About Alsancak
Alsancak is İzmir’s liveliest central district, with the Kordon seafront, café-lined side streets and much of the city’s nightlife. It suits travellers who want restaurants, bars and the sea on their doorstep.
Alsancak is also on the İZBAN line — about 28 minutes from the airport station — and the HAVAŞ Alsancak–Karşıyaka bus stops at the Efes Hotel. A transfer makes most sense with heavy luggage, a family or a late arrival. Many streets near the Kordon are pedestrianised or one-way, so give your driver the exact hotel name.

Going back to the airport
For your return flight, leave Alsancak the drive time (about 25 min) plus at least 2 hours before a domestic flight or 3 hours before an international one, as TAV advises — and add a margin on summer weekends. Domestic and international flights leave from separate terminals, so tell your driver which one you need. Live times are on the departures board.
