Mersin Gülnar Transfer
Gülnar private transfer to the mountain town, the Büyükeceli coast and the Akkuyu area, door to door, with roomy vehicles for crews and families.
Transfer to Mersin Gülnar
A Gülnar transfer can mean two very different destinations: one up in the mountains, one by the sea. The district town of Gülnar sits on the slopes of the Taurus west of Mersin, while its coastline runs past Büyükeceli and Akkuyu. Between them lies a winding road through pine forest and small villages. This page explains who travels to Gülnar, what is here and how our private transfers connect it to the wider region.
Mountain Town, Coastal Neighbourhoods
Gülnar town is cool and quiet, a good escape from the humid summer coast. Down by the sea, the main settlement is Büyükeceli, once a separate small town and now a neighbourhood of Gülnar. Getting from one side of the district to the other is not obvious if you do not know the area.
A few hotels here are already in our system, among them Kupala Beach Hotel, Polaris Otel and Ulu Resort Hotel. Just put your hotel's name in the notes.
Life Next to Akkuyu
The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant lies within Gülnar district, southwest of Büyükeceli. The project has changed daily life here. Engineers, technical crews, contractors' staff and visiting inspection teams now pass through constantly. Many are in Turkey for the first time.
What they need is simple. The right door at the right time. People on long assignments also travel heavy: several suitcases, work equipment, sometimes months of belongings. A solo traveller is fine in a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan; teams are better in a VIP Vito or the eight-seat Mercedes Vito.
- Plant staff, Turkish and international, arriving for a rotation
- Contractor crews moving between Akkuyu, Silifke and Mersin
- Gülnar families who live elsewhere and come home for holidays
- Guests at the coastal hotels around Büyükeceli
- History lovers heading for Meydancık Castle
- Visiting delegations who need to reach a meeting on time
An Old Castle on an Old Road
South of Gülnar stands Meydancık Castle, a site whose origins go back to the Luwians. It sits on an ancient route linking the Mediterranean coast with inland Anatolia. A large hoard of coins found during excavations is now displayed in the Silifke Museum. It makes a quiet, rewarding half-day trip.
Where We Drive From Gülnar
We take passengers from Gülnar to Silifke, Taşucu, Mersin city and Adana. Staff based near Akkuyu often head into Mersin for meetings or down to the beach towns at weekends. We work door to door, so pickup is from your accommodation, hotel or home. For the airport leg in detail, including the route and vehicle advice, see our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Gülnar.
Prices are per vehicle, not per person, so a crew sharing one car splits the cost. Choose Gülnar in the booking form, say in the notes whether you need the town or the coast, and compare vehicle classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to say whether I am going to Gülnar town or Büyükeceli?
Yes, it matters. Gülnar town is on the Taurus slopes, while Büyükeceli and the Akkuyu area are on the coast, with a mountain road between them. Select Gülnar in the booking form and write the neighbourhood, hotel or accommodation name in the notes so the driver can plan the right route and drop you at your door.
Can Akkuyu staff book transfers for each rotation?
Each trip can be booked through the booking form on our site. To plan outbound and return together, use the "Add return" option so both legs sit in one reservation. Teams can travel together in a VIP Vito, Mercedes Vito or Mercedes Sprinter. You can view all your bookings on the My Reservation page.
Can we visit Meydancık Castle?
Yes. Book a point-to-point transfer from your accommodation in Gülnar to Meydancık Castle, south of the town, and add the way back with the "Add return" option in the same reservation. If you would like to see the coins found at the site, you can plan a separate transfer to the Silifke Museum.
I have a lot of luggage for a long assignment. Which vehicle?
One traveller with a few suitcases and some work equipment usually fits well in a Premium Sedan. If the luggage is bulky or several colleagues arrive together, a VIP Vito or the eight-seat Mercedes Vito offers much more room. Note your number of bags in the booking so the right class is easy to choose.
