How to Get from Türkler & Konaklı to Alanya Centre

Getting from Türkler or Konaklı into Alanya centre is easy and cheap. The two beach resorts sit around 20–25 km west of Alanya along the coast road, and you've got three options: the dolmuş (shared minibus — the cheapest, at roughly ₺35–50 per person), a taxi (quicker and door-to-door, but more), or a pre-booked transfer. For most day trips into town, the dolmuş is all you need.

By dolmuş (the easy, cheap way)

The coastal dolmuş runs frequently between the resorts and Alanya centre — roughly every 20–30 minutes from early morning until late at night, with more services in summer. You don't need a stop or a ticket: stand at the roadside facing your direction of travel, wave one down, and pay the driver in cash once aboard.

• Cost: around ₺35–50 per person, cash only, in Turkish lira.
• Time: roughly 30–40 minutes into central Alanya, depending on traffic and how many stops it makes.
• Where it drops you: the main dolmuş area in Alanya is near the Grand Bazaar, handy for the centre, the harbour and the castle hill.

New to the dolmuş? Our full guide covers exactly how to flag one, pay and tell the driver to stop: how the dolmuş works in Alanya.

By taxi

A taxi is the quickest, most comfortable option — door-to-door, no waiting, no stops — and makes sense when you're in a group, loaded with shopping, or heading out in the evening. It costs more than the dolmuş, but split between a few people it's very reasonable.

To avoid any fare confusion, use a taxi app like BiTaksi, which shows the price upfront, or agree the fare with the driver before you set off if you hail one on the street. For more, see taxi prices in Alanya and is there Uber in Alanya?

By pre-booked transfer

If you'd rather not think about it — especially for a specific outing or with a group — a pre-booked transfer gives you a fixed price and a driver who turns up when you want. It's the most hassle-free option for door-to-door travel. We can arrange this for you; see our transfer service.

Which should you choose?

• Solo or a couple, daytime, relaxed: the dolmuş — cheap, frequent, easy.
• Group, shopping, or evening out: a taxi — quicker and split-cost friendly.
• Fixed plan or want zero hassle: a pre-booked transfer.

A note on timing

Dolmuş services thin out late at night, so if you're heading back from Alanya after dinner or a night out, check that they're still running or plan to grab a taxi for the return leg. In peak summer the coast road can get busy, so allow a little extra time either way.
