ANFAŞ Expo Center Antalya: Getting There, Hotels & Transfers

ANFAŞ hosts trade fairs all year round: tourism, energy, food, hotel equipment, agriculture, cars, jewellery and more. Whichever event brings you here, the travel questions are the same: how far is it from the airport, can you use the tram, where should you stay and how do you get back after closing time. This guide answers them for any ANFAŞ event. We’re an Antalya-based team, and the public transport details below were checked against the official AntalyaKart route data.

Where Is ANFAŞ Expo Center?

The venue sits just north of the main Antalya-Serik road (D400), between the airport and the town of Aksu. It has around 40,000 m² of indoor exhibition space across four halls, plus outdoor areas, a large conference hall and meeting rooms. When you give an address to a taxi driver or a hotel, use “ANFAŞ Fuar Merkezi, Aksu”: that’s the name locals use.

Antalya Airport to ANFAŞ

ANFAŞ is one of the few trade-fair venues in Europe that’s practically next door to an international airport. The venue itself says it’s five minutes away. In practice, allow around 5-10 minutes of driving, plus time for passport control and bags at the airport.

• Taxi: metered yellow taxis wait at the terminal ranks. It’s a short ride, so it’s the simplest option if you’re going straight to the fair with hand luggage. Fares are set by the official tariff, so check the fare board at the rank rather than relying on an old figure online. Our Antalya taxi guide explains how to make sure the meter is running.
• Tram (with one change): there’s no direct airport-to-ANFAŞ tram. Take the T1A from the Havalimanı (airport) stop towards Fatih, get off at Yonca, the next stop, and change to a T1B (to Expo) or T1C (to Aksu) for one stop to Pınarlı. Then walk about 800 m. It’s cheap, but realistic only with light luggage.
• Pre-booked private transfer: a fixed price agreed in advance, a driver waiting when you land and space for display material. Worth it for stand teams, groups and anyone landing on the morning the fair opens.

Antalya Airport has more than one terminal, and international flights don’t all use the same one. If it’s your first time, our Antalya Airport arrivals guide explains where taxis and drivers wait, and the Antalya airport transfers hub compares every route.

Getting to ANFAŞ by Tram and Bus

Antalya’s public transport is a reasonable way to reach ANFAŞ if you’re travelling light. These are the lines that serve the venue, checked against the official AntalyaKart route data in October 2026:

Paying: trams and city buses use the same single fare: 42 TL with an AntalyaKart or 50 TL with a contactless bank card. Cash isn’t accepted on board. See how to pay for public transport in Antalya for where to buy and top up a card.

Honest verdict: the tram is great value for one person with a laptop bag, especially from the city centre, where you can board at İsmetpaşa or Meydan and ride without changing. It’s less fun with a suitcase, samples or banners, because of the walk at the ANFAŞ end. For more car-free trips around the city, see Antalya without a car.

Getting to ANFAŞ from the Main Hotel Areas

Drive times below are typical outside rush hour. Morning traffic into the city and the evening exodus when a fair closes can add a lot, so build in a buffer on the first day.

From Lara and Kundu

Usually around 15-25 minutes by car or taxi. By public transport, bus 511 runs along the Kundu hotel strip (Yaşar Sobutay Bulvarı) and stops on Serik Caddesi, about 500 m from the venue, in both directions. Bus 527 is useful for the trip back: it leaves from beside ANFAŞ towards Kundu, but it doesn’t pass the venue on its way from Kundu. From the Güzeloba side of Lara, bus 528 is the one to look for. Check which stop is nearest your hotel in the AntalyaKart app.

From the City Centre and Kaleiçi

Usually around 25-40 minutes by road. This is the easiest public-transport route: walk to the İsmetpaşa or Meydan tram stop, take the T1B or T1C to Pınarlı without changing, and walk the last 800 m. Kaleiçi’s lanes are largely closed to cars, so if you book a taxi or transfer, agree a pickup point at the edge of the old town.

From Konyaaltı

Konyaaltı is on the opposite, western side of the city, so it’s the longest daily run: usually around 35-50 minutes by car, more at rush hour. There’s no direct line; you’d get into the centre first and then take the T1B or T1C east. If your fair runs for several days, staying in Konyaaltı makes sense only if you want its beach and seafront in the evenings.

From Belek

Usually around 30-40 minutes by road along the D400. Public transport from Belek’s resort strip isn’t a practical option for a fair day, so plan on a taxi, your event’s shuttle if it has one, or a booked transfer. Belek suits people combining a fair with golf or a resort stay, or attending events at NEST in the same trip.

Where to Stay for an ANFAŞ Fair

If your event has an official hotel list with shuttles, start there: those hotels are on the shuttle loop, which saves you planning every morning. If you’re booking yourself, Lara and Kundu give you the shortest daily run with a real choice of hotels. Our guides to hotels near Antalya Airport, Lara Beach hotels, boutique hotels in Kaleiçi, Konyaaltı hotels and Belek resorts go into detail, and where to stay in Antalya compares the areas.

Getting Back After the Fair

Arriving is easy because visitors trickle in all morning. Leaving is different: when a big fair closes, thousands of people walk out at the same moment, and the taxi queue, the bus stops and the walk to Pınarlı all fill up together. A little planning saves a lot of standing around.

• Leave a little early or a little late. Leaving 20-30 minutes before closing, or staying for a coffee until the first wave has gone, often beats joining the rush.
• Agree a pickup point in advance. If you’ve booked a car, fix the exact gate and a time, and share your live location on WhatsApp. “The main entrance” means different things when several halls are emptying at once.
• Have your hotel’s name and address in writing. Save it exactly as on your booking: several resort brands have sister hotels with similar names in Lara, Kundu and Belek.
• Use the bus stop beside the venue. For Kundu, bus 527 leaves from Aksu Atatürk Bulvarı right next to ANFAŞ, so you don’t have to walk to the tram.
• Flying out the same evening? The airport is close, but security queues aren’t. Bring your luggage in the morning or arrange for your transfer to collect it, and allow plenty of time at the terminal. Our Antalya Airport departures guide and late-flight guide help with timing and bags.
