⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Check the taxi meter is switched on before leaving NAV; if not, agree a total price in TRY first and ask whether card payment is accepted.
  • Ignore touts inside the terminal and only use the official taxi rank or a pre-booked transfer/shuttle meeting point.
  • Shared shuttles drop several hotels, so confirm your Uçhisar hotel is on the route before paying; prices are per person, not per vehicle.
  • Local shuttle and Uçhisar bus fares are not published reliably; ask the driver and expect to pay in cash TRY, not EUR.
