<\/div>\n

Bus – Train – Taxi from Alicante airport to Altea<\/h2>\n

\"Bus<\/h2>\n

Since we get asked about train connections to Altea quite a bit, we mention this travel option here. However this is a real long and rather tough way of getting to Altea from Alicante airport. Since the airport is not connected to any train line at all, you would need to take the bus first.<\/p>\n

The Bus – Train – Taxi trip to from Alicante airport to Altea looks like this:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1.) Bus from Alicante airport to downtown Alicante – exit at last bus stop “Puerta del Mar”<\/p>\n

To get to Altea, you will take the local streetcar train called TRAM which connects Alicante to a variety of cities along the northern Costa Blanca. This is NOT the official national railroad, but the local streetcar! ( so – don’t go to the railroad train station!)<\/p>\n

2.) Get on the TRAM streetcar at station “Puerta del Mar” heading to the north of the Costa Blanca. Traveling by Tram you will need to switch lines twice, one in Alicante and lastly in Benidorm – to get you on your way to Altea. (Find more details and a timetable plus rail map here at our train to Benidorm, Denia and northern Costa Blanca<\/a> page). The train ride alone should take around 2 hours.<\/p>\n

3.) Arriving at Altea’s Tram station, you will need to get a taxi to get to your hotel in Altea.<\/p>\n

The total cost for bus ticket, train and taxi fare should add up to around 50 EUR. Total travel time for this “extra long journey” is around 3+ hours.<\/p>\n

As you see this is quite a long trip to get to your final destination in Altea, if you love travelling you will certainly enjoy the TRAM train ride, since it gets you to see a lot of the beautiful Costa Blanca scenery.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Private Transfer from Alicante to Altea<\/h2>\n

\"Private<\/h2>\n

A variety of private companies run transportation services from Alicante airport to Altea.<\/p>\n

Especially when travelling in groups, companies like Resorthoppa<\/a><\/strong> or shuttledirect offering shuttle services should be checked out.  Most of the time their quotes are similar to standard taxi service, but it is certainly worth checking them out beforehand.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Hire a Car at Alicante Airport For The Altea Vacation<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Not just to get you from Alicante airport to Altea, but also to give you flexibility and freedom while you are on vacation in Altea, a rental car should be at least considered. Altea is nicely located, close to Benidorm and Calpe, with a decent local transport system and the TRAM train getting you around main cities. However, if you travel in a group of people or as a family, public transport can get a bit expensive and you are not as flexible on where you want to go.<\/p>\n

Hiring a car is at least worth looking into – even if its just to enjoy a much more relaxed holidays in Altea.<\/p>\n
