Hotel Yaka İnn Transfer
Hotel Yaka İnn transfer: door-to-door private cars from this two-star hotel on Alikia Street, Kızkalesi, to the airport and the ruins at Ayaş and Narlıkuyu.
Transfer to Hotel Yaka İnn
Hotel Yaka İnn is a small hotel on Alikia Street in Kızkalesi, listed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as a two-star property. This page is for anyone planning a Hotel Yaka İnn transfer who intends to spend the holiday not just on the beach but among the ruins that ring the town. How to get to Hotel Yaka İnn, which ancient sites are a short ride away, and how to plan arrival and departure days: it is all below.
On the Main Street, Between Two Castles
Several booking sites give the hotel's address on the Silifke–Mersin road where it runs through town, within walking distance of the beach and the sea castle. Being on the main street makes a transfer easy. The car does not have to squeeze into back lanes; it pulls up outside and the bags go straight from the kerb to reception.
Kızkalesi takes its name from the castle on a small island just off the shore. Facing it on land stands the castle of ancient Korykos. The stretch of coast between the two is the most photographed corner of town, and it is right on the hotel's doorstep.
A Hotel for People Who Chase Ruins
A small, simple town hotel suits people who spend the day out. The room is for the evening; the morning starts early. Guests who look at this hotel tend to be:
- Culture travellers working their way through the ancient cities of Cilicia
- Retired couples looking for a quiet coast in spring or autumn
- Couples on a short break who would rather spend their budget on excursions
- Photographers chasing morning light on the castles
What they share is light luggage and a busy itinerary. A sedan is usually all they need.
Short Trips From the Door: Ayaş to Narlıkuyu
Most outings from Hotel Yaka İnn take minutes rather than hours. East at Ayaş lie the remains of Elaiussa Sebaste. West are Narlıkuyu and the Heaven and Hell sinkholes. In the valley behind the town, Adamkayalar has its cliff reliefs. For a longer day, head for Silifke and the road up to Uzuncaburç.
Book each stop as a point-to-point transfer and add the way back with the “Add return” option in the form. If you want to see several places in a day, book the outward and return legs as separate transfers. Flying in? We describe the journey from arrivals to the hotel door on our airport transfer to Hotel Yaka İnn page.
The First Day and the Last
Ask the hotel about check-in before you travel. If you arrive early, you may be able to leave your bags and walk straight to the castles. On departure day, plan backwards: flight time, airport check-in, coastal traffic. Then decide whether there is time for one last walk along the shore.
Prices are per vehicle. Solo travellers and couples are fine in a Business Sedan or Comfort Class, or a Premium Sedan for a little more cabin space. A touring party of four or five fits a VIP Vito. Select Hotel Yaka İnn in the booking form, enter your date and compare the classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What category is Hotel Yaka İnn and where is it?
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism lists it as a two-star hotel. It stands on Alikia Street in Kızkalesi, in the Erdemli district of Mersin, and booking sites place it within walking distance of the beach and the sea castle. As it is on the main street, the transfer car can stop right outside.
How do we get from the hotel to Elaiussa Sebaste?
The remains of Elaiussa Sebaste are at Ayaş, just east of Kızkalesi. Book a point-to-point transfer from the hotel and add the way back with the “Add return” option. If you also want to see the Narlıkuyu sinkholes the same day, book that journey as a separate transfer.
Can we visit Silifke and Uzuncaburç?
Yes. Book a point-to-point transfer from the hotel to Silifke or towards Uzuncaburç. If the destination is not listed in the booking form, write it in the notes. The form shows the price for each vehicle class, and prices are per vehicle rather than per person.
When should we leave for the airport on departure day?
We cannot give a fixed time; it depends on your flight and that day's traffic. Work the pickup back from your departure time, allowing for airport check-in and the heavier coastal traffic on summer weekends. Adding the return to your arrival booking is the simplest way to plan it.
