A Çukurova Airport to Tayfun Hotel transfer takes you from the plane to İskele, the seaside quarter of Anamur, ending on a lane a few steps from the beach. Most of the drive follows Mersin's coastline; the last part runs through a beach neighbourhood that fills up in summer. Here is how the journey works for beach holidaymakers, from choosing a car to planning the trip home.
From the Baggage Belt to Your Name Sign
Summer flights are busy, and so is the baggage belt. Take your time. We track the flight number in your booking, so if the plane is late, the pickup shifts to the real landing time. At the arrivals exit, look for the sign with your name.
Travelling with children? Add a child seat to the booking as an extra. At the start of a long drive, a small passenger sitting comfortably in the right seat makes the trip easier for everyone.
What the Summer Road Is Like
The car heads west from the airport towards Mersin on the wide roads around the city, then follows the coast through Erdemli and Silifke. After Taşucu, the mountains reach down to the sea. The road twists through Aydıncık and Bozyazı, and in summer, especially at weekends, the entrances to these towns can get busy.
After entering Anamur from the east, the car drops south of the centre into İskele. The final stretch is specific to this hotel: off the roads running parallel to the beach, into 1710 Sokak and up to the door. On summer evenings the seafront fills with people and cars, so the last few hundred metres can be slow.
Pick a Car for Beach Luggage
Beach holiday luggage is always bigger than the head count suggests. Inflatable rings, a parasol, extra towels. Choose with that in mind:
- A couple with two cases: Business Sedan
- A couple who want more cabin space: Premium Sedan
- A family of four with beach gear: VIP Vito
- A family who want to arrive rested after the long drive: Ultra VIP Vito
- Two families holidaying together: Mercedes Vito
- A group of friends or a big extended family: Mercedes Sprinter
- One to three passengers travelling light: Comfort Class
Prices are per vehicle, which brings the cost per head down a lot for bigger parties. The booking form shows every class side by side.
Last Day: One More Swim, Then the Airport
On the final day, many people want one more swim. You can, as long as the timing works. Set the pickup by working back from your flight, allowing for the long drive from Anamur, summer weekend traffic and airport check-in. Keep a separate bag handy for wet swimwear.
The return needs no separate booking. The “Add return” option adds the hotel-to-airport leg to the same reservation. For the hotel's location in İskele and trips you can take from there, see our page on how to get to Tayfun Hotel. To start, select Çukurova Airport and Tayfun Hotel in the booking form and enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the car get into the lane in İskele?
The transfer is door to door. According to the address on booking sites, Tayfun Hotel is on 1710 Sokak in İskele, and the car comes right to the hotel. On summer evenings, pedestrians and traffic along the seafront can make the last few hundred metres a little slower.
We have lots of beach gear. Which vehicle fits it?
For a family of four with beach equipment, the VIP Vito offers generous luggage space. Two families together suit the eight-seat Mercedes Vito, and bigger groups the Mercedes Sprinter. Sedan classes are fine for couples travelling with only a couple of suitcases.
Does the drive take longer on summer weekends?
On summer weekends traffic can build up leaving Mersin and at the entrances to the coastal towns, adding time to the journey. Allow for that when choosing your return pickup time. On arrival, flight tracking adjusts the pickup to your actual landing time.
If we extend our holiday, how do we change the return?
If you added the return with the “Add return” option, send a change request through the My Reservation page with the new date and time. Sending it once your new flight is confirmed means the pickup can be planned correctly around that flight.
