Izmir Airport to Ephesus transfer — frequently asked questions
Something specific to your trip? Message us on WhatsApp — a real person replies, usually within minutes.
Chat on WhatsAppCan the driver wait while I visit Ephesus?
Yes. A visit takes 2-3 hours on average. If you want the car to wait, an hourly waiting rate applies and your driver stays on site to continue afterwards.
Which gate of Ephesus do you use?
We serve both the upper (Magnesia) and lower (Harbour) gates. To walk downhill we suggest dropping at the upper gate and being collected from the lower one.
Is the Izmir Airport to Ephesus transfer price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. The price starting from €40 covers the whole car, not each passenger — three people pay the same as one. This is what usually makes a private transfer cheaper than individual tickets for families and groups.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number from the moment you book. If the aircraft is late, your pickup time shifts automatically and there is no extra charge — your driver will be waiting whenever you actually land. Waiting is free for the first 60 minutes after landing.
How will I find the driver at the airport?
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, just past customs, holding a sign with your name on it. You will also receive the driver's name, phone number and vehicle plate by WhatsApp before you land.
How do I pay, and do I need to pay in advance?
No advance payment is required. You pay the driver at the end of the journey, in cash (TRY, EUR or GBP) or by card. The price is fixed at booking and does not change with traffic or route.
Can you provide a child seat?
Yes. Baby seats, child seats and booster seats are available free of charge. Please state your child's age and weight when booking so the correct seat is fitted before pickup.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. Since no payment is taken in advance, cancelling costs you nothing — a WhatsApp message is enough. Time changes are free at any point, including on the day.
