Airport Transportation in Izmir

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Izmir takes you from Adnan Menderes Airport to hotels and apartments in Alsancak, Konak and Karşıyaka, to the cruise port, west to Çeşme and Alaçatı, and south to Selçuk, Ephesus and Kuşadası.

Izmir Airport Transfers

Izmir airport transfers start at the arrivals exit of the terminal where your flight lands, the International Terminal for flights from abroad or the Domestic Terminal for flights within Turkey, and your driver waits there with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for each vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Izmir airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in the city, to the beach hotels and villas of Çeşme and Alaçatı, or to Selçuk and Kuşadası. Heading on to Pamukkale or Didim? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route.

Izmir Airport Shuttle

Our Izmir airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared bus that stops at the city bus station or other hotels. It leaves as soon as you have your bags and suits families, groups and travelers heading to the coast with plenty of luggage.

Landing at Izmir Airport

İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) stands in Gaziemir, south of İzmir, and TAV Airports runs it. It has two terminals linked by a walkway: the International Terminal, for flights from abroad, and the Domestic Terminal, for flights from Istanbul, Ankara and other Turkish cities.

On an international flight you go through passport control, then baggage claim and customs before reaching the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers at the exit. Domestic arrivals skip passport control. ATMs, a bank and a currency exchange are on the international arrivals level.

Turkey is on Turkey Time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving time, and uses the Turkish lira.

Entry requirements and local notes

Visa or e-Visa. US, UK and Canadian ordinary passport holders can visit Turkey visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Other nationalities may need an e-Visa from the official evisa.gov.tr site, so check the rules for your passport before you fly.

Passport validity. Your passport generally needs to be valid for at least 60 days beyond the end of your permitted stay.

Two terminals. The International and Domestic Terminals are separate, so give your airline and arrival terminal when you book; your driver waits at that terminal's arrivals exit.

Bodrum is a different airport. For Bodrum and its peninsula, flights land at Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV), so check the code on your ticket and see our Bodrum airport transportation page.

Izmir Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Izmir Airport?

At the arrivals exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. Izmir has an International Terminal and a Domestic Terminal, so give your arrival terminal when you book.

How far is Izmir Airport from the city center?

İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport is in Gaziemir, about 14 km (9 miles) south of the city center, usually a 20 to 30 minute drive to Konak or Alsancak outside rush hour. Çeşme and Alaçatı are about 85 km west, a drive of 60 to 80 minutes, and Kuşadası about 70 to 80 km south, roughly 60 to 75 minutes.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Izmir?

Flights from abroad arrive at the International Terminal and flights from within Turkey, such as from Istanbul or Ankara, at the Domestic Terminal. If you connect in Istanbul on a domestic leg, you land at the Domestic Terminal.

Can you take me to Çeşme or Alaçatı?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels, villas and apartments in Çeşme, Alaçatı, Ilıca and the beaches along the peninsula.

Can you take me to Kuşadası or Ephesus?

Yes. We drive to hotels in Kuşadası and its cruise port, and to Selçuk, the town beside the ruins of Ephesus.

Can you take me to the ferry port in Çeşme for Chios?

Yes. We drive you to the port in Çeşme, where ferries leave for the Greek island of Chios. Give us your sailing time when you book, and allow time for passport control at the port.

Can you take me to Pamukkale or Didim?

Pamukkale is inland to the east and Didim is down the coast to the south. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route; if it is not, contact us before you fly.

Do you drive to apartments and vacation rentals in Izmir?

Yes. Give the full street address, the building and apartment number and a map pin. Where a street is pedestrian, as in parts of Alsancak and Kemeraltı, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can I book a pickup for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Enter your flight and pickup time in the booking form; the vehicles available for that hour show before you pay. Your driver waits for the actual landing, so a late arrival is covered.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Izmir Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight to Izmir is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Izmir Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, villa or apartment, and give your flight number, departure time and terminal, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.

What do I need to enter Turkey at Izmir Airport?

US, UK and Canadian ordinary passport holders can visit visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Other nationalities may need an e-Visa from evisa.gov.tr, and your passport generally needs at least 60 days of validity beyond your stay.
