Buyukeceli Transfer
Buyukeceli private transfer for Akkuyu plant staff, project teams and visitors, with door-to-door trips to Silifke, Taşucu, Mersin and Adana.
Transfer to Buyukeceli
Most Buyukeceli transfer requests come from a work schedule, not a holiday plan. This coastal town in the Gülnar district of Mersin lies right next to the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. The project has turned a small seaside town into a place where engineers, technicians and contractors come and go all year. Here we explain what Buyukeceli is like, who travels here and where our private transfers take you from it.
A Seaside Town Beside a Power Plant
Buyukeceli sits on the mountainous western coast of Mersin, between Taşucu and Aydıncık. The Taurus range comes very close to the sea here: steep slopes, small coves, winding roads. Before the plant project it was a quiet coastal town few outsiders had heard of.
Construction of the plant changed that rhythm. Demand for rental housing rose, and shift traffic now builds up in the mornings and evenings. You will hear several languages in the streets besides Turkish. The seaside side of life has not gone, though. At weekends people still swim off the shore and sit in tea gardens in the evening.
Who Travels to Buyukeceli
The passenger mix here is quite unlike the beach resorts further east. Most trips are work-related.
- Plant and contractor staff flying back after leave
- Engineers and specialists on short inspection visits, meetings or technical assignments
- New employees relocating with their families and a lot of luggage
- Guests of companies hosting project teams
- People born in the town who return to see family during holidays
- A small number of holidaymakers looking for quiet coves in summer
An engineer travelling alone is well served by a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan. A family relocating with heavy bags usually chooses a VIP Vito. Project teams arriving together fit into an eight-seat Mercedes Vito or a fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter.
Everyday Life Around Akkuyu
Buyukeceli is small, so staff usually head to Silifke or Mersin for bigger shopping trips and hospital appointments. To the east lie Yeşilovacık and Bogsak bay, then Taşucu and Silifke. To the west the coast road continues towards Aydıncık.
At weekends many staff take day trips to Kizkalesi, the Heaven and Hell sinkholes or Silifke castle. People who would rather not drive themselves on the steep, winding coast road book these outings as point-to-point transfers.
Where We Drive From Buyukeceli
The airport is the main destination: leave, rotation days, short business visits. We also drive to central Mersin for official paperwork and hospital visits, to Adana, Silifke and Taşucu port. Pickup is at your accommodation. For the airport leg itself, including vehicle choice for teams and planning the return, see our page on the private transfer from the airport to Buyukeceli.
Prices are per vehicle, not per person. Choose Buyukeceli in the booking form, enter your date and compare the vehicle classes. If your rotation dates are fixed, use Add return to book both directions together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Buyukeceli, and how close is it to Akkuyu?
Buyukeceli is a coastal town in the Gülnar district of Mersin province, right next to the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. It lies on the mountainous stretch of coast between Taşucu and Aydıncık. Because of the plant project, many staff live and work here, so most transfers to the town are business trips rather than holidays.
Can plant staff book transfers for every rotation?
Each trip is booked through the online form. If your leave and rotation dates are known, use the Add return option to put both directions in one booking. You can view all your bookings on the My Reservation page and send a change request there if your dates move.
Can I go from Buyukeceli to Silifke or Mersin and back in a day?
Yes. We run point-to-point transfers from the town to Silifke, Taşucu, central Mersin or Adana. If you are going for a hospital appointment, paperwork or shopping and coming back the same day, set the return time when you book. Prices for each vehicle class appear in the booking form.
Which vehicle suits a project team?
Choose by team size and luggage. A VIP Vito takes up to six passengers, a Mercedes Vito up to eight and a Mercedes Sprinter up to fifteen. Delegations of up to seven wanting more comfort can choose the Ultra VIP Sprinter. Since prices are per vehicle, keeping the team in one car lowers the cost per person.
