Gazipaşa Airport Car Hire – The Best Way to Explore Alanya and the Eastern Mediterranean

Located on Turkey's beautiful Mediterranean coast, Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) has become one of the fastest-growing airports serving the Antalya region. Every year, thousands of international travellers choose Gazipaşa Airport because it provides quick and convenient access to Alanya, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Konaklı, Avsallar, Side, and Manavgat.

Instead of spending valuable holiday time on long airport transfers, many visitors prefer collecting a rental car immediately after landing and beginning their journey on their own schedule.

Choosing a professional Gazipaşa Airport Car Hire service gives you complete freedom from the moment you arrive.

Stop whenever you discover a beautiful viewpoint.

Visit hidden beaches along the coastline.

Enjoy local restaurants away from tourist crowds.

Explore ancient castles, caves and mountain canyons without depending on organised tours.

At Turtas Rent a Car, we've been helping visitors explore Turkey since 1996.

With a fleet of more than 400 professionally maintained vehicles, transparent pricing, multilingual customer support and decades of local experience, we make travelling around southern Turkey simple, comfortable and enjoyable.

Whether you're planning a relaxing beach holiday, a family vacation or an unforgettable Mediterranean road trip, we'll help you begin your journey with confidence.

Why Rent a Car at Gazipaşa Airport?

Gazipaşa Airport is perfectly positioned for exploring the eastern Mediterranean coastline.

Unlike many airport destinations where visitors travel directly to a single hotel, this region is filled with attractions spread across dozens of kilometres.

A rental car gives you the flexibility to experience far more during your holiday.

Instead of travelling directly to your accommodation, you can stop at scenic viewpoints, discover quiet beaches, visit local cafés or explore historic landmarks before check-in.

If you're staying in Alanya, our Alanya Car Hire guide includes detailed information about parking, local driving tips and the city's most popular attractions.

Best Destinations from Gazipaşa Airport

One of Gazipaşa Airport's biggest advantages is its location.

Several of Turkey's most popular holiday destinations are within easy driving distance.

Alanya

Approximately 45 minutes from the airport, Alanya is famous for its lively atmosphere, beautiful beaches and fascinating history.

Highlights include Alanya Castle, Cleopatra Beach, Damlataş Cave, Alanya Harbour, and the historic Red Tower.

Travellers staying here may also find our Alanya Car Hire guide helpful when planning local day trips.

Mahmutlar

Mahmutlar has become one of the fastest-growing holiday destinations on the Mediterranean coast.

Long beaches, modern accommodation, cafés and excellent transport connections make it an ideal place for visitors looking for a quieter alternative to central Alanya.

Dim Cave & Dim River

The spectacular Dim Cave is one of Turkey's largest natural caves.

Nearby, Dim River offers riverside restaurants built above flowing mountain water, creating one of the most relaxing places to spend a summer afternoon.

Sapadere Canyon

Only a short drive from Alanya lies Sapadere Canyon, one of the region's most impressive natural attractions.

Wooden walkways, waterfalls and crystal-clear mountain streams provide a refreshing escape from the summer heat.

Side & Manavgat

Many visitors continue west after exploring Alanya.

If your journey includes Side or Manavgat, our Side Car Rental and Manavgat Car Rental guides include recommended attractions, driving routes and useful local travel advice.

Why Driving Is Better Than Airport Transfers

Airport transfers simply take you from the airport to your hotel.

A rental car transforms your entire holiday.

Imagine stopping for breakfast overlooking the Mediterranean.

Visiting Sapadere Canyon before check-in.

Driving to Alanya Castle at sunset.

Enjoying dinner beside Dim River.

These spontaneous experiences become possible only when you have complete control over your itinerary.

For many travellers, the drive itself becomes one of the highlights of their holiday.
