Trabzon to Uzungol transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Trabzon to Uzungol depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Trabzon to Uzungol airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Trabzon to Uzungol route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Uzungol in Trabzon is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Trabzon, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Trabzon (TZX)
Trabzon Airport (TZX) sits on the shore only about 6 km east of the city centre, with Uzungöl about 95 km and Sumela about 45 km into the mountains.
A little knowledge of Trabzon makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Trabzon to Uzungol drive begins.
Searches for "TZX to Uzungol" or "TZX airport transfer" land here for a reason: TZX is the airport code for Trabzon, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Uzungol.
Trabzon to Uzungol at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Trabzon to Uzungol, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Trabzon, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Trabzon to Uzungol?
An airport taxi from Trabzon to Uzungol means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Trabzon to Uzungol per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Uzungol involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Uzungol, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Trabzon to Uzungol: is there a bus, train or metro?
Trabzon has no rail; city buses reach the centre from the airport but not Uzungöl, Sumela or the highland hotels, which are mountain drives of one to two hours where a private car with a local driver is the sensible choice.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Uzungol once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Trabzon to Uzungol transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Uzungol
Trabzon is the main city of Turkey's Black Sea coast, green and steep, with the airport (TZX) only about 6 km east of the centre on the shore, Uzungöl lake about 95 km into the mountains, the Sumela Monastery 45 km away and the Ayder plateau across the border into Rize.
Uzungol in Trabzon is part of a city that visitors know by its neighbourhoods: Akçaabat and its fishing harbour to the west, Yomra and Arsin near the airport, Uzungöl in the Solaklı valley and Maçka on the Sumela road. Whichever of them you are staying in, the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door.
From Uzungol you are well placed for Ayder plateau and hot springs, Sumela Monastery on its cliff, Uzungöl lake and village, Hagia Sophia of Trabzon and Atatürk Pavilion. Your driver can point out what you pass on the way in from Trabzon, and the WhatsApp desk arranges a car for a day trip if you want one later.
Hotels in Uzungol: where the transfer takes you
Our Trabzon to Uzungol transfer goes to any hotel, resort, apartment or private villa in Uzungol and the rest of Trabzon - the Boztepe hill viewpoint, Akçaabat and its fishing harbour to the west and Yomra and Arsin near the airport included. Send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp; the driver will have the exact door, and the fixed price for the vehicle does not change with the hotel you choose.
Eating well after the Trabzon to Uzungol drive
Once the bags are down, Trabzon rewards a walk to dinner. Things worth trying near Uzungol: Akçaabat köfte, hamsi (anchovies) in season, kuymak (mıhlama) corn and cheese and Laz böreği pastry. If you land late and want somewhere open, say so on WhatsApp and the desk suggests a place near your hotel - or ask the driver on the way in from Trabzon.
Best time to travel from Trabzon to Uzungol
The Black Sea is mild and wet: summers are green and busy, especially with Gulf visitors from June to September, and winters bring snow to Uzungöl and the plateaus while the coast stays open.
Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Uzungol accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.
Meeting your driver at Trabzon
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Trabzon - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. Flights are tracked, so a late landing simply moves the pickup; nobody leaves, and the price does not change.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Trabzon.
Our vehicles for the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Trabzon to Uzungol? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Uzungol and the ride back to Trabzon are arranged in the same conversation.
Families, groups and business travel from Trabzon to Uzungol
Travelling with children changes what matters: a child seat fitted before you arrive, space for the pushchair, a driver who is not in a hurry, and no waiting in a queue with tired kids. Say the ages when you book the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer and the right seats are in the car; a minivan gives a family of five room to spread out, and the fixed price is the same whether the drive is quick or slow.
Honeymooners, solo travellers and couples take the sedan; if you are unsure which vehicle suits your group and luggage, send the numbers on WhatsApp and the desk recommends one before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Trabzon?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at Trabzon.
How far is Uzungol from Trabzon, and how long does the transfer take?
It is a direct drive. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Trabzon to Uzungol transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Trabzon to Uzungol?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Trabzon to Uzungol adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Trabzon to Uzungol?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Uzungol.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Trabzon to Uzungol?
Trabzon has no rail; city buses reach the centre from the airport but not Uzungöl, Sumela or the highland hotels, which are mountain drives of one to two hours where a private car with a local driver is the sensible choice. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Trabzon is delayed?
The driver waits. Your Trabzon to Uzungol booking is tied to your flight number, and our desk watches the real landing time, so a late arrival simply moves the pickup. Normal waiting after landing is included in the fixed price.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The Trabzon to Uzungol transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.
Which vehicle will I get for the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer?
You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from Trabzon to Uzungol carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
How much luggage can I bring?
A normal suitcase and a cabin bag per person is comfortable in every vehicle. If you are bringing more - extra cases, a stroller, sports equipment or a wheelchair - tell us on WhatsApp and we send a vehicle with the space for it.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and the normal waiting time after your flight lands. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Trabzon to Uzungol?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.
How do I book the Trabzon to Uzungol transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Uzungol - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at Trabzon, usually within minutes.
How and when do I pay?
The desk agrees the payment method with you in the same WhatsApp conversation once the booking is confirmed; the price you pay is the fixed figure in the confirmation, and there is nothing extra to hand the driver.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Trabzon to Uzungol route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Is the transfer suitable for a wheelchair user or someone who walks slowly?
Yes. Tell us when you book and we send a vehicle with room for a folded wheelchair, ask the driver to meet you as close to the arrivals exit as Trabzon allows, and build in extra time at both ends. The driver helps with the bags and the door.
Can I book the return trip from Uzungol to Trabzon as well?
Of course. Send the departure flight time and the hotel, and we collect you from the door with a comfortable margin for Trabzon. Booking both directions together keeps everything on one confirmation, and any change of plan is handled in the same chat.
