Land at Çukurova in July and the heat of the plain greets you as the doors open. A Çukurova Airport to Dorel Marin Homes transfer takes you from that heat to Aydınlıkevler, close to the Mersin seafront: first the motorway past Tarsus, then the city boulevards, finally the side streets that run down towards the sea. For families from abroad arriving for the summer, remote workers coming for the winter and anyone planning a stay of several weeks, here is how the journey works.
Arrival Depends on the Season
Summer means busy terminals and hot afternoons. A large family with big suitcases can spend a long time at the baggage belt. Winter is calmer, and darkness falls early.
What never changes: you put your flight number in the booking, we track the flight, and if it is late the pickup moves with it. Collect your bags, walk out through the arrivals exit, and the sign with your name is there. However long the belt takes, that is where you will find your driver.
From the Plain to the Shore
The car heads west from the airport. The motorway past Tarsus runs straight across the Çukurova plain. Traffic increases as you approach Mersin.
Inside the city, the car crosses the eastern districts into Yenişehir. The last part is specific to this property: it leaves the main roads for the side streets of Aydınlıkevler near the coast and finds 2046 Sokak. On summer evenings the area around the seafront gets busy as people head to the water and parking fills up, so the final few streets can take a little longer. A full address with building number gets you to the door.
Cars for Long Stays
The longer the stay, the bigger the luggage. Choose by suitcases as much as by passengers.
- A remote worker with one case: Business Sedan
- Someone who wants a quiet ride after a long-haul flight: Premium Sedan
- A couple or three travellers with light bags: Comfort Class
- A family of four to six with big suitcases: VIP Vito or Ultra VIP Vito
Families arriving with boxes of gifts can take the eight-seat Mercedes Vito, and an extended family travelling together the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle and every class appears side by side in the form. Child seats can be added as an extra.
Collecting the Keys, and Going Home
Apartment handover times vary by property. If you land late at night or very early, tell the property your arrival time in advance. Want to see relatives first? Enter their address as the drop-off and book a separate transfer to the apartment afterwards. For the neighbourhood and trips during your stay, see our Dorel Marin Homes page.
The return needs no separate booking; "Add return" puts the property-to-airport leg in the same reservation. Luggage tends to grow over a long stay, so consider the same size of vehicle, or larger, for the trip back. To start, choose Çukurova Airport as pickup and Dorel Marin Homes as drop-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ride take longer in summer?
The motorway section usually flows well all year. On summer evenings, though, the streets of Yenişehir near the coast can get busy, adding a little time to the last few blocks. Bear that in mind for evening arrivals, and choose a slightly earlier pickup for the ride back to the airport.
What if I am stuck at the baggage belt for a long time?
We track your flight and set the pickup by the actual landing time. In summer, waiting at the belt can take a while; your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign showing your name. Just make sure the flight number in your booking is correct.
Can we stop at our relatives' home before checking in?
Yes. Book the airport to your relatives' address as the first transfer, then add a separate point-to-point transfer from there to Dorel Marin Homes. The booking form shows the price of each journey by vehicle class, so you can plan both legs at once.
What if I leave with more luggage than I arrived with?
If your return is in the same booking through "Add return", send a change request from the My Reservation page to switch to a bigger vehicle class. A roomier car makes both the ride and unloading at the airport easier after a long stay.
