Barut Hemera Resort & Spa

Barut Hemera Resort & Spa sits on the Kumkoy shoreline north of Side, a five-star all-inclusive built directly on the sand. From Antalya Airport the drive runs about 52 minutes along the D-400 through Manavgat.

Arrive without a pre-booked ride and it usually means a taxi meter that only starts once you're moving, a shared shuttle van looping through half a dozen hotels along the Side strip before reaching Barut Hemera's gate, or a rental car steered into unfamiliar roundabouts straight off the flight.

City Transfer Turkey settles the price before you board, tracks the flight, and has a driver at arrivals with a sign bearing your name, no detour through anyone else's hotel, just a direct run to Barut Hemera's front door. What tips the balance is a fixed fare agreed days in advance, no surprise cash negotiation after a delayed landing. Couples usually take the sedan; families or golf groups heading to Barut Hemera ride in the VIP minivan, both driven by a licensed professional.

For a Side airport transfer to this resort, the extra minutes matter less with a driver who already knows the Kumkoy turn-off. Private transfer bookings through City Transfer Turkey cover the trip as one Antalya airport transfer, door to door, which is what an organized Antalya transfer should be.
