Başar Hotel Transfer

Başar Hotel is in Kızkalesi, listed by booking sites as a few minutes' walk from the town's public beach. What that means in practice is simple: you will hardly need a car during your stay. You walk to the beach, you walk to the seafront in the evening. A Başar Hotel transfer therefore usually comes down to two journeys, arrival and departure, with perhaps one day trip in between. Here is how to get to Başar Hotel and how to plan those journeys.

Walking Distance From the Public Beach

The sea castle that gives Kızkalesi its name sits on a small island just off the sandy beach, and the public beach is the broad stretch of sand facing it. Guests choosing Başar Hotel usually want to be close to that beach: down with a towel in the morning, back to the room at midday, into the water again in the late afternoon.

Being near the centre has another side. On summer evenings the streets near the shore get crowded. Your transfer car comes right to the hotel, but at peak times the last few hundred metres may take a little longer.

A Weekend Escape or a Week by the Sea

Guests at a beach-adjacent hotel tend to build the holiday around the water. They include:

• Weekenders setting off from Adana, Mersin or Gaziantep on a Friday evening
• Families flying in from abroad or other Turkish cities for a week of sea and sand
• Groups of friends
• Retired couples looking for a quiet coast outside the high season

Weekenders often come by road; for those who fly, the airport transfer is the only real transport job of the holiday. Coming from Gaziantep or Adana? You can book a direct transfer from the city to the hotel as well.

The One Day You Need a Car

Even beach walkers usually set aside a day for an outing. The easiest trips from Başar Hotel are the Heaven and Hell sinkholes near Narlıkuyu, the Adamkayalar rock reliefs in the valley behind the town and the ruins of Elaiussa Sebaste at Ayaş. For a longer day, Silifke and Taşucu, or central Mersin.

Book that outing as a point-to-point transfer and add the way back with the “Add return” option. For the drive from the airport, getting into busy central Kızkalesi and timing it around your flight, see our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Başar Hotel.

Arrival and Departure in One Booking

If you only need two journeys, the easiest move is to book both at once. When reserving your arrival, tick “Add return” and enter your return date and time. That way there is nothing to arrange on the last afternoon.

Ask the hotel about check-in in advance, especially if you are landing in the morning. If you are coming at the start or end of the season, also confirm the hotel is open on your dates. Pick the vehicle by passengers and luggage; prices are per vehicle. Select Başar Hotel in the booking form and compare the classes.
