Known for its waterfalls, laurel trees and riverside restaurants, Harbiye is a cool retreat just south of Antakya. A VIP transfer from Çukurova Airport to Harbiye is a long intercity drive, passing İskenderun, crossing the Belen pass onto the Amik Plain and continuing through Antakya. Visitors are usually history lovers tracing ancient Daphne, families on a weekend break and travellers keen on local cuisine. After Belen, the scenery opens up between plain and mountains.
In Harbiye, water is at the centre of everything: springs from the hills spill into the valley as small waterfalls, and the surrounding tea gardens and restaurants set their tables beside it. Known in antiquity as Daphne, the place is linked to the legend of the nymph who turned into a laurel tree, and laurel still grows abundantly here. Laurel soap and oils are the souvenirs visitors buy most often. The area's mosaic tradition is strong too; many mosaics displayed in the museum in Antakya came from old villas around here. In summer, Harbiye is where families escaping Antakya's heat look for evening cool, and crowds grow noticeably at weekends. Although the neighbourhood was affected by the reconstruction process, waterside venues keep reopening. In spring the valley fills with flowers, while autumn brings an ideal mood for quiet walks. Tray kebab, hummus and künefe top the local menu. Booking a waterside table for dinner is a good idea, especially at weekends and holidays.
The drive from Çukurova Airport to Harbiye is about 235 km by road and takes 185–225 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.
Vehicle access in the narrow lanes around the falls can be limited, especially on summer evenings and holidays, so a drop-off point on the main road usually saves time.
The first part of this long journey runs east from the airport on the motorway past Adana. At the Osmaniye junction it turns south and follows the shore of the Gulf of İskenderun, with the sea on the right for a while. After İskenderun the road climbs the Belen pass and then drops onto the Amik plain. Past Antakya, the vehicle heads south into the Asi valley and reaches Harbiye after a short climb. A break along the gulf or before Belen is recommended. On night arrivals, getting out at a point on the main road is more practical than entering the narrow streets around the waterfalls. After Belen, the flat Amik plain offers a relaxing change after the long climb.
On a long drive, boot space and legroom matter most: the E-Class for 1–3 people, the Vito VIP for 4–6, and the Vito or Sprinter for larger families and groups. Current prices for each vehicle class are in the table on this page, where you can pick a vehicle and book directly.
Some passengers heading to Harbiye are couples and families on weekend getaways; they usually book a return trip and set the pick-up for after dinner. Groups on archaeology and history tours use VIP Minibus Rental to see both Harbiye and the museums in Antakya in one vehicle. Those wanting a full day of local food prefer Hourly Chauffeured Car Rental. For guests arriving from abroad, a name sign is prepared with Meet & Greet Transfer. When booking a Çukurova Airport Harbiye transfer, child seat requests should be stated in advance. The Harbiye VIP transfer is also chosen by large families coming for a celebration meal.
We recommend being at the airport 2 hours before domestic and 3 hours before international departures. Leaving from Harbiye, that means setting off at about 08.00 for a 14:00 domestic flight and about 07.00 for an international one (including a 15-minute traffic buffer). You can add the return leg to the same booking.
