A Çukurova Airport to Yapraklı Palm Beach Otel transfer covers everything between a family stepping off the plane and arriving at the cove. The airport is near Tarsus; the hotel is past Mersin and Erdemli, in Atakent in the Silifke district, at Yapraklı Koy. Here is the journey from a family's point of view, from the baggage belt to the hotel door.
From the Baggage Belt to the Car
With children, the longest part of any flight is waiting at the baggage belt. Take your time. We track your flight, so if it is delayed the pickup moves to the actual landing. In arrivals, look for the sign with your name on it.
If you added a child seat to the booking, it is already fitted. No fighting with straps in the car park. Cases in the boot, children buckled in, and off you go.
From the City to the Cove
The car heads west towards Mersin, first on the wide ring roads, then along the coast once the city is behind you. After Erdemli the road runs right beside the sea. The castle standing in the water at Kızkalesi tends to be the moment the children start pointing. Past Narlıkuyu, you are in Atakent.
The last few hundred metres are particular to this hotel. The car leaves the coastal road, winds through the streets of Atakent onto 3rd Street and stops at the entrance. Because the hotel is off the main road, being driven to the door instead of walking from a bus stop makes a real difference with luggage and little ones. On summer weekends, leaving Mersin and passing through the beach towns can be slow, and the children may want a break.
A Vehicle That Fits the Family
Families on a beach holiday rarely travel light. Inflatables, an umbrella, a pushchair, spare clothes. Choose accordingly:
- A small family with a baby and two cases: Premium Sedan
- A family of four or five with a pushchair: VIP Vito
- Those who prefer a more comfortable cabin: Ultra VIP Vito
- Three generations together: the eight-seat Mercedes Vito
- Several families sharing a holiday: Mercedes Sprinter
- A group that values comfort: the seven-seat Ultra VIP Sprinter
Prices are per vehicle. The booking form lists every class side by side, and the bigger the family, the lower the cost per person.
Check-In and Departure Day
Land in the morning and you may arrive before rooms are ready, so ask the hotel about check-in in advance. On an evening flight the children may fall asleep on the way, which is when a roomy vehicle really earns its keep.
The return needs no separate booking. Use "Add return" in the booking form to include the hotel-to-airport leg. Work the pickup time back from your flight, leaving room for the drive through Mersin, summer traffic and airport check-in. For more about the cove and day trips from the hotel, see our Yapraklı Palm Beach Otel page.
Completing the Booking
Select Çukurova Airport as the pickup and Yapraklı Palm Beach Otel as the drop-off. Add your flight number, the number of passengers and any child seats you need. Afterwards, the My Reservation page lets you view the booking and send a change request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the car drive right up to the hotel at Yapraklı Koy?
Yes. The hotel is on 3rd Street inside Atakent. The car turns off the coastal road into the town, takes the side street and stops outside the entrance. We work door to door, so you will not be left on the main road with children and suitcases. The hotel name is in the booking, so no directions are needed.
How do we add a child seat?
Choose a child seat as an extra in the booking form. Writing your child's age in the notes helps us prepare the right seat. It will be fitted when the car meets you at the airport, so there is no setting up in the car park. If you have more than one child, list each seat separately.
Can we stop on the way?
The coastal drive to Atakent is a long one, and small children may need a quick comfort break. Just tell the driver during the journey. If you want a proper stop, such as visiting a site along the way, plan the trip as separate point-to-point transfers for each leg instead.
How early should we leave for the airport on the way home?
Work the pickup time back from your flight. Allow for the long coastal road, the drive through Mersin, summer traffic and airport check-in. With children, a little extra margin makes the last morning far calmer. You can add the return to your original booking with the "Add return" option.
