Tekir Plateau Transfer
Tekir Plateau private transfer to Adana's cool summer highland near Pozantı, with door-to-door trips to Adana, Mersin and towards Cappadocia.
Transfer to Tekir Plateau
A Tekir Plateau transfer usually comes up when the Adana summer turns heavy and humid. This highland area in the Pozantı district of Adana sits on the cool slopes of the Taurus Mountains, and city families have been spending their summers up here for generations. Below we explain what the plateau is like, who stays there and how our private transfers link it with the rest of the region.
Where Adana Goes to Breathe
In Adana, going up to the yayla is less a holiday than a seasonal habit. Schools close, half the house gets packed, and the family moves to the mountains. Tekir is one of the classic destinations. The sun is still strong at midday, but the shade feels different. Nights are cool. After weeks of sticky August nights on the plain, people find themselves reaching for a blanket again.
Tekir is also easy to reach. It lies a short distance from Pozantı, close to the main highway heading towards Ankara, so you get mountain air without being cut off. Shops and the district centre are nearby, which is why families who work in Adana during the week can still come up every weekend.
Old Stones on Tekir Hill
On the hill that shares the plateau's name stand the remains of the İbrahim Paşa Tabyaları, 19th-century fortifications built beside the road through the mountains. They are a reminder that this corridor across the Taurus has been a crossing point between Anatolia and the Mediterranean for a very long time. Today the traffic is trucks and family cars. For centuries it was caravans and armies.
Plenty of summer residents never walk up to see them. A late-afternoon stroll is enough.
Who You Meet Up Here
- Adana families who spend the whole summer on the plateau and move their belongings up every June
- Weekenders escaping the city heat
- Adult children bringing elderly parents somewhere cooler
- Walkers and photographers drawn to the Taurus scenery
For two people on a weekend trip, a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan is enough. A family of five or six with boxes and cool bags travels well in a VIP Vito. When the extended family moves together, the eight-seat Mercedes Vito or the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter keeps everyone in one vehicle.
Getting Around From the Plateau
Most requests are for Adana city and the airport. We also drive guests to Mersin, Tarsus and Pozantı town. Because the plateau faces north along the mountain corridor, it is a good starting point for Cappadocia too; Niğde and Nevşehir are within our service area. Pickup is from the door of your summer house. For the airport leg, including vehicle choice and planning the return, see our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Tekir Plateau.
Prices are per vehicle, not per person. Choose Tekir Plateau in the booking form, enter your date and compare vehicle classes. A child seat can be added as an extra.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is Tekir Plateau?
Tekir Plateau is a summer highland area in the Pozantı district of Adana province, on the slopes of the Taurus Mountains. It is a short distance from Pozantı town and close to the main highway towards Ankara. Adana families have long used it to escape the heat of the plain, and its nights are noticeably cooler than the city.
Can we travel from the plateau to Cappadocia with you?
Yes. Niğde and Nevşehir are within our service area, so you can book a point-to-point transfer from Tekir Plateau towards Cappadocia. Select Tekir Plateau as pickup and your destination as drop-off in the booking form. If you need to come back, use the Add return option to put both legs in one booking.
We move up for the summer with lots of luggage. Which vehicle should we choose?
A family of five or six with boxes, cool bags and suitcases usually fits well in a VIP Vito. If there is a lot of luggage or a larger family is travelling, the eight-seat Mercedes Vito or fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter gives much more room. Since prices are per vehicle, sharing one car lowers the cost for each person.
Can I change my booking later?
Yes, you can view your booking on the My Reservation page and send a change request from there. If your date for coming down from the plateau moves, or more people join the trip, let us know through that page. Our team reviews the request and updates the plan to match the new details.
