Getting There

Car
If you are driving from major towns in Lycia, start by heading towards Demre. From Kaş, take the D400 highway towards Demre, which is approximately a 40-minute drive (30 km). Once you reach Demre, follow the signs to the harbor, where you can find parking options. The parking fees are usually around 20-30 Turkish Lira for a day. After parking, you will need to take a boat to Aşırlı Island. Boat trips are available from the harbor and typically cost around 50-100 Turkish Lira per person, depending on the operator.

Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, take a bus from Antalya to Demre. Buses leave frequently from the Antalya bus terminal (Otogar) and the journey takes approximately 2-3 hours, costing around 50-70 Turkish Lira. Once you arrive in Demre, you can either walk to the harbor (which is about 1.5 km from the bus station) or take a local taxi for about 30-40 Turkish Lira. From the harbor, you will need to take a boat to Aşırlı Island, with costs ranging from 50-100 Turkish Lira per person.
-
Taxi
For a more direct option, you can hire a taxi from nearby towns like Kaş or Antalya directly to Demre.
