How far is Trabzon Airport from the city centre?

Trabzon Havalimanı (TZX) is just 6 km east of Trabzon city centre — a 15–20 minute drive along the Black Sea coast road. The classic Black Sea / Karadeniz tourist destinations sit further inland: Uzungöl (110 km / 2h), Ayder Yaylası (165 km / 2h 45m via Çamlıhemşin), Sümela Monastery (50 km / 1h), and Rize (75 km / 1h 15m).

How much does a VIP transfer from Trabzon Airport cost?

Fixed-price ShuttleVIP transfers from Trabzon Airport (TZX): Trabzon city centre €45, Akçaabat €55, Rize €100, Sümela Monastery / Maçka €120, Uzungöl €170, Ayder Yaylası €180. Mercedes E-Class (up to 3 pax) or V-Class (up to 6 pax). Includes meet & greet, child seat, all tolls.

Is there a shuttle bus from Trabzon Airport?

Local belediye (municipal) buses connect TZX to Trabzon Otogar for about 25 TRY but they are crowded, not designed for tourists with luggage, and from Otogar you still need a long-distance bus to reach the popular Black Sea / Karadeniz destinations (Uzungöl, Ayder). Total time with bus connections to Uzungöl: 5–6 hours vs 2 hours by private VIP transfer.

How long does Trabzon Airport to Uzungöl take?

TZX → Uzungöl is 110 km via the D915 mountain road, taking 2 hours by private VIP transfer outside peak periods. The road climbs from sea level to 1,090 m with hairpin bends through the Çaykara forest — scenic but requires confident driving. In the high tourist season (June–August), expect 2h 15m–2h 30m. Fixed price €170 in Mercedes E-Class.

What is special about the Black Sea (Karadeniz) region?

The Eastern Black Sea region is Türkiye's lushest, greenest landscape — the cool mountain plateaus (yaylas), tea plantations, dramatic monasteries built into cliffs (Sümela), and the alpine lake at Uzungöl. Ayder Yaylası is Türkiye's most famous mountain village with thermal springs, traditional wooden houses and trekking. Best months: late May to September. The region is exceptionally popular with GCC and Middle Eastern tourists June–August.

Can ShuttleVIP arrange a multi-day Black Sea tour?

Yes — Mercedes V-Class hourly hire (8h/day) with English-speaking driver for the classic 3-4 day Karadeniz loop: Day 1 TZX → Sümela Monastery → Trabzon hotel; Day 2 Trabzon → Uzungöl → return; Day 3 Trabzon → Ayder + Çamlıhemşin → return; Day 4 hotel → TZX. Fixed daily rate, driver waits at each stop, no negotiated extras.

🛣️ The Black Sea / Karadeniz Loop

Most international guests at TZX are doing a 3–4 day Karadeniz loop from a Trabzon city hotel: Day 1 Sümela Monastery (half day), Day 2 Uzungöl (full day), Day 3 Ayder + Çamlıhemşin via Rize tea hills (full day). ShuttleVIP V-Class hourly hire makes this seamless — same driver for the multi-day loop, fixed price per day, no negotiation in mountain villages where rates inflate steeply for tourists.

High season note (June–August): Karadeniz roads to Uzungöl and Ayder are heavily congested with GCC/Saudi/Kuwaiti tourist groups. Mid-morning departures from Trabzon hit traffic jams on the D915 mountain road. We recommend 06:30–07:30 starts for Uzungöl, 06:00–07:00 for Ayder.
