How to get from Alanya to Almaty: travel options
A direct flight is the fastest option: you depart from Gazipasa-Alanya Airport and land in Almaty about 5 hours 15 minutes later with no intermediate stops.
Connecting itineraries run through Istanbul: a first flight out of Alanya, then the onward service to Almaty. This takes longer but is available on practically any day of the week.
The nonstop flight wins on time, while a one-stop itinerary wins on schedule flexibility, so the choice comes down to your dates and budget. When connecting in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
