⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Airport taxi drivers may quote inflated fixed fares; confirm the total price in TRY before loading bags and ask to use the meter if unsure.
  • Touts in arrivals may offer 'direct' minibuses or private cars to Kalkan; there is no direct public bus to Kalkan, so use the official taxi rank, pre-booked transfer, or advertised bus platforms.
  • Muttaş airport buses accept bank/credit card, but intercity buses and local dolmuşes may require cash; carry some Turkish lira for the last leg.
  • Pre-booked transfer drivers should wait in the arrivals hall; do not follow someone who approaches you claiming to be your driver without checking the booking name and company.
