Private Jet Portofino to Antalya

Portofino to Antalya spans approximately 1,078 nautical miles, joining the fashionable harbour of the Italian Riviera with the sunlit Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. A sector of this length is ideally suited to a mid-size or super-mid-size jet, with the Challenger 350 and the Gulfstream G280 both offering the range and cabin comfort for a flight of a little over two hours; a light jet such as the Phenom 300 serves smaller parties well. Cruising at altitudes approaching 43,000 to 45,000 feet, these aircraft rise above the weather of the eastern Mediterranean for a smooth passage. Departures are handled from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, the nearest gateway to Portofino and the Ligurian coast, from which the transfer to the harbour is short. Antalya, the gateway to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, makes a fitting counterpart to the yacht-lined quay of Portofino. The city gathers around a Roman-era harbour of its own, and its old quarter of Kaleici preserves Hadrian’s Gate, timber Ottoman houses and steep lanes descending to the sea, all framed by the Taurus Mountains beyond. Nearby lie the ruins of Perge and the great theatre of Aspendos, while the beaches of Konyaalti and Lara flank the city. This route suits travellers moving between two of the Mediterranean’s most storied harbours, couples and families bound for a coastal summer, and groups who value the speed and privacy of a direct flight. For those wishing to trade the Ligurian Riviera for the harbours of the Turquoise Coast, the charter offers the most graceful way to make the crossing.
