What is the "Taxi Overcharging from the Airport" scam in Alanya?

Question

Accepted Answer

Transfers from Antalya Airport to Alanya, a journey of approximately 130 km, are quoted at significantly inflated rates by drivers at the arrival area. Shared shuttle services are significantly cheaper and should be pre-booked. Pre-book an Alanya transfer through your hotel or a verified shuttle service such as HavaShuttle before arriving. If using an airport taxi, agree the price in Turkish lira before departure. The journey should cost approximately 800-1200 TRY in a metered taxi, not the 80-100 EUR sometimes quoted.
