Transfer to Bitlis
The Bitlis Route: Lake Nemrut Crater and Ahlat in the Van Lake Basin
Bitlis is known for the Nemrut Crater Lake, Tatvan on the shore of Lake Van, the Seljuk cemetery at Ahlat and Bitlis Castle. By road from Çukurova Airport it is a very long journey from the south of the country to the Lake Van basin in the east. For this reason most travellers prefer to fly to airports of neighbouring provinces. A transfer from Çukurova to Bitlis is not a common request, yet a single vehicle may make sense for photography and nature groups on an eastern tour, families going home for a holiday, or people who finish business around Adana and Mersin and move east. Çukurova Airport VIP Transfer meets you with a name sign and accompanies you to your address.
Ways to Reach Bitlis
- VIP transfer: no changes, to Bitlis centre, Tatvan, Ahlat, Adilcevaz or any address.
- Shuttle and coach: a chain of many legs, each with a new ticket, a wait and luggage handling.
- Flying: for most passengers flying to a neighbouring province's airport is shorter.
- Rental car: an option for confident drivers who want several days in the east.
A Flexible Route
For a faraway goal like Bitlis, a shuttle only takes you the first step of the way. Flexibility matters for nature groups: catching daylight at the Nemrut Crater Lake or taking a break at Ahlat should be planned without depending on a departure time. In a private car route, breaks and overnight stops are set in advance through the booking note.
