A Çukurova Airport to Palmiye Suit Otel Kızkalesi transfer is the first and heaviest day of a long holiday. The airport is near Tarsus; the property is inside the town of Kızkalesi, past Mersin, Erdemli and Ayaş. For families arriving with two weeks of luggage, children and perhaps a grandparent too, here is how the journey runs from landing to the front door.
A Long Holiday's Luggage Starts at the Airport
For a two-week family holiday, the suitcases easily outnumber the people. The baggage belt may take a while. No rush: with your flight number in the booking we track the flight, and if it is delayed the pickup moves to the actual landing time. At the arrivals exit, a driver waits with a sign showing your name.
If you added a child seat, it is ready in the car. Noting your amount of luggage in the booking is the simplest way to make sure you have chosen the right vehicle class.
The Taurus on One Side, the Sea on the Other
The car heads west from the airport on the motorway around Mersin, bypassing the city centre. After Mezitli the coastal road begins: holiday estates running down to the water on the right, greenhouses and lemon groves climbing the Taurus foothills on the left. Once Erdemli, Limonlu and the ruins at Ayaş are behind you, the castle in the sea appears.
The last stretch is specific to this property. Entering Kızkalesi, the car leaves the coastal road and threads through the town's streets near the beach to the entrance. Because there are similarly named properties in town, select "Palmiye Suit Otel Kızkalesi" exactly in the form and add the address from your hotel confirmation in the notes. Summer weekends can bring traffic leaving Mersin and at the town entrance.
Grandparents and Grandchildren in One Car
Families on long holidays often span three generations. Choose for the comfort of older passengers and for luggage.
- A couple with two large cases: Premium Sedan
- A family of four with two weeks of bags: VIP Vito
- A three-generation family wanting wide seats: Ultra VIP Vito
- A big family of up to eight: Mercedes Vito
- Two or three families with plenty of luggage: Mercedes Sprinter
- Seven people wanting a more comfortable cabin: Ultra VIP Sprinter
Prices are per vehicle, not per person. The booking form lists every class side by side.
Picking Check-In Day to Fit the Flight
On a morning flight you may arrive before rooms are ready, so discuss check-in with the hotel beforehand. If an evening flight means a late arrival, let them know that too. For more on the property's location and day trips on a long stay, see our Palmiye Suit Otel Kızkalesi page.
The return needs no separate booking. Use "Add return" in the booking form to add the trip back to the airport to the same reservation, and if your holiday gets longer or shorter, send a change request through My Reservation. Work the pickup time back from your flight, allowing for coastal traffic and airport check-in. To start, choose Çukurova Airport and the property in the form and enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have a lot of luggage for two weeks. Which car should we book?
For a family of four with two weeks of luggage, a VIP Vito is a good starting point. If you have a great deal of luggage or more than six people, choose the eight-seat Mercedes Vito, and for two or three families together the Mercedes Sprinter. Writing your luggage in the notes helps confirm the right class.
We are travelling with an elderly relative. Will the journey be tiring?
The journey is door to door with no changes: you are met with a name sign at the airport and dropped at the property entrance. For wider, more comfortable seats, choose the Ultra VIP Vito or the seven-seat Ultra VIP Sprinter. If you need a short break on the way, mention it in the notes field of your booking.
Will the car come all the way to the property inside the town?
Yes, we work door to door. On entering Kızkalesi the car leaves the coastal road and drives to the property entrance. Because there are similarly named hotels in town, select the property name exactly in the form and add the address from your confirmation in the notes, so you arrive at the right door.
If we extend our holiday, how do we change the return transfer?
If you booked the return at the outset with "Add return", just send a change request with your new date and flight number through the My Reservation page. If you have not booked the return yet, create a new transfer from the property to Çukurova Airport in the booking form once your date is confirmed.
