Trabzon Airport to Kayabasi
Distance: 48.5 kmTravel time: 50-60 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
Trabzon Airport to Kayabaşı takes you inland to a nature park set among dense spruce forest, where a small lake and marked walking paths make it a favourite for a relaxed family day rather than a long stay. Once you land at Trabzon Airport, the driver assigned to your Kayabaşı booking is already watching your flight and waiting with your name displayed, ready to take you straight to your accommodation in a private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter at the fare fixed on WhatsApp beforehand. Kayabaşı particularly suits families travelling with children who want space to walk among the trees and by the water, away from busy coastal promenades, with child seats available whenever needed.

Good to know
- Use the family lane at passport control if travelling with young children, as it usually moves faster into arrivals.
- Carry small change from the airport for park entry or snack stalls, since larger notes are not always convenient there.
- The final stretch of road narrows near the forest, so allow a little extra time on busy weekend afternoons.
- Bring sturdy shoes for the walking paths, as the ground can stay damp under the spruce canopy.
- Insect repellent is worth packing for time spent near the lake, especially in the warmer months.
- Check opening times for the picnic areas with your driver, as they can vary by season.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we spot our Haqqi Tours driver at Trabzon Airport arrivals?
At Trabzon Airport, the driver assigned to your Kayabaşı nature park trip stands close to the arrivals doors holding a board with your family name, so the walk from baggage claim to the car takes only a few steps.
Does the transfer cost more if we bring a pushchair for our child?
No, a pushchair or stroller is treated as standard luggage and travels at no extra cost; just mention it when booking so there is room for it.
Can a child seat be ready for a toddler on this route?
Yes, tell our Trabzon desk your toddler's age when you reserve the Kayabaşı nature-park transfer, and the seat is fixed inside the Mercedes well before your flight lands, ready for the drive out to the lake and forest paths.
How long is the drive out to the Kayabaşı nature park?
The journey is around 48.5 km and usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, giving families a full afternoon at the park once you arrive.
What payment methods are accepted for this booking?
Cash and card are both accepted, and the fare is confirmed with you on WhatsApp beforehand so payment on arrival is quick and clear.
What if our flight into Trabzon lands earlier than scheduled?
Since the system checks your flight both for delays and for an early touchdown, a Kayabaşı driver arriving ahead of schedule is met by the car sooner rather than facing a wait.
Is it easy to walk around the lake with young children?
The paths around the small lake are gentle and well maintained, making them manageable for children and for pushchairs on dry days.
Are there picnic spots within the nature park itself?
Yes, shaded picnic areas sit among the spruce trees, and many families bring food from Trabzon to enjoy there before heading back.
Does the driver wait while we spend time at the park?
The standard service is a one-way drop-off, though a return pickup at an agreed time can be arranged when you book.
Is this transfer shared with other travellers heading the same way?
No, the car and driver are reserved for your party alone on every Kayabaşı transfer, with no other bookings added to the vehicle.
