Flights

Edinburgh airport has direct connections to many European destinations and more can be reached with a change of aircraft in Istanbul.  From Antalya the drive to Belek will take less than an hour as the airport is to the East of town and the road is a decent dual carriageway.

Hover on a logo to see the available routes, clicking the logo below will take you directly to the airline's website to book your flights.

Hire cars

Probably the most flexible way to get around during your visit.  Both airports offer the full range of hire-car companies: Avis, Hertz, Budget, Europcar, Sixt et cetera, whose contact details are shown opposite (if you have not already been offered a hire-car by your airline when you booked your flights!).

Chauffeur driven cars, minibuses and coaches

Local Agencies

If you would prefer to leave the driving to somebody else then there are a number of local travel agents who will take care of all you transfer arrangements.

We have heard good things about Laura Golf.  The others mentioned are a bit of an unknown quantity, so please leave a comment if you have experience of their services.

Credit card payments is the surest way to pay and will allow you to reclaim your money should you run into any trouble with a local agent going into liquidation or failing to deliver their promised services.
