Your Journey — Step by Step

~4h from UK · ~3.5h from Germany · ~3.5h from Netherlands
2
Collect your luggage — golf bags handled separately
Golf bags travel in the aircraft hold as oversized luggage — airlines usually charge €20–40 per bag each way. Collect your bags from the oversized/sports luggage belt, which is typically separate from the main carousel at AYT. Allow 30–45 minutes for luggage collection during busy periods.
AYT terminal: clear, modern, well-signposted

Direct Flights to Antalya — From UK & Europe

Golf season flight tip: The spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) golf seasons coincide with peak holiday flight capacity to Antalya. Book flights 6–8 weeks in advance during these periods for the best availability. Summer (June–September) has the most frequent schedule but higher heat on arrival.

Airport to Belek — Transfer Options

Shuttle bus (shared)
~€10–15 per person · 45–75 min
Cheaper but shared with other passengers — multiple hotel drop-offs add time. Difficult with golf bags. Not recommended for golf groups.
Taxi
~€40–60 per vehicle · 30 min
Available at both terminals. More expensive than pre-arranged transfer. Use only licensed taxis from the official rank outside arrivals — avoid unlicensed touts inside the terminal.
Golf bags and transfers: A private transfer is the only sensible option with golf bags. Shuttle buses are not designed for oversized luggage, and public transport is impractical. Pre-book your transfer through GolfBelek.com when booking your Stay & Play package — golf bag handling is included.

Antalya Airport (AYT) — What to Know

🏛️
Two terminals
AYT has two terminals — Terminal 1 (international) and Terminal 2 (domestic and some international). Most UK and European flights use Terminal 1. Both are modern and well-equipped. Your transfer driver will meet you at the correct terminal.
🛂
Visa for Turkey
UK and most EU passport holders require an e-Visa for Turkey — apply online at evisa.gov.tr before travel (approximately €30 per person). Processing takes minutes. Print or save to your phone. Do not use unofficial visa sites that charge inflated fees.
💱
Currency
Turkey uses Turkish Lira (TRY). Most Belek resort hotels and golf courses accept euros — green fees, buggy hire and extras are all priced in euros. Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) accepted everywhere. No need to exchange currency for a golf-focused trip.
Time zone
Turkey is UTC+3 year-round — 3 hours ahead of the UK, 2 hours ahead of Central Europe. No daylight saving time changes. A 07:00 tee time feels like 05:00 UK time on day one — factor this in when booking early morning tee times on arrival day.
Golf bag on the flight
Most airlines charge €20–40 per golf bag each way as oversized/sports equipment — book this when purchasing your flight ticket. Golf bags must be checked in at the oversized baggage desk, not standard check-in. Soft travel bags are recommended for protection.
🚗
Car hire — not needed
A car is not necessary for a Belek golf holiday. Course shuttles are timed to your tee time and arranged through GolfBelek.com. Hotel-to-hotel transport is also available. The 15 courses are all within a 17km stretch — everything is accessible by shuttle.

Getting Around Belek

🚌
Course shuttles
Hotel-to-course shuttle transfer is available as an add-on for every booking through GolfBelek.com. Timed to your tee time, return transfer included after your round. Golf bags handled throughout. Add at checkout or contact us.
📍
Course distances
All 15 courses are within a 17km coastal strip. From any Belek hotel, the furthest course is no more than 20–25 minutes by transfer. Lykia Links is the furthest at approximately 20 minutes — still easily reachable without a car.
🏨
On-site courses
Several resorts have golf courses directly on the property — Sueno Hotels (Dunes + Pines), Cullinan Belek (Aspendos + Olympos), Gloria Golf Resort (Old + New), Cornelia Diamond (Nick Faldo), Kaya Palazzo. No transfer needed for these.
