Short answer
From Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport, Alaçatı is about 87 km and Çeşme about 90 km. Most of the way is motorway, so the transfer usually takes 60–80 minutes. The most comfortable option is a private transfer that meets you in arrivals and drives you straight to your hotel or holiday home.
Your options
Buses are cheap but timetabled and usually involve a change in the city. Car hire gives flexibility, but parking in Alaçatı's narrow, busy streets is hard in summer. With a private transfer the price is known upfront and you go door to door.
Summer traffic
In July and August, Friday evenings are busy towards Çeşme and Sunday afternoons towards Izmir. If you can, schedule your flight outside these times; if not, leave extra margin for your return transfer.
Your ride is one tap away.
