A Çukurova Airport to Tan Otel transfer is often the first, short leg of a longer journey. You land, spend a night in Mersin, and move on the next day. The airport is near Tarsus; the hotel is on 5422 Street in the Üçocak neighbourhood of Akdeniz district. This page covers that first leg and how to link it to the day that follows.
Landing: The Plan Follows Your Flight
We track your flight number, and if the plane is delayed the pickup moves to the actual landing time. In arrivals you will see a sign with your name. After a connecting flight and a long day, that simplicity helps.
The only decision is the car. The first leg is short, but you might choose with the next day in mind; if you have bulky luggage or equipment, booking the same class for both days keeps things easy.
The Short Leg: Past Tarsus to Mersin's East Side
The car heads west from the airport towards Mersin. Tarsus falls behind and the road enters the city from the east. Akdeniz district is right on that side, so you do not cross the whole of Mersin to reach the hotel. If you are continuing west towards Silifke the next day, that helps too: the morning drive runs from the city straight onto the coastal road.
The last stretch is specific to this hotel. The car turns off the main road into the side streets of Üçocak and stops outside number 38 on 5422 Street. At night the street is quiet. In the daytime, parked cars can mean the driver stops at the nearest safe point to the door.
Choosing a Car for the Next Day
How far you are going next affects the choice. A few examples:
- A short hop to Adana, one passenger: Business Sedan
- Towards Silifke or Taşucu, two passengers and luggage: Premium Sedan
- A long road to Cappadocia for a family who want to rest: Ultra VIP Vito
- A team of six heading to the Akkuyu area: VIP Vito
- A crew of eight with equipment: Mercedes Vito
- A large family or group continuing to Hatay: Mercedes Sprinter
Prices are per vehicle, not per person. The booking form shows the price of each leg separately by destination and vehicle class.
Back to the Airport at the End of the Tour
Some travellers finish their tour back in Mersin, spend the last night at Tan Otel again and head to the airport in the morning. In that case, add the return with the "Add return" option in the same booking. Work the pickup time back from your flight, allowing for morning traffic and airport formalities.
For more on the hotel's location and onward journeys, see our Tan Otel page. To start, select Çukurova Airport as pickup and Tan Otel as drop-off in the booking form, then enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my connecting flight is delayed?
We track the flight number you enter in the booking. If the final leg of your connection is late, the pickup shifts to the actual landing time. If your flight number changes, for example because you are rebooked onto a different connection, send a change request with the new details through the My Reservation page.
The hotel is on a side street. Will the car reach the door?
Yes. Tan Otel is at number 38 on 5422 Street in Üçocak. Your booking includes the hotel name and street, so the driver comes directly to the door. If cars are parked along the street in the daytime, the driver stops at the safest point nearest the entrance.
Why stay a night instead of going straight to Cappadocia?
That is entirely your choice. After a late landing, many travellers prefer a night in Mersin and a rested start in the morning to a long night drive over the Taurus Mountains. If you would rather go straight there, you can also book a transfer directly from the airport to Cappadocia.
How do I plan the return at the end of my tour?
If you are spending your last night at Tan Otel again, add the return to your arrival booking with the "Add return" option. If your tour ends in another city and you are heading straight to the airport, book a separate transfer from there to Çukurova Airport. Either way, work the pickup back from your flight.
