Several
car rental companies have offices
in Adnan Menderes Airport,
18 km (11 miles) south of Izmir on
the way to Selçuk, Ephesus and Pamukkale.
In
principle, you could just fly into
the airport, go to a rental desk,
hire a car and go. But to be sure
you'll get the car you want at the
price you want, you should reserve
your car in advance. A good way to
do this is through one of TTP's recommended
travel agencies.
Selçuk and Ephesus are
60 km (37 miles) south of the airport
(less than an hour's drive). Here's
a description of the drive.
Pamukkale is
252 km (157 miles) from ADB, a drive
of about 4 hours. (Follow the
Airport-to-Selçuk description,
but stay on the Otoyol toward Aydin.
Do not exit for Selçuk/Kusadasi.)
Another way to go to or from the airport
is to have Anker
Travel in
Kusadasi arrange a private transfer
from Adnan
Menderes Airport, or indeed
from any airport in Turkey, to any
city, town or port.
Your hotel in Selçuk, Sirince or Kusadasi may also be able to arrange
a private
transfer. The Kalehan
Hotel in Selçuk,
for example, will arrange one for the
same or less than the normal taxi
fare.
