A Çukurova Airport to Hawaii Beach Resort transfer covers most of the coastline west of Mersin. The airport is near Tarsus; the resort is in Arpaçbahşiş, past Erdemli town and just short of Kızkalesi. This page explains how the run works in one vehicle with no changes, which matters most when you are travelling as a big family or a group.
Landing as a Group
A family of ten or a wedding party tends to scatter in an arrivals hall. One person at the baggage belt, another at the exchange desk, a third on the phone. The sign with your name in the arrivals area becomes everyone's meeting point. We track the flight number, so if you are delayed, the pickup shifts to the real landing time.
If your group is arriving on different flights, book a separate transfer for each one. That way nobody waits for the other plane.
Past Erdemli, Down to the Sea
The car heads west towards Mersin, using the wide roads around the city before the coastal road begins. After Erdemli town, the road enters the Arpaçbahşiş shore, citrus orchards and greenhouses on one side, summer-house compounds on the other.
The last part is specific to this resort. The car turns off the main road, threads through the neighbourhood to 213 Sokak and drops down towards the shore, stopping at the entrance. On summer evenings the streets between the holiday compounds fill with parked cars and children on bikes, so the final stretch can be slow. Weekend traffic can also build up leaving Mersin.
Planning Vehicles for a Crowd
This is a route for families and groups. Match the vehicle to your head count and your bags:
- Couple or family of three: Business Sedan, Premium Sedan or Comfort Class
- Family of four or five with plenty of luggage: VIP Vito or Ultra VIP Vito
- Relatives travelling together, up to eight: Mercedes Vito
- Up to seven who want a more relaxed long drive: Ultra VIP Sprinter
- Wedding or graduation groups of up to fifteen: Mercedes Sprinter
- Larger parties: several vehicles for the same flight
We charge per vehicle, not per person, which counts for a lot as the group grows. Child seats can be added to the booking as an extra.
The First and Last Day
On a morning flight you may reach the resort before check-in time, so ask the hotel about arrival arrangements beforehand. For more on the resort's stretch of coast and the trips you can take during your stay, see our Hawaii Beach Resort page.
The return needs no separate booking. Add it with the “Add return” option in the form. Getting a whole group ready at the same moment takes time, so build that into the pickup, and remember that Sunday evenings on the coast road are busy with people heading home. To start, choose Çukurova Airport and Hawaii Beach Resort in the form, then enter your passenger count and flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our group is arriving on different flights. How should we book?
Make a separate booking for each flight. Each vehicle then tracks its own flight, and early arrivals do not have to wait for a later plane. You can see every booking on the My Reservation page and send change requests from there if plans move.
Can the car reach the resort entrance?
Yes, we work door to door. The resort is in the Arpaçbahşiş neighbourhood on a street off the main coastal road, and the car drives through the neighbourhood to the entrance. On summer evenings the streets around the holiday compounds can be crowded, so the last few hundred metres may be slow.
What is the road from the airport to Arpaçbahşiş like?
The car heads towards Mersin on the wide roads around the city, follows the coastal road through Erdemli and reaches the Arpaçbahşiş shore before Kızkalesi. On summer weekends traffic can build up leaving Mersin and through the beach towns, so allow some extra time.
How do you collect a group for the flight home?
Add the return to your arrival booking with the “Add return” option. When choosing the pickup time, leave room for everyone to gather in the lobby, and work back from your flight with coastal traffic in mind. For larger groups, several vehicles can be booked for the same time.
