There are many alternatives you can prefer such as HAVAŞ shuttle buses, airport or city taxis and car rental services, which will take a maximum of 1 hour to reach Gazipaşa Airport from Alanya center.
HAVAŞ Shuttle Buses
HAVAŞ shuttle buses are the easiest way to go directly to Gazipaşa Airport that is located in Alanya center. HAVAŞ shuttle services are arranged at certain hours of the day from Alanya Bus Terminal. The shuttle service departing from Alanya Bus Terminal passes through Tosmur Municipality and picks the airport passengers up at the stops on a route consisting of Kargıcak Dinler Otel, Tosmur Kavşağı, Metro Kavşağı, Tespo Önü, Ticaret Odası Önü and Mahmutlar Belediye Kavşağı and arrives at Gazipaşa Airport.
HAVAŞ shuttle buses, which serve 7 day a week, reach the airport in 60 minutes and the fare you need to pay for shuttle service is 17TL according to 2016 tariff. You can pay the fare to the HAVAŞ bus assistant when you board the bus.
Taxi
If you prefer to take a taxi to get to Gazipaşa Airport quickly from Alanya city center, you will probably get a city taxi. The city taxi drivers may sometimes claim high amounts of money from the tourists. For this reason, you can prefer the airport taxi services provided by the Gazipaşa Airport Taxi Drivers' Cooperative in order to avoid this confusion.
The taxi fare to reach Gazipaşa Airport by an airport taxi is 120TL based on the fixed price tariff. However, you can hardly get an airport taxi in the city. For this reason, it is a good idea to get detailed information from the cooperative's website (www.gazipasahavalimanitaxi.com). In addition, the airport taxi service is offered at the same fare 24 hours a day.
Rent a car
Compared to Gazipaşa Airport, there are many car rental companies in Alanya city center and in Antalya. When you are in Alanya city center, it would be quite convenient to get information about the car rental services provided by Rent Go (+902425827399), Garenta Rent a Car (4445478) and Aytucar (+902422470377) companies both at the airport and in the city center and to choose from these companies. It takes about 1 hour from Alanya city center to Gazipaşa Airport by car.
Airport Information
Gazipaşa Airport, also known as Alanya Gazipaşa, is 40 kilometers away from Alanya. Gazipaşa Airport, which is an international airport, also hosts the famous ATU duty free store. In addition, there are the places where you can eat snacks at the airport and they are the Canteen Cafe Bar and the Canteen Buffet run by the BTA Company.

Tirana, giving a grasp of Ottoman culture to its visitors by the mosque and Turkish bath from the 17th century, is the capital of Albania. Tirana has a small surface area, and a low population ratio. Passengers wanting to visit Tirana use the transportation to the city from Tirana International Airport.
The transportation service provided by public transport in Tirana is very weak. As of 2013, the train line that runs along the coastline of the city has been closed. There is no public transport means except for the bus. Train services are only used for transportation to neighboring cities.
A tourist information office is located in the Rruga Ded Gjo Luli district, north of Skanderbeg Square, known as the city center of Tirana, to make it easier for visitors to use public transport within the city. We recommend that you visit this office. Office staff speaks English, telling you in detail what you need to do through the maps to make your transportation easier. If you do not want to use public transport, it would ease your trip to take a taxi or rent a car.
Other than that, you can also explore the city center on foot. However, as there is often construction going on in the city square, your journey can be halved. In some parts of the city bicycle rental points are located. With the bike you can rent from here you can have a more enjoyable trip.
Options for public transport from Tirana International Airport to the city are quite limited. It will be much easier to get to your destination by renting a car or taking a taxi.
There are buses named Rinas Express which takes you to the Rruga Durres area, a few minutes' walk from Skanderbeg Square. After passing through the exit gates of the airport, you can follow the car park area and find the bus departure point behind the taxi stops. These buses operate between 6 am and 6 pm, with hourly intervals. Moreover, buses are the only means of public transport in the city. The times of departure change frequently, so it is worth checking before you take the bus. Apart from Rinas Express, there is no other bus departing from the airport. So if you are thinking of going to another part of the city, you have to use other bus lines passing through the city center.
Train lines that no longer serve in urban transport are used only for intercity transport, although limited. Using these lines you can travel to Durres, Shkodra, Elbasan Vlore and Librazhd.
It is possible to easily find a taxi from the taxi stop right outside the airport. In addition, there are two taxi stops serving the city transport: MerrTaxi, SpeedTaxi. For our passengers who want to use taxi, we recommend these two. Pirate taxis are often found in the city, but their fees may be higher than the normal taxis. You can come across those who do not use taximeters among these pirate taxis. We recommend you to be careful in this regard for a more comfortable transport.
Car rental is a less preferred alternative to taking a taxi. There are many vehicles in many parts of the city. It is therefore possible to have difficulty parking your vehicle. Also, the asphalt is not well laid out on the road. Driving can also be very challenging because traffic signs are not very well prepared.
