A Çukurova Airport to Palmiye Otel 2 transfer is the shortest line between stepping off the plane and lying on a beach towel. The airport is near Tarsus; the hotel is in Kızkalesi, past Mersin and Erdemli, on 2. Plaj Yolu Sokak, a lane running down to the sand. For groups of friends on a summer holiday and weekenders alike, here is the journey from landing to the door, plus late-night arrivals and the trip back.
A Midnight Landing Is Part of the Plan
Holiday flights often land at the edges of the day: very early morning or close to midnight. Just put your flight number in the booking. We track the flight, and if it is late the pickup moves to the actual landing time. At the arrivals exit a driver waits with a sign showing your name.
If you will arrive late at night, tell the hotel in advance too. Night reception arrangements at small, simple hotels can vary. We drop you at the door; getting inside is between you and the hotel.
From the Coast Road to the Beach Lane
The car heads west from the airport on the motorway around Mersin, skipping the city centre. After Mezitli the coastal road begins: Erdemli's greenhouses, Limonlu, the ruins at Ayaş. As you near Kızkalesi, the castle in the sea comes into view.
The last stretch is unique to this hotel. In town the car leaves the coastal road and turns down the side streets towards the beach onto 2. Plaj Yolu Sokak. On summer evenings these lanes fill with holidaymakers on foot, so the car moves slowly. Kızkalesi also has other properties with similar names, so make sure you select "Palmiye Otel 2" exactly in the form and add the hotel's address in the notes.
The Bigger the Group, the Smaller the Share
Our prices are per vehicle, which goes straight to the bottom line for groups of friends.

Enter your head count in the booking form and every class appears side by side. A child seat can be added as an extra.
The Way Back: Don't Cut Your Last Beach Day Short
Plenty of people want a final morning swim before an afternoon flight. You can do that, as long as you pick the right pickup time. The return needs no separate booking; use "Add return" in the booking form to add the hotel-to-airport leg to the same reservation. Work the pickup time back from your flight, allowing for traffic on the coast road and around Mersin plus airport check-in.
For more on the hotel's spot in town and day trips from there, see our Palmiye Otel 2 page. To start, choose Çukurova Airport as the pickup point and Palmiye Otel 2 as the drop-off, then enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will someone meet us if our flight lands at midnight?
Yes. When your flight number is in the booking, we track your flight, the pickup follows the real landing time, and a driver meets you at the exit with a name sign. Let the hotel know you will arrive late as well, because we do not know its night check-in arrangements.
Can the car get down the beach lane?
Using the hotel name and address in your booking, the car leaves the coastal road, turns onto 2. Plaj Yolu Sokak and drops you outside the hotel. On summer evenings the lanes fill with people walking, so the last bit can be slow. If you are unsure of the address, add what the hotel gave you in the notes field.
We are a group of eight friends. Which vehicle should we choose?
For eight people with normal holiday luggage, the Mercedes Vito carries everyone in one vehicle. If you have a lot of bags or the group is bigger than eight, the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter is more comfortable. Prices are per vehicle, so you can split the total; enter your head count in the form to compare.
Can we swim on the last morning and fly in the afternoon?
If your flight time allows it, yes. The key is choosing the right pickup time: work back from your flight, allowing for the coastal road from Kızkalesi, traffic around Mersin, and baggage drop and security at the airport. You can book the return together with your arrival using the "Add return" option.
