A Çukurova Airport to Saon Butik Hotel transfer ends in Ayaş, just before you would reach Kızkalesi. On the last stretch, the ruins of ancient Elaiussa Sebaste appear by the roadside, and the hotel is inside this shoreline neighbourhood on Kuruş Sokak. This page follows the journey from the airport to the hotel door, including the distinctive view on those final kilometres.
The Meeting Comes First
Just add your flight number to the booking and we track the flight. If the plane is late, the pickup moves to the landing time; if it is early, likewise. Collect your bags, walk out through arrivals and look for the sign with your name.
Guests heading to a boutique hotel usually travel light, often as a couple. The meeting is quick. A few minutes later you are on the road.
From Greenhouses to Columns
From the airport the car heads towards Mersin on the wide roads around the city. After Mersin the coastal road begins, running through greenhouses and citrus orchards as far as Erdemli. Beyond central Erdemli the shoreline neighbourhoods follow, and after Limonlu you approach Ayaş.
Entering Ayaş, the scenery changes. Greenhouses give way to ancient stonework: columns, tombs, the outline of a theatre on the slope. The car leaves the main road, turns into the neighbourhood onto Kuruş Sokak and stops outside the hotel. You arrive a few minutes earlier than you would in Kızkalesi.
Two People, Light Bags, the Right Sedan
Vehicle choice on this route is usually simple, but a few details matter.
- Business Sedan: practical for two people with cabin-size bags
- Premium Sedan: a roomier cabin and a more restful ride after a long flight
- Comfort Class: for three people, or for anyone with camera gear
- VIP Vito: for a small touring group of four to six
Prices are per vehicle, not per person. The booking form lists the classes side by side.
A Calm Arrival, a Planned Return
On a late-afternoon flight you may reach Ayaş close to sunset, when low light falls across the ruins and makes the final stretch memorable for the right reasons. Ask the hotel about check-in beforehand; reception arrangements vary between boutique hotels. For more on the hotel's spot in Ayaş and the history trips you can take from it, see our Saon Butik Hotel page.
The return needs no separate booking. Use the “Add return” option to put the hotel-to-airport leg in the same reservation. Choose the pickup time by working back from your flight, leaving room for the coast road and the Mersin stretch. To book, select Çukurova Airport and Saon Butik Hotel in the form and enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the road to Ayaş the same as the road to Kızkalesi?
Largely, yes. The car heads towards Mersin, then follows the coastal road through Erdemli and its shoreline neighbourhoods. Ayaş lies just east of Kızkalesi, so you reach it first. In Ayaş the car turns off the main road to the hotel on Kuruş Sokak.
Will the car reach the hotel on Kuruş Sokak?
We work door to door, so the car comes to the hotel entrance. The hotel is on Kuruş Sokak in the Ayaş neighbourhood, and the car stops right outside. The hotel name is in your booking, so the driver has the address and you do not need to give directions.
We are bringing camera equipment. Which vehicle suits us?
Two people with a few equipment bags usually fit well in a Comfort Class or Premium Sedan. With a tripod, large bags and several suitcases, a VIP Vito gives much more luggage space. You can compare the prices of each class in the booking form.
Can we change our booking?
You can view your booking and send a change request through the My Reservation page. If your flight time or date changes, pass on the new details there. If you added the return with the “Add return” option, both journeys appear in the same reservation.
