A Çukurova Airport to Tasucu Ferry Port transfer links two modes of travel: a plane and a boat. The airport sits on the Tarsus side of Mersin, while Taşucu lies at the western end of the Mersin coast, right next to Silifke. Between them runs the whole coastline. This page walks you through the drive and the one thing that matters most: the gap between your flight and your sailing.
Confirm the Sailing First
Order matters on this route. Sailings between Taşucu and Kyrenia have been irregular recently, and times can change. Before booking the transfer, confirm your sailing with the ferry operator. An uncertain sailing means an uncertain pickup time.
Once the sailing is confirmed, the rest is simple. Put your flight number and departure time of the boat in the notes. We track the flight and shift the pickup if the plane is late. The boat, however, will not wait for a delayed flight. The margin is in your hands.
Building in Enough Time
This is a long coastal drive. When choosing your flight, add up these steps:
- Time at the baggage belt, especially at busy hours
- The road from the airport past Mersin and along the coast to Silifke
- Slower traffic through beach towns on summer weekends
- The check-in and ticketing time the operator asks for, which is longer if you travel with a car
If the total looks tight, pick an earlier flight, or spend a night in Silifke or Taşucu and take the next day's boat. A spare hour costs less than a missed sailing.
The Road and the Right Vehicle
After the airport come the wide roads around Tarsus and Mersin, then the coast road west of the city. You pass Erdemli's greenhouses, the sea castle at Kizkalesi, the cove at Narlıkuyu and the beach at Atakent before Silifke and finally Taşucu. For most of the way the sea is beside you.
Students and families heading to Cyprus usually travel heavy. One person with two suitcases fits a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan. With boxes, choose a VIP Vito; several students on the same boat can share the eight-seat Mercedes Vito. Prices are per vehicle and every class appears side by side in the booking form.
Coming Back From the Island
If you return from Cyprus by sea and need to reach the airport, put the boat's arrival time and your onward flight in the notes. If the sailing is retimed, send a change request through the My Reservation page. To keep both directions in one booking, use the "Add return" option in the booking form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I miss the boat if my flight is late?
We track your flight and move the pickup to match the actual landing, but the boat's departure is set by the operator and does not change for a late flight. Leave a generous gap between landing and sailing. If the margin looks tight, choose an earlier flight or plan a night in Taşucu before crossing.
What should I check before booking the transfer?
First confirm with the ferry operator that your sailing is running and at what time, because services on this route have been irregular recently. Once confirmed, book the transfer and note both your flight number and the boat's departure time. If the sailing changes, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
Can you take us from the port to the airport after Cyprus?
Yes. You can book a transfer from Tasucu Ferry Port to Çukurova Airport. Write the boat's scheduled arrival time and your flight time in the notes, and if the boat runs late, send a change request through the My Reservation page. Allow a comfortable gap between docking and your flight.
