Çukurova Airport – Tarsus VIP Transfer

At Çukurova Airport VIP Transfer your trip to Tarsus starts the moment your plane lands. Havamaş and Havaş shuttle buses leave at set times for set stops, so after getting off you still need a second ride to your address in Tarsus. With us, your driver tracks your flight, meets you at arrivals, loads your luggage and takes you straight to your door. At Adana Çukurova Airport, choose a VIP transfer instead of Havamaş and travel at ease.

Tarsus guide: what awaits you on arrival

The most enjoyable part of a visit to Tarsus is walking the narrow streets lined with old Tarsus houses; some of the restored stone mansions now serve as cafés, boutique hotels and cultural venues. The Grand Mosque and the historic buildings around it form a short walking route together with the bazaar. The Berdan River, which flows through town, and the area around the waterfall are a favorite stop for those wanting to cool off in summer. The reservoir and picnic areas north of town are popular for weekend picnics. Tarsus has an economy where farming and industry are intertwined, with the organized industrial zone and farming businesses spread around the city. Local cuisine features şalgam, cezerye and kebabs. Summers are long and hot, winters mild, and spring, scented with orange blossom, is the most pleasant season. Hotel options in the center are limited, but boutique accommodation is growing. On weekends the historic area gets busier with local visitors, so weekday mornings suit a calmer visit. In the evening, cafés in the historic quarter offer a pleasant setting for a short break.
