Çeşme and Alaçatı are peninsula destinations reached from the airport in about an hour and a half by motorway. Most of the journey is on the Izmir–Çeşme Motorway; city traffic only affects the airport exit and the motorway connection.
In the summer season, the times for entering and leaving the peninsula become noticeably busier. For return transfers, we recommend planning an earlier pick-up time, depending on your flight.
