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.

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.
