Getting Around Belek
Flag down any yellow dolmuş on the main road. Tell the driver 'Rixos kadınlar plajı' (ladies beach side) if unsure. Pay in cash, exact change preferred.
Pre-book via the hotel or a reputable company like Antalya Transfer. Taxis at the airport often quote higher; agree the fare before getting in.
Get off at the Belek junction and take a local dolmuş (minibus) or short taxi to Rixos. Shuttle drops near the main road, not hotel door.
Services like KiwiTaxi or Booking.com Transfers offer fixed rates with no surge. Worth it for group travel—splits to about €12/person for four.
