The final minutes of a Çukurova Airport to Mersin Taflan Otel transfer are the least familiar part of the route: the turn off the coast road into Atakent, then 4th Street. Everything before that is straightforward, from the airport to Mersin and on along the shore to Kızkalesi and Narlıkuyu. Here is how the journey runs from landing to the door of this small hotel, and which car will suit you.
Your Name on the Sign
Add your flight number to the booking and we track the flight. If the plane is late, the pickup follows the landing time, so a delay will not cost you your ride. As you walk out of arrivals, look for the sign with your name.
Once you reach the car the route is set. Bags go in the back and you are off.
The Coast Road and the Turn Into Atakent
The car heads west from the airport towards Mersin, using the wide roads around the city. After Mersin comes the coast road: Erdemli's greenhouses, the castle in the sea at Kızkalesi, then a winding stretch that follows the rocky shore towards Narlıkuyu.
Just past Narlıkuyu is Atakent, where the journey enters the part that belongs to this hotel alone. The car leaves the coast road, turns into the settlement, finds 4th Street and stops outside Taflan Otel. Short, but different from the main road. On summer evenings the lanes can be busy; the car still comes to the door.
A Small Hotel, a Car to Match
Guests at a small hotel rarely need a big vehicle. A larger group changes the maths, though.
- A solo traveller or a couple: Business Sedan
- Two or three people wanting a little more room: Comfort Class or Premium Sedan
- A family with suitcases and a pushchair: VIP Vito
- A group of friends of up to eight: Mercedes Vito
For groups of up to fifteen there is also the Mercedes Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle, the booking form shows every class side by side, and child seats can be added as an extra.
Match the Flight to Check-In, and the Return to the Flight
On a morning flight you may arrive before rooms are ready. Talk to the hotel about check-in; leaving your bags and heading to the cove may be possible. For the hotel's place in Atakent and nearby sights, see our Mersin Taflan Otel page.
No separate booking is needed for the way back. Use "Add return" in the booking form to add the hotel-to-airport leg to the same reservation. Set your pickup time back from your flight, allowing for the winding stretch between Narlıkuyu and Kızkalesi and traffic around Mersin. To start, choose Çukurova Airport as pickup and Mersin Taflan Otel as drop-off, then enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
The hotel is on a side street. Can the car reach the door?
Yes. The hotel is on 4th Street inside Atakent. The car leaves the coast road, turns into the settlement, enters the street and drops you outside. Because we work door to door, the same car takes you from the airport to the hotel entrance, and the address in your booking means no directions are needed.
Which places does the route pass through?
The car first heads towards Mersin on the wide roads around the city. It then follows the coast road past Erdemli and Kızkalesi and along a winding stretch of rocky shoreline to Narlıkuyu. Atakent comes straight after Narlıkuyu, where the car turns off into the settlement.
I am travelling alone. Which car should I choose?
For a single passenger the Business Sedan is a practical choice. If you would like a roomier cabin for the drive, look at the Premium Sedan. We price per vehicle, not per person, so compare the classes side by side in the booking form and pick the one that suits your budget and luggage.
What if my flight changes after I book?
Open the My Reservation page to view your booking and send a change request with your new flight details. With the correct flight number in place, tracking follows the right flight. For smaller shifts such as a delay, the pickup time already adjusts to the actual landing time.
