Booking a private transfer means you'll be sipping a cool drink at your hotel while others are still figuring out the train schedule. * **Fixed Price is Your Friend:** Don't start your holiday haggling over a taxi fare. With a pre-booked service like Meet Transfer, the price is locked in. No surprises, just a smooth ride. * **Book Ahead, Especially for Summer:** From June to September, the Aegean coast is buzzing.

Your driver will be waiting for you at the personal meet & greet exit gate, just after you collect your luggage and pass through customs. They will be holding a sign with your name on it, so you can’t miss them!
My flight might be delayed. What should I do?
Absolutely nothing! This is where the service shines. When you book with Meet Transfer, you provide your flight number. We track your flight in real-time. The driver will adjust their arrival time based on your plane's actual landing time. The first 60 minutes of waiting time are included for free.

The price is always per vehicle, for your private group only. Whether you are one person or six in a Mercedes Vito, the price is the same. This makes it very cost-effective for families and small groups compared to buying multiple shuttle tickets.

Of course. We provide round-trip services. Your driver will pick you up from your hotel lobby at a pre-arranged time to ensure you reach the airport with plenty of time for your departure. It’s a great way to end your trip with the same peace of mind.
Is Ephesus the same place as Selçuk?
That's a great question! Selçuk is the name of the modern town and district. The world-famous Ancient City of Ephesus is an archaeological site located just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Selçuk. So, when you book a transfer to Selçuk, you are going to the right place for visiting Ephesus.
