Of all the transfers to the Mersin coast, the Çukurova Airport to Kazanli transfer is one of the least tangled up in city traffic. The airport is on the Tarsus side and Kazanli lies east of Mersin, on the shore facing towards Tarsus. Unlike trips to the resorts west of the city, you do not have to cross the whole of Mersin. This page walks you through the journey from landing to the gate of your holiday home.
Baggage Belt, Name Sign, Car
Add your flight number to the booking and leave the tracking to us. If the plane lands late, your pickup time moves to match. Once you have your bags, look for the sign with your name at the arrivals exit. The driver will lead you to the car.
The terminal can be busy in high summer. As you push the trolley towards the sign, keep one thought in mind: the sea. The rest is planned.
Across the Plain to the Eastern Shore
From the airport the road crosses the flat plain between Tarsus and Mersin, past fields, greenhouses and patches of citrus orchard. As you near Kazanli, the coast comes into view. Reaching the beach without fighting through the city centre makes a real difference after a long flight.
On summer weekends the coastal roads get busier, with people arriving on Friday evening and leaving on Sunday. Our drivers know these rhythms and adjust the route to suit.
A Vehicle for Holiday-Home Luggage
Most people heading to Kazanli are going to their own summer house, not a hotel. That means more than holiday suitcases: boxes, a child's bike, perhaps a beach umbrella.

Prices are per vehicle and the booking form shows every class side by side. Child seats can be added as an extra.
Drop-Off at Your Gate and Departure Day
Some houses in Kazanli sit on lanes running parallel to the beach. Put the complex or street name, house number and your phone number in the notes and the driver will stop at the right gate. Cars never drive onto the beach; drop-off is always at your door. For more about the area and its turtle beach, see our Kazanli page.
Add your return now with the “Add return” option so both directions sit in one booking. Closing up a summer house on the last day takes time, with water and power to switch off, so choose your pickup time with that in mind. To begin, select Çukurova Airport as pickup and Kazanli as drop-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the drive go through central Mersin?
Kazanli is east of Mersin, on the shore facing Tarsus, so the trip usually avoids the busy city centre and runs mostly across the plain between Tarsus and Mersin. Coastal roads can be busier on summer weekends, and our drivers choose the route according to the time and traffic.
Will the driver take us to the gate of our summer house?
Yes, we work door to door. Write the complex or street name, house number and your phone number in the notes. Kazanli beach is a protected turtle nesting area, so vehicles never drive onto the sand; drop-off and pickup always take place at the gate of your house or complex.
Can we add a child seat?
Yes, child seats can be added to the booking as an extra. Note your child's age and how many seats you need so the right type is prepared. The seat comes already fitted in the car, so you can set off without spending time installing it at the airport.
When should we book the end-of-summer return?
The simplest approach is to book it together with your arrival, using “Add return” so both legs sit in one reservation. If your return date changes, send a change request through the My Reservation page. When choosing a pickup time, allow for closing up the house and for check-in at the airport.
