⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official taxi rank outside Arrivals; ignore drivers who approach you inside the terminal, as they are not licensed there and may overcharge.
  • Insist the taxi meter is switched on before leaving. A normal airport run to Kemeraltı should cost around €18–€22; do not accept a flat fare much above that.
  • Do not board unmarked shuttles or follow people claiming a direct Havaş coach to Kemeraltı; no daytime direct bus exists.
  • Contactless bank cards may not work at İZBAN gates. Buy an İzmirim Kart at the airport to avoid being stuck; do not buy cards from unofficial sellers if you can use the official ticket office.
