Adana Kozan Transfer
Kozan private transfer to the castle town of old Sis, Anavarza, the Kozan Dam lake and villages towards Feke, for family visits and citrus business trips.
Transfer to Adana Kozan
A Kozan transfer ends beneath a castle. As you approach the town, fortress walls appear along the spine of a rocky hill, with the town and its orange groves spread below. Kozan lies north-east of Adana, where the plain meets the Taurus, and it is one of the most historic districts in the region. This page covers getting to Kozan, who travels there and where our private transfers go from the town.
From Sis to Kozan: the Castle on the Ridge
Kozan's old name is Sis. In the Middle Ages it was the capital of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and its castle still carries the marks of that era as it runs along the ridge above the town. The present name comes from the Kozanoğulları, a family who later ruled the area.
Climbing up to the walls needs decent shoes and a little patience. The reward is the whole plain at your feet. Late afternoon is the best time for photos.
Orange Groves and a Reservoir
Mention Kozan to anyone from Adana and they think of oranges. Citrus groves surround the town. In spring the trees blossom and the scent drifts across the roads. Winter is harvest season, with lorries carrying fruit down to market.
Close to town lies the reservoir of the Kozan Dam, popular for weekend picnics and walks. Further out, still inside the district, are the ruins of Anazarbus, known locally as Anavarza. In the medieval period it was the region's second city after Sis, and its walls spread around the foot of a rocky outcrop.
Who Travels to Kozan
Our passengers come for very different reasons:
- Families returning home for religious holidays and school breaks
- Citrus buyers, packers and exporters on business trips
- Travellers who want to see Kozan Castle and Anavarza in one day
- People continuing up to mountain villages around Feke and Saimbeyli
- Staff posted to the town's hospital, schools or public offices
- Extended families gathering for weddings and engagements
A business traveller on their own is well served by a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan. A large family suits the eight-seat Mercedes Vito, and a wedding party the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter.
Where We Drive From Kozan
Kozan sits at the start of an old caravan route into the Taurus, and the road towards Feke and Saimbeyli still begins here. That makes the town a natural stepping stone for anyone heading to mountain villages. We work door to door, so pickup or drop-off can be a hotel, a house or a village square. Avşaroğlu Otel is listed in our system.
The airport is our most requested direction. For that leg, see our page on the airport transfer to Kozan. We also drive to central Adana, Ceyhan, İmamoğlu and towards Osmaniye. Prices are per vehicle. Choose Kozan in the booking form, enter your date and time, and compare vehicle classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see Kozan Castle and Anavarza in one day?
Both are within Kozan district, so a single day is realistic. Book point-to-point transfers from where you are staying to Kozan Castle, on to Anavarza and back in the evening. List your stops in the notes field of the booking form, where you will also see the price for each vehicle class.
Do you drive from Kozan to Feke or Saimbeyli?
Yes. You can book transfers from Kozan to villages towards Feke and Saimbeyli. Because these are mountain roads, describe the destination in the notes field with the village name, a landmark and a phone number. You can plan the return in the same reservation with the Add return option.
Which vehicle suits a team visiting citrus growers?
A team of two or three is comfortable in a Business Sedan or Comfort Class. A group of up to six touring several groves can choose the VIP Vito, and a larger delegation the eight-seat Mercedes Vito. Prices are per vehicle, so the cost per person drops as more people share the car.
How do I change a booking to or from Kozan?
You can view your booking on the My Reservation page of our website and send a change request for the time, date or address. Our team reviews it and updates the plan. If your flight has changed, send the new flight number through the same page so the pickup can be adjusted.
