Our Verdict
Choose based on your hotel location, not flight price alone. If your hotel is in Alanya, Mahmutlar, or Avsallar (eastern Antalya region), Gazipaşa (GZP) saves you 75-130 km of transfer distance and €20-50 in transfer cost — even if the flight is slightly more expensive, the total cost favors GZP. For everywhere else (Antalya city, Lara, Kemer, Belek, Side), AYT is the better choice. Compare total trip cost (flight + transfer), not flight price alone.
