As its name suggests, Antakya Ottoman Hotel draws on the city's historic character. A VIP transfer from Çukurova Airport to Antakya Ottoman Hotel is a long drive that crosses the Çukurova plain eastwards, skirts the Gulf of İskenderun, climbs the Amanos range and descends into Antakya. Guests include families visiting relatives, travellers interested in culture and food, and professionals working on projects in the city. The mountain section is scenic but calls for careful driving.
Antakya is known as a city where different faiths have shared the same streets for centuries, and most guests at the Ottoman Hotel come to see this multicultural heritage. The Church of St. Peter, carved into the mountainside on the city's northeast edge, is considered one of the oldest sites in Christian history and draws pilgrims. The Habib-i Neccar Mosque near the historic bazaar and the city's old places of worship are among the buildings being restored. Toward Samandağ in the southwest, the Titus Tunnel and rock tombs at Çevlik and the village of Vakıflı at the foot of Musa Dağı make popular day trips. Where the Orontes reaches the sea, coast and farmland intertwine. Visitors should know that some historic sites may be partly closed for restoration, so checking current visiting hours beforehand is useful. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for touring. In the evening, meze-rich tables at local restaurants, where conversation stretches on, are a traditional habit.
The drive from Çukurova Airport to Antakya Ottoman Hotel is about 223 km by road and takes 180–220 minutes in normal traffic. At this distance your driver plans a short rest stop; for the long drive the roomy Vito VIP is the most comfortable choice.
Streets in Antakya's older quarters can be narrow; if the car cannot reach the door, the driver stops at the nearest suitable point and helps with your luggage.
The first half of the journey runs along the motorway east from the airport across the broad Çukurova plain. Turning south after Osmaniye, the historic complex at Payas can be seen near the road, and soon after the route descends to the Gulf of İskenderun. After İskenderun the road climbing the Belen pass winds between pine forests and rocky slopes. Past the pass, the city gradually appears as the road descends into the Orontes valley. The İskenderun seafront suits a break on the way from Çukurova Airport to Antakya Ottoman Hotel. At night the mountain section is taken carefully at a steady pace.
For an easy drop-off at the hotel entrance we suggest the E-Class for one or two travellers and the Vito VIP for families; a Sprinter takes groups of 10–15 in one run. Current prices for each vehicle class are in the table on this page, where you can pick a vehicle and book directly.
Visitors to the Ottoman Hotel include pilgrim groups on faith tours, cultural travellers, families visiting relatives and professionals working on projects in the city. For pilgrim and cultural groups, VIP Minibus Rental carries the whole group in one vehicle and can also be used for trips to St. Peter's Church and Samandağ.
