Question

How do I get to Güzelbahçe from the Airport?

Answer

Taxi / Private Transfer: The most convenient option. Taxis are available 24/7 outside the terminal. Car Rental: All major international car rental companies have offices at the arrivals terminal. İZBAN & Metro: From the Airport, take the İZBAN train to Halkapınar, transfer to the Metro to Fahrettin Altay, and then take bus 8, 82, 321, or 984. HAVAŞ Shuttle: You can take the shuttle to Urla (which is about 15 minutes drive from Güzelbahçe). From there, a short taxi ride will take you to your hotel. Note: If you want to stay in the city center, there is a Havaş shuttle service directly to Alsancak (city center).

Question

How do I pay for public transport (Metro, Bus, Tram)?

Answer

Contactless Credit/Debit Cards: The easiest way! You can simply tap your international contactless card (Visa/Mastercard) at all turnstiles. İzmirim Kart (3-5-10 Passes): If you prefer a physical transport card, you can buy "limited-use" cards (3, 5, or 10 rides) from orange vending machines (called "Yükleme Noktası") at İZBAN, Metro, and Tram stations. Where to buy: These machines are located at the entrance of almost every station. Simply select the card type on the screen and pay with cash or card.
