Set on a high plateau north of Kahramanmaraş, Afşin is known for its lignite deposits, thermal power plants and the Eshab-ı Kehf complex. A VIP transfer from Çukurova Airport to Afşin is a long intercity route through Kahramanmaraş and over mountain passes to the plateau. Passengers include energy engineers, mine and plant staff and pilgrims visiting the complex. The climate shifts noticeably along the way, from the mild coast to a cooler continental feel.
Afşin is a distinctive inland Anatolian town built on the edge of a high, wide plain north of Kahramanmaraş. The area around the town bears traces of the settlement known in antiquity as Arabissos, showing that the region has a long history. Those coming to visit the shrine complex experience both the town's spiritual atmosphere and the quiet village life around it, and visitor numbers rise noticeably during religious holidays and holy nights. Energy production and mining play a big role in the economy, so the town has staff housing and accommodation for engineers and technical personnel. Wheat, sugar beet and livestock are common on the plain. Afşin's hand-woven carpets and kilims are also an important part of local culture. Winters are long, cold and snowy, while summers are mild and dry with cool nights. The town centre has restaurants, a market and basic services. Packing warm clothes suited to the season before you come is wise.
The drive from Çukurova Airport to Afşin is about 346 km by road and takes 280–335 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.
Snow and ice are possible on plateau roads in winter; if you are going to a plant or mine site, confirm visitor access with your company beforehand.
The Afşin VIP transfer route starts east from the airport on the motorway past Adana and, after Osmaniye, branches north towards Kahramanmaraş. The road is wide and orderly as far as Kahramanmaraş, after which it climbs north through mountain passes. In this section, bends, climbs and forested slopes follow one another, and the air cools noticeably as you gain height. Beyond the passes, the road rises onto the broad plateau and opens up again. As the route is long, a break around Kahramanmaraş is recommended. In winter, snow and ice may affect the passes, so the vehicle is fitted with winter tyres and the pace is adjusted to road conditions.
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.
