Several trains stop at the airport terminal on their runs to and from Izmir's Basmane railway station, taking between 25 and 30 minutes to make the run. Unfortunately, there are only about six southbound trains a day, mostly in the afternoon. They tend to be rather dilapidated, but extraordinarily cheap.

If you take the train, be advised that the train station is next to the International Terminal (Diş Hatlar, DUSH haht-lahr), and connected to it by a covered passageway. The Domestic Terminal (Iç Hatlar, EECH haht-lahr) is about 300 meters to the south, a five-minute walk.

Lots and lots of buses pass by on the highways on both east and west sides of the airport, but they do not enter the airport grounds, so you have to walk at least a few kilometers to get to a bus stop. This arrangement allows the region's taxi drivers to make lots of money ferrying passengers to and from the airport. (Most probably, they will refuse to shuttle you out to the highway so you can catch a bus.)

Another way to go to or from the airport is to have your hotel arrange a private transfer. The Kalehan Hotel in Selçuk, for example, will arrange one for less than the normal taxi fare.

Pamukkale is 252 km (157 miles) from ADB, a drive of about 4 hours (4-1/2 to 5 hours by bus). Pamukkale Pamukkale, meaning cotton castle in Turkish, is a natural site and attraction in Turkey. ...
