Alaçatı is the stone-built village on the Çeşme Peninsula known for its windmills, boutique hotels and the windsurf bay on its southern shore. Your driver takes you straight to your hotel, guesthouse or rented house.

How long is the drive from İzmir Airport to Alaçatı?

From the airport the driver joins the İzmir ring motorway and follows it west around the city until it becomes the İzmir–Çeşme motorway. From there it is a fast, wide road across the peninsula, past the turn-offs for Urla and Seferihisar and through rolling hills of olive groves and vineyards.

Alaçatı has its own motorway exit before Çeşme, so you leave the motorway a few minutes earlier than travellers heading to the castle town. Allow the longer end of the time range on summer Friday afternoons, when many İzmir residents drive out to the peninsula for the weekend.

Old village or surf bay: where is your hotel?

Alaçatı has two quite different sides. The old village is a grid of narrow streets lined with restored stone houses, many turned into small boutique hotels, cafés and restaurants. South of the village, towards the sea, are the windsurf beach, surf schools, Port Alaçatı and newer hotels and holiday homes.

Please give the full address when booking. Several boutique hotels share similar names, and the difference between a village guesthouse and a hotel by the surf bay is a few kilometres of different roads.

Travelling to Alaçatı with surf gear and families

Windsurf and kite boards
Declare boards, booms and bags with their length when booking. Long equipment usually needs a minivan.
Families
Child seats are available on request. A minivan gives space for buggies and beach gear for a week or two.
Couples and small groups
A private car suits most boutique hotel stays, where luggage tends to be lighter.

Getting back to ADB from Alaçatı

For an international flight, arrange your pickup about four hours before departure. That covers the drive of up to around an hour and a half plus check-in time, with a small reserve for peninsula traffic. On summer Sunday evenings, when weekend visitors drive back to İzmir, add another 30 minutes.

How much is a transfer from İzmir Airport to Alaçatı?

Typically around €75–95 for a private car with up to three passengers and €90–115 for a minivan for up to about seven. The exact price depends on date, vehicle and luggage and is shown before you book.

Can the car drive to my boutique hotel in the old village?

Yes, slightly. Alaçatı is about 94 km from ADB with its own motorway exit, while Çeşme town is about 10 km further west.

Can I travel with my own windsurf equipment?

Yes. Mention the number and length of boards and bags when booking so the provider sends a vehicle with enough room.

In July and August the peninsula motorway is busiest on Friday evenings westbound and Sunday evenings eastbound. The agreed price stays the same, but the drive can take longer.
