Mahmutlar Airport Transfer
Russian-speaking quarter east of Alanya.
About Mahmutlar
Mahmutlar is the long beachfront strip east of Alanya — 148 km from Antalya Airport but only 35 km from Gazipaşa. Permanent expat community, sea-view apartment towers and the Russian-language Tuesday market.
Laid-back, lived-in and international. Mahmutlar feels less like a packaged resort and more like a sun-soaked seaside town where expats and Turkish families share the same promenade, market and tea gardens. Days move slowly between the beach, the pool and the cafe; evenings centre on long, affordable dinners and walks along the water. It is unpretentious, multilingual and friendly, with enough modern comforts to feel easy but enough local life to feel real.

Mahmutlar transfer · frequently asked
Quick answers about transfers, distance and what to expect on arrival.
How far is Mahmutlar from Gazipasa Airport (GZP)?
Mahmutlar is about 32 km from Gazipasa-Alanya Airport, a private transfer of roughly 35 minutes along the coastal road. GZP is the closest and most convenient airport for the town, so if your flight allows, it is the easiest way in and out.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Mahmutlar?
Antalya Airport is roughly 135-150 km west of Mahmutlar, which means a drive of about 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic. Many visitors still fly into AYT because it has more routes; a private transfer is the most comfortable option for a journey of that length, especially with luggage or children.
Is it better to fly into Gazipasa or Antalya for Mahmutlar?
For convenience, Gazipasa (GZP) wins easily, as it is only around 35 minutes away. Antalya (AYT) typically offers more flights and cheaper fares but adds a 2 to 2.5 hour transfer. Compare your flight price and time against the longer drive, and book a private transfer either way so a driver is waiting regardless of which airport you choose.
How do I get from Mahmutlar to Alanya centre?
Alanya's centre is only about 10-12 km west. Dolmus minibuses run frequently along the main coastal road for a few lira, taxis are inexpensive for the short hop, and a private transfer or rental car is handy if you are carrying shopping or want to continue to the castle and harbour.
Is Mahmutlar a good base for a holiday in Alanya?
Yes, particularly if you want value, a local feel and a long stay. It offers modern apartments, excellent affordable dining, a long beach promenade and a big international community, while staying calmer than central Alanya. It is also well placed for inland trips to the Dim valley and Sapadere. The main trade-offs are a partly pebble beach and fewer large all-inclusive resorts than the western strips.
