served by Antalya international airport and had a lengthy transfer time of around 2 hours, however, in 2012 Alanya was lucky enough to gain a new airport in the Gazipasa area, thankfully reducing airport transfer times down to just 30 minutes with flights from many European countries.
This new airport in Gazipasa has given Alanya’s large number of international and Turkish tourism trade a huge boost due to the shortened transfer time, which was often off putting to travellers.
