Tire lies well off the main tourist loop, on the plain of the Küçük Menderes river, which makes the İzmir airport to Tire transfer a journey most visitors cannot do by simple public transport. A private car meets you outside the arrivals exit at Adnan Menderes and drives inland to the town, with a WhatsApp message and short video after you land.
✅ What's Included
Heading inland from the airport
Unlike the coastal destinations, this trip points away from the sea. The car goes south on the D-550 towards Torbalı and then turns east onto the D-310 across the broad farmland of the Küçük Menderes plain. Plan on 65 to 85 minutes. The road itself is straightforward, but the final approach into town is the part that changes from day to day.
Because Tire sits so far from the usual airport routes, send your final address a day early. A Mercedes Vito takes up to six passengers and seven bags, which is enough for a family visit with presents, and a Sprinter is available for larger parties.
What Tire is like
Tire is an agricultural town about 80 km south-east of İzmir, nicknamed Green Tire. It served as the administrative centre of the Aydınoğulları beylik before it passed to the Ottomans, and 50 of the 56 mosques in the town centre are historic. There is a city museum, and the local dish, Tire köftesi, is the meatball people order when they come through. Weekly markets on Tuesdays and Fridays are known across the region for handcrafted goods.
Market days and the last few streets
On market days the centre fills with stalls and shoppers, and streets around the market may be closed. The driver then stops at the edge of the market area and you walk the remaining distance. If you are heading to a private address, send a map pin and the driver will confirm the best approach on WhatsApp in English.
Where to stay and who comes here
Hotel choice in Tire is limited, with a few small places in the town centre, and many visitors come only for the day. That is why a pickup at the airport can be useful: you land, go straight to family, a business meeting or the market, and book the return for the evening. If you would rather stay in İzmir itself, Tire becomes a day excursion by car from the city.
Meeting your driver at ADB
Adnan Menderes has separate international and domestic buildings. The driver waits just outside the arrivals exit of the terminal where you land and sends you the exact point on WhatsApp once you have collected your bags. The flight is tracked, so a late landing does not cost you anything extra.
Is there a train or taxi alternative?
There is some rail service: TCDD regional trains run on the İzmir Basmane to Tire line and call at the airport station, but only a handful of departures are listed each day, so you would have to fit your landing time around them. Check the current TCDD timetable before relying on it. Buses and minibuses to Tire start from İzmir city. A taxi for such a distance runs the meter for more than an hour, whereas a private transfer is booked ahead and priced per vehicle, with the exact price for your date and pickup time shown before you pay.

🔁 Going home: Tire back to İzmir Airport
You can book the way back in the same booking: choose a return trip on the booking form and enter the date and pickup time for your flight home. On the day, your driver waits at your hotel entrance or your address at that time and helps with your luggage.
From Tire the drive back takes about 65 minutes without traffic, so for an international flight choose a pickup about 4½–5 hours before departure, and about 3½–4 hours before a domestic flight. For a flight at 18:00, that means a pickup between about 13:00 and 13:30.
Traffic: İzmir traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings and evenings on the ring road and the roads into the airport; in summer the roads to and from Çeşme and Kuşadası are much slower at weekends and on public holidays, so leave earlier then.
