No Need for Flights or Ferries Here

Unlike longer distances in Turkey, where flights can save you a 19-hour overnight journey, for Antalya to Kaş, the coach is the fastest, most convenient, and most economical option. There are no direct flights or ferries that would make sense for this specific short coastal hop.

💡
Arrive Early at the Otogar

Even for a short journey, arriving at the Antalya Otogar (bus terminal) about 20-30 minutes before your scheduled departure is a good practice. This gives you ample time to locate your bus, store your luggage, and find your seat without rushing.
