Because Urla sits at the entrance to the peninsula, it is connected to Çeşme and Alaçatı by a short motorway journey. This route is used both for a day trip around the peninsula and for single-purpose journeys such as dinner in Alaçatı.
In summer, Alaçatı’s narrow streets can have heavy traffic and parking problems. With a chauffeur-driven car you are spared this burden, as we agree the drop-off and pick-up points in advance.

Questions about this route
Should the car wait in Alaçatı, or should I book a separate trip?
For a programme of a few hours, an hourly chauffeur-driven car may suit better; for a separate return in the evening, two separate trips may be more suitable. Both are compared in the quote.
Do you drop passengers at Çeşme harbour for the ferry?
Yes. The pick-up time is set around your ferry time, leaving a margin for harbour procedures.
