Trabzon Airport to Uzungöl Transfer

Your Uzungöl airport transfer begins at Trabzon Airport (TZX), where the driver waits at the arrivals hall exit holding a name sign; the meeting point is directly in front of the terminal exit. The driver tracks your flight, so if it is delayed the pickup time moves automatically and no extra fee is charged. After landing you have 60 minutes of free waiting time at the airport. The driver then takes you to your hotel or bungalow in Uzungöl, up to the door.

GET4S is a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency (document no. 14225) and the drivers speak English. The service runs 24/7, a child seat is free on request, and you can pay online by card in advance or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TL. Bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the pickup time. Your private transfer is arranged per vehicle, not per person, and the base class is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito.

Uzungöl is 88.5 km from Trabzon Airport (TZX) and the drive takes about 84 minutes in normal conditions. That time is an average for a traffic-free drive on a dry road. The route follows the Black Sea coastal road (D010) and then turns onto the Çaykara road at Of; the last 20 km is mountain road. Uzungöl sits at 1,090 m in the Çaykara district of Trabzon, surrounded by mountains.

In the high season, June to September, traffic on the coastal road and the Çaykara climb can add to the drive time. Uzungöl receives rain in every month of the year, and fog and rain are common, so allow extra time. Between December and March, snow can cover the mountain roads and add 20 to 40 minutes; GET4S vehicles carry winter tyres. For pickups between 22:00 and 06:00 a 20% night rate applies, and a round-trip booking gets a 5% discount.

The fixed price for the Uzungöl airport transfer starts at 127 EUR per vehicle and includes highway and toll fees, luggage, and the driver's waiting time. It is not a per-person price, so the price does not change with the number of passengers in the vehicle. The base class is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito. The driver takes you to the door of your hotel or bungalow around the lake or on the slopes of Şerah village.

GET4S tracks your flight, so a delayed flight does not cost extra, and 60 minutes of waiting after landing is free. Payment can be made online by card before the trip or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TL. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup. A child seat is provided free on request. Pickups between 22:00 and 06:00 are subject to a 20% night rate, and round trips get a 5% discount.

Uzungöl is one of the most visited destinations in the eastern Black Sea region: a lake at 1,090 m surrounded by mountains, with a lakeside mosque, bungalows and hotels around the water and on the slopes of Şerah village. Uzungöl hotels and bungalows are located around the lake and on the Şerah slopes, and the GET4S driver takes you to the hotel door. In winter, December to March, the road can be covered in snow, but the vehicles have winter tyres.

For comparison, airport taxis run on the meter and public transport does not offer a direct route to Uzungöl: municipal buses and dolmuş minibuses go to the city centre, and for Uzungöl, Ayder or Sümela there is no direct public transport from the airport. You first go to the centre and then transfer to a district minibus, which takes 3 to 4 hours in total. A private transfer avoids the transfer and the wait, and the fixed price starts at 127 EUR per vehicle.
