Silifke Transfer

The Road to Silifke Starts in the Arrivals Hall

People bound for Silifke come for many reasons: natives of the Göksu valley heading home for the holidays, culture travellers seeking Silifke Castle, Uzuncaburç and the Narlıkuyu area, families opening up a summer house, and passengers catching a ferry from Taşucu to Northern Cyprus. At Mersin's western end, Silifke is a long way from Çukurova Airport, and everyone landing knows it. Çukurova Airport VIP Transfer has a driver at arrivals holding a name sign so that the road is one vehicle, with no change and no haggling.

How to Get from Çukurova Airport to Silifke

Silifke lies a long way west of central Mersin along the coast road. Traffic and season change the time, so expect a substantial journey. Options:

• VIP transfer – on a long ride, the big benefit is one vehicle to your door and the freedom to stop on the way.
• Shuttle (Havamaş) plus bus or minibus – first to Mersin or the nearest stop, then a second vehicle to Silifke: two journeys and a bag transfer.
• Taxi – at the terminal; a long-distance metered total is hard to guess.
• Car rental – a good fit if you will tour the coast.

A Comfortable Seat on the Long Coast Road

For anyone who knows the Silifke road is long, the most valuable thing is staying in one vehicle from start to finish. Rather than Havamaş followed by another vehicle, choose a VIP transfer and relax. If a child needs water or a toilet break the car stops, and an older passenger can rest on request. If your accommodation is far from the centre, the car leaves you at the complex, and for a Cyprus ferry it goes up to the quay entrance.

A Shuttle with a Change Versus a Private Car

When a Private Car Stands Out on the Silifke Route

• Cyprus ferry: if you are going to the Taşucu quay, say so in the booking note; the vehicle gets close to the entrance.
• Summer-house residents: cases, groceries and children's things all travel in one vehicle.
• Sightseeing: if you plan to see Silifke Castle, Uzuncaburç or Narlıkuyu, talk through stopping points with the driver.
• Late arrivals: reach Silifke at hours when public transport has stopped.

Planning Notes

When you book, give the Silifke neighbourhood and street, or the name of your holiday complex. For a ferry, leave generous time between landing and sailing; a connection cannot be guaranteed. You can pay in the car by cash or card, or by bank transfer, and the form on this page is ready when you are.
