How your airport pickup works

City taxis may not collect passengers inside the airport grounds, so we meet you just outside. Here is exactly what happens.

  1. Book on WhatsApp

    Send your flight number, date, number of passengers and hotel. You get a written confirmation and a fare estimate.

  2. Land and message us

    We follow your flight. If it is late, the pickup time moves with it at no extra charge.

  3. Walk to the bus stop

    The meeting point is the municipal bus stop outside the airport's main entrance gate, about 500 m from the terminal. We send you the location pin.

  4. Ride to your hotel

    Taxi 38 T 1018 takes you straight to your hotel door. The meter runs, and you pay at the end.

The rule comes from Article 21(1)(ii) of the Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality Regulation on Commercial Taxis and Taxi Stands (Council Decision 2025/383). Read the regulation (PDF, Turkish). For departing flights we drop you at the terminal as usual.

Erciyes: Turkey's Ski Mountain Next to the Airport

Erciyes Ski Resort sits on the slopes of Mount Erciyes, an extinct volcano and the highest peak in Central Anatolia. What makes it unusual is how close it is to an international airport: from Kayseri Erkilet Airport you can be at the slopes in well under an hour.

The resort has four entry points: Tekir, Hisarcık, Hacılar and Develi. Most hotels, the gondola and ski rental shops are around Tekir Gate, so that is where most of our ski transfers go. If your hotel is at another gate, tell us when you book.

The ski season usually runs from December to March, depending on snowfall. Many visitors combine a few days of skiing with a trip to Cappadocia, which is about 1.5 hours away by car.

  • Around 30 km from Kayseri Airport
  • Four gates: Tekir, Hisarcık, Hacılar, Develi
  • Season usually December to March
  • Easy to combine with Cappadocia

Built Around Ski Travel

What changes when your transfer is to a mountain instead of a hotel in town

  • Room for Your Gear

    Tell us how many skis, snowboards and boot bags you have. We check in advance that your gear fits. With a lot of equipment the car may take fewer than 4 passengers; if needed, we arrange an extra licensed taxi through our partners.

  • Winter-Ready Car

    Winter tyres in season and snow chains in the car. The road to Erciyes is well maintained, but conditions near the top can change quickly.

  • Delays Covered

    Winter flights are delayed more often. We follow your flight and adjust the pickup time at no extra charge.

  • Door to Your Hotel

    We drop you at your hotel at Tekir or any other gate, not at a bus stop at the bottom of the hill.

  • Return and Day Trips

    Book your return to the airport, a transfer from Erciyes to Cappadocia, or a daily ride from a hotel in Kayseri city to the slopes.

  • Pay at the End

    No prepayment. Pay the driver at your hotel in cash (TRY, EUR, USD) or by card.

Your Journey: Kayseri Airport to Erciyes

The drive from Kayseri Erkilet Airport to Erciyes Ski Resort is about 30 km to Tekir Gate. The route goes south past Kayseri city and then climbs the mountain road toward the resort. In clear conditions it takes 35 to 45 minutes; after heavy snowfall, allow extra time.

Which Gate Is My Hotel At?

Most visitors stay near Tekir Gate, where the gondola, rental shops and the largest group of hotels are. Hisarcık, Hacılar and Develi gates have their own lifts and a smaller number of hotels. Send us your hotel name when you book and we will confirm the right gate and the time.

Journey Overview

0 min: Meet your driver at the municipal bus stop outside the airport's main entrance gate
15 min: Pass Kayseri city and head south
25 min: Start the mountain road toward Erciyes
35-45 min: Arrive at your hotel at Tekir Gate

Private Taxi or Public Bus?

Kayseri's public transport runs buses toward Erciyes, but schedules are limited and are built for day skiers from the city, not for flight times. With skis, boots and suitcases, changing buses is hard work. A private taxi takes you and your gear from the airport meeting point to your hotel door in one trip, at any hour.

Skiing and Cappadocia in One Trip

Erciyes and Cappadocia are about 1.5 hours apart by car. A popular plan is a few days of skiing followed by a balloon flight in Göreme. We can drive you directly from your ski hotel at Erciyes to your hotel in Cappadocia.
