A Çukurova Airport to Elysium Garden Otel transfer covers almost the entire length of the Mersin coast. Your plane lands near Tarsus; the journey ends outside a small boutique hotel in the Tekeli neighbourhood of Bozyazı. Here is how it works, from the arrivals hall to the street where the hotel stands, along with what the road is like and which car suits a couple.
Your Name on a Sign in Arrivals
All we need is your flight number in the booking. We track the flight, and if it lands late, the pickup time moves to the new landing time. Once you have your bags, come through to arrivals and look for the sign with your name. From there it is simple: into the car and off you go.
It is a long trip, so a little preparation helps. A charged phone, a light jumper in your hand luggage, some water. Evenings on the coast road can turn cool quickly outside high summer.
Plain, Coast, Then Mountain Road
From the airport the car heads west towards Mersin. First the flat farmland of the Çukurova plain, then the roads around Mersin. Between Erdemli and Silifke the route hugs the sea, with greenhouses, citrus orchards and small beach towns in a steady line.
After Taşucu the scenery changes. The Taurus Mountains come down to the shore and the road clings to the coast in a series of bends. Past Aydıncık, you are nearly in Bozyazı. This part is driven at a calm pace. If you need a short break during the trip, tell your driver and a stop can be made at a suitable spot.
In Bozyazı: a Neighbourhood, Not the Boulevard
Many arrivals in Bozyazı head for hotels on the seafront boulevard. Elysium Garden is reached differently. After entering the town, the car turns into Tekeli and stops on Mehmet Akif Ersoy Street outside the hotel. As it is a regular street, pulling up at the door is easy.
Some booking sites list the hotel under Anamur, but the address is in Bozyazı. Book under the hotel's name and the driver will go to the right place. For more on the neighbourhood and trips from the hotel, see our Elysium Garden Otel page.
Sedan or Van for Two?
Most guests at a boutique hotel travel as a couple or a small family. On a long drive, the car makes a real difference.
- Two people, two cases: Business Sedan
- The same load in a quieter, roomier cabin: Premium Sedan
- Three travellers with medium luggage: Comfort Class
- A pushchair or plenty of extra bags: VIP Vito
Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and the booking form shows each class side by side. Travelling with a child? Add a child seat as an extra when you book.
Planning the Morning You Leave
The return needs no second booking. While booking your arrival, use the "Add return" option to add the hotel-to-airport leg. Work the pickup time back from your flight, allowing for the winding coastal section, summer traffic in the beach towns and airport formalities. An early flight means a very early start, so mention it to the hotel as well. To begin, select Çukurova Airport as pickup and Elysium Garden Otel as drop-off, then enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will the driver find the hotel?
The hotel name and drop-off point are saved in your booking, so the driver goes straight to Mehmet Akif Ersoy Street in Bozyazı's Tekeli neighbourhood and stops at the entrance. The fact that some sites list the hotel under Anamur does not affect the transfer. You can add any extra note in the booking form's comments field.
Is the road winding? Any advice for car sickness?
The first half of the route is flat and wide. After Taşucu the coast road bends along the foot of the mountains, passing Aydıncık on the way to Bozyazı. Passengers who get car sick usually do better in the front seat and after a light meal. If you need a short stop, simply tell your driver.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
Because we track your flight, the pickup time is adjusted to the actual landing time and you do not need to do anything. If the delay means a late arrival at the hotel, let the hotel know about your late check-in, as the drive to Bozyazı is a long one.
What if our return date changes?
Open your booking on the My Reservation page and send a change request. If you booked both directions together using the "Add return" option, you can follow both journeys in one place. Letting us know as early as possible makes the new plan easier to arrange.
