The longer fares here are the Black Sea sightseeing trips. Sumela Monastery is around 50 km inland and the much-photographed Uzungöl lake is closer to 95 km, so a metered round trip gets expensive. For day trips like these, many visitors hire a car and driver for the day or book a tour, which usually works out better value than running the meter both ways.

Taxi vs other ways into town

Option	Duration	Price	Notes
Metered taxi	10–15 min	~₺420–600 to centre	Short coastal hop from the airport
Day trip (driver / tour)	full day	negotiated / tour price	Best value for Uzungöl and Sumela
Havaş / dolmuş	15–30 min	~₺40–150	Airport to the centre; cheapest

Avoid the common taxi scams

For day trips to Uzungöl or Sumela, agree a day rate or book a tour rather than running the meter both ways. It is far cheaper for the distance.
In town, check the meter is on. The airport-to-centre hop is short and cheap.
Pay by card or app where you can, and keep some cash for the longer runs.
