Antalya Airport to Üçağız private transfer

Üçağız is a small fishing village in the Kaş district of Antalya province, and it's unlike most other stops on this coast. Walk through the village and you'll find Lycian sarcophagi standing between the houses - the remains of ancient Teimiussa are scattered right through the settlement, not tucked away behind a fence. The bay in front of the village looks out toward Kekova Island, and that view alone tells you why people come here: this is a place built around water, boats, and old stone, not resort strips. For us, bringing guests here never gets old - it's history and nature in the same short drive.

The main reason travelers make the trip to Üçağız is Kekova. Small wooden boats leave from the village jetty for half-day tours around the island, and the highlight is almost always the Sunken City (Batık Şehir) - the remains of an ancient settlement that slipped into the sea after an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. Through clear, shallow water you can make out staircases, wall foundations, and the outlines of old buildings; swimming directly over the ruins isn't allowed, but boats pass slowly enough to see everything. Most tours run 3-4 hours and combine the Sunken City with a stop at Kaleköy.

Kaleköy, ancient Simena, is the postcard stop of the whole area. A short, steep climb takes you to a small medieval castle with a tiny amphitheater carved into the hillside, and the view over the bay from the top is one of the best on this coast. Down at the waterline, half-submerged Lycian sarcophagi rise out of the sea - it's the single most photographed scene in the region. There's a narrow road to Kaleköy as well as the boat route, so if you'd rather skip the sea crossing, we can get you there by taxi on request.

A taxi from Üçağız gets you to Kaş, the liveliest town on this stretch of coast, in about 20-25 minutes - good diving centers, a busy little harbour, and plenty of boutique shops. Head the other direction and Demre is roughly 30-40 minutes away, home to the Church of St Nicholas, the historical Santa Claus, and the rock-cut tombs of ancient Myra. Most Kekova boat tours also pass Tersane Island, where the ruins of a Byzantine-era shipyard sit quietly above the water - a small but genuinely interesting stop. With extra time, Patara's long sandy beach and ancient ruins make an easy further day trip.

We've been working this stretch of coast for years, so we know almost every guesthouse in Üçağız by name. We regularly bring guests to Hoyran Wedre, the sea-view Likya Yolu Palas Hotel, and the quiet Ali's House near the village entrance. Travelers who like historic character often choose Castle Pansiyon or the stone-built Istlada Taş Ev Apart, and for something small and personal we suggest ŞIIR EV. Wherever you're staying, just send us the address and phone number and we'll bring the car right to the door.

Üçağız sits roughly 115 km from Antalya Airport, and the drive takes around 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic and season, past olive groves, small coastal towns, and long sea views. Our driver waits for you at the terminal with a meet & greet, helps with your bags, and takes you straight to your hotel door. The fare is fixed in advance at a fixed fare confirmed at booking, with no surprise add-ons, including for flights that land late at night.

Üçağız itself is small enough to walk, but for trips out to Kaş, Demre, Patara, or Kalkan we run a local taxi service too - a morning tour, an evening pickup, or a full day hired out, whatever suits your plans. As a family-run company you'll usually deal with the same driver each time, someone who knows this coastline from years of actually driving it, not from a map app.

April through November is the main season for Kekova boat trips. July and August bring the warmest water but also the busiest boats; May-June and September-October are quieter, the sea is still warm enough to swim, and prices ease off a little. Winters are very quiet in the village, but our transfer service runs all year round.
