Gazipasa Airport (GZP) Transfers and Airport-to-Airport Transport
Demand for Gazipasa Airport transfers has grown as GZP has developed into the second airport serving the Alanya region. For travellers heading to Alanya it is by far the closer option: GZP to Alanya is around 40 km, while Antalya Airport to Alanya is 125 km.
This guide covers transfer distances from Gazipasa, transport between the two airports, and what can be done when a connecting flight is missed.
Choosing the right airport can save two hours of transfer time.
Distances and times from Gazipasa
| Area | Approx. distance | Average time |
|---|---|---|
| Gazipasa centre | 10 km | 10–15 min |
| Alanya centre | 40 km | 40–50 min |
| Mahmutlar | 28 km | 30–35 min |
| Kargıcak | 25 km | 25–30 min |
| Avsallar / İncekum | 65 km | 60–70 min |
| Side / Manavgat | 105 km | 95–110 min |
| Antalya centre | 180 km | ~2 h 30 min |
The striking point in the table is this: if you are staying east of Alanya, in Mahmutlar or Kargıcak, landing at Gazipasa saves roughly two hours over Antalya Airport. West of Side, however, Antalya Airport remains the better choice.
Transport between Antalya (AYT) and Gazipasa (GZP)
The two airports are around 180 km apart, a drive of about two and a half hours in normal conditions. This transfer is usually needed in three situations:
- Arriving and departing from different airports. Landing at AYT and flying home from GZP, or the reverse, is a common combination.
- A missed connection. When a flight missed at one airport has to be replaced by a departure from the other.
- Cancelled flights. Outside the season GZP runs fewer services, so passengers are sometimes rerouted through AYT.
Timing is critical on these journeys. Once you give us your flight time, we work backwards from when you need to be at the terminal and add a traffic margin to the two-and-a-half-hour drive.
Which airport should you fly into?
- Alanya and east (Mahmutlar, Kargıcak, Gazipasa): GZP is clearly closer.
- Avsallar, İncekum, Okurcalar: both airports are a similar distance, so flight times and fares decide it.
- Side, Manavgat, Belek and west: AYT has the advantage.
- Winter months: GZP runs noticeably fewer services, so flight options are usually via AYT.
When deciding, look at transfer time as well as ticket price. For a traveller heading east of Alanya, the extra two hours on the road from AYT usually cancels out any saving on the fare.
