A Çukurova Airport to Silifke transfer runs almost the full length of the Mersin coast. The airport sits on the Tarsus side; Silifke lies far to the west, where the Göksu river reaches the sea. In between, the road passes the city, threads through one beach town after another and finally opens onto the delta. This page covers the trip from arrivals to your door, the character of the coastal road and how to reach each corner of the district.
Meeting at Arrivals
We follow the flight number in your booking, so a late landing simply moves your pickup. Collect your luggage, walk through the arrivals exit and look for the sign with your name. The car is a few steps away.
Luggage for Silifke tends to be holiday luggage: large cases, beach bags, sometimes a pushchair. Heading on to the Cyprus ferry? Then you will be carrying for two journeys. Choosing the right vehicle makes the rest of the trip easy.
West Along the Coast
The first section uses the main roads around Mersin. Once you leave the city, the greenhouses and citrus groves of Erdemli begin. Then come the sea castle at Kizkalesi, the small cove at Narlıkuyu and a rockier shoreline. In places the road hugs the water; elsewhere it climbs the slopes. The views are the bonus of this route.
On summer weekends, especially Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, traffic can slow through the beach towns. Our drivers know these peaks and plan the trip around them.
Which Silifke Are You Going To?
Your destination shapes the drive. Atakent and Susanoğlu come before the town centre, on the Mersin side. Taşucu lies west of the centre. Boğsak is further along the coast, and Uzuncaburç is inland, up in the hills. That is why it helps to select your hotel when booking, or note the area.
- Holiday home in Atakent or Susanoğlu: address and complex name
- Hotel or ferry in Taşucu: harbour and sailing time
- Motel or pension in Boğsak: property name and phone number
- Business or family visit in the centre: neighbourhood and full address
- Akkuyu crews staying in town: site entrance details or team contact
- Day trip to Uzuncaburç: the time you want to start
Couples suit a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan, families with small children a VIP Vito, and larger families the eight-seat Mercedes Vito. Crews heading towards Akkuyu often use the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle and the booking form shows each class side by side.
The Ferry Connection and Your Return
If you are continuing from Taşucu to Northern Cyprus, remember that ferry days and times change with the season. Check the current schedule before travelling and leave a comfortable gap between your flight and the sailing. Writing the ferry time in the notes helps you choose the right pickup.
Add the return when you book, using the Add return option so both legs sit in one reservation. Work your pickup time back from your departure flight, allowing for summer traffic and check-in. For more about the district itself, the delta and the ancient sites, read our Silifke travel guide. To book, select Çukurova Airport and your Silifke hotel in the form and enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which road do you take from the airport to Silifke?
Usually the main roads around Mersin, followed by the coastal road through Erdemli, Kizkalesi and Narlıkuyu. In places it runs right beside the sea; elsewhere it climbs the hillsides. Drivers pick the route on the day according to traffic, and allow for the extra summer weekend traffic in the beach towns.
Can I land and catch the Taşucu ferry the same day?
That depends on your landing time and the ferry schedule. Sailings change with the season, so check current times first and leave a wide gap between landing and departure. We track your flight and adjust the pickup if it is delayed, but the ferry leaves on its own timetable.
Will the car reach our pension in Boğsak?
We work door to door. Write the pension's name and phone number in the notes so the drop-off point is clear. Some lanes around the cove are narrow for larger vehicles; if so, the car stops at the nearest suitable point. Small parties may find a sedan class handles these roads more easily.
Which vehicle suits a child seat and a pushchair?
A child seat can be added as an extra to any vehicle class; just note your child's age. If you are bringing a pushchair, beach bags and large cases together, the VIP Vito offers more boot space. Two families travelling together fit in the eight-seat Mercedes Vito.
