There is no direct public service from the airport, so a taxi or a pre-booked private transfer is how nearly everyone arrives. The calculator below prices the metered taxi live from the current Izmir tariff so you can compare it with a fixed transfer quote.

Arriving in Alacati

The old town of Alacati is a grid of narrow one-way lanes that are pedestrianised in the evenings, so most hotels have a drop-off point at the edge of the centre. Give the driver the hotel name; the surf hotels on the bay are a separate 3-4 km drive south of the town.

Cesme, the ferry port for Chios and the peninsula's beaches, is a ten-minute drive further west, and Izmir city is about an hour back along the motorway.

Avoid the common scams

Ask for the meter (taksimetre) at the airport rank; on long resort runs drivers often quote a flat price, which is not the tariff.
The O-32 motorway is tolled and the toll is added to the metered fare legally.
In July and August the peninsula road into Alacati and Cesme queues on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons; a fixed-price transfer avoids paying for that time on the meter.

Before you fly

Have data the moment you land

A Turkey eSIM installed before departure connects as soon as the plane doors open, so you can message your driver, open the meter estimate or ring the hotel without hunting for airport Wi-Fi. Airalo's Turkey plans run on the Turk Telekom network, from 3 to 30 days with unlimited-data options; it is data only and needs an unlocked, eSIM-capable phone, so check compatibility before you buy.
