Akcatekir Plateau Transfer
Akcatekir Plateau private transfer for summer moves, weekend visits and winter snow trips, from the airport or Adana straight to your plateau house in Pozantı.
Transfer to Akcatekir Plateau
Requests for an Akcatekir Plateau transfer start in June and run to the end of September. When the Adana heat sets in, a large part of the city moves up into the Taurus Mountains, and this plateau settlement in the Pozantı district is one of the biggest destinations. Here we describe highland life at Akçatekir, who goes there, and where our private transfers run from it.
A Summer Home in the Mountains
Elsewhere, a summer house means the seaside. In Adana it often means the yayla, the high summer pasture. Akçatekir is a large highland settlement in Pozantı, stretched along the Çakıt valley in the Taurus range. In winter it is a quiet village. In summer its population swells many times over, and the market, bakeries and tea houses come alive.
What people come for is simple. Cool air. On the plain even the nights can be stifling; up here the evenings call for a cardigan. Pine scent, the sound of the stream, morning tea on the balcony.
The Plateau Through the Year
Summer is the main season. When schools close, families open their houses and grandparents often spend the whole season here with the grandchildren. Working parents join them at weekends and drive back down on Sunday evening.
Winter shows another side. After snowfall, Akçatekir becomes a day-trip spot for Adana families who want to see snow. Snowballs, sledges, photos. Then home again.
Who Heads Up to Akçatekir
No hotels are listed at Akçatekir in our system. Most of our passengers go to family houses or rented plateau homes, and they fall into a few clear groups.
- Families moving up for the whole summer with boxes of household goods
- Relatives living abroad or in other cities who fly in to spend the summer at the family house
- People who work in Adana during the week and join the family on Friday evening
- Adult children settling elderly parents into the summer house
On moving day, luggage space matters more than headcount: boxes, blankets, kitchenware. A VIP Vito or an eight-seat Mercedes Vito handles that well. For a couple's weekend escape, a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan is enough.
Where We Drive From the Plateau
Through the summer the most common trip is down to central Adana, for hospital appointments, paperwork or shopping. The airport is a close second. Guests also travel to Mersin, Tarsus and, over the mountains, towards Niğde and Cappadocia. Pickup is from your plateau house door. For the arrival leg and the climb from the plain, see our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Akçatekir.
Prices are per vehicle. Choose Akçatekir Plateau in the booking form, enter your date and compare vehicle classes. Use "Add return" to put the way back in the same booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Akçatekir Plateau?
Akçatekir is a highland settlement in the Pozantı district of Adana, stretched along the Çakıt valley in the Taurus Mountains.

Which vehicle should we book to move up for the summer?

Our plateau house has no street address. How do we guide you?
On the plateau, addresses are usually described by landmarks. In the notes field of the booking form, write the area of the house, a nearby mosque, fountain or shop, and a phone number we can reach. If your plans change, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
Do you run winter day trips to Akçatekir?
Yes. You can book a day trip from Adana or Mersin to see the snow at Akçatekir. Plan the return together with the outbound trip using the "Add return" option. Mountain roads can be slower in winter, so choosing an earlier return time helps you get back before dark.
