How Far Is Kas from Dalaman Airport? 2026 Transfer Prices
Kas, with its dive sites, harbour facing the Greek island of Meis and relaxed atmosphere, is one of the most special towns on the Mediterranean coast. Because it belongs to Antalya province, many travellers assume they should fly into Antalya, but the closest airport by distance is actually Dalaman in Mugla. This guide covers the distance and drive time from Dalaman to Kas, compares the two airports and lists 2026 transfer prices.
