Summer days on the Çeşme peninsula move from beach to beach and end in the stone streets of Alaçatı – and finding a parking space is often the hardest part. Hire a car with a private driver by the hour and the VIP vehicle and chauffeur are yours alone for the whole package, from Ilıca to Ayayorgi and from Alaçatı to the Urla vineyards. Current package prices are in the table above and booking is online.
Who hires a private driver in Çeşme and Alaçatı?
- Beach hoppers: a full day between Ilıca, Altınkum, Pırlanta and the Ayayorgi bays, with your beach bag and umbrella left in the car.
- Alaçatı evenings: dinner among the stone houses, then a beach club or bar, and back to the hotel without queuing for a taxi.
- Weddings and engagements: a Maybach as the bridal car and Sprinters for guests at Alaçatı and Çeşme hotels – see Izmir wedding transfer.
- Villa and boutique-hotel guests: one car for the supermarket, beaches and restaurants around Alaçatı, Ilıca and Dalyan (Çeşme).
- Çeşme Marina and port: yacht embarkation, and pick-ups for passengers arriving on the Chios ferry followed by a peninsula drive.
- Windsurfers and kiters: easy rides with your gear between the surf bay in Alaçatı and your hotel.

How it works
- Pick a package: 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 hours; included kilometres are in the table above.
- Start: hotel, villa, Çeşme Marina, the ferry port or Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport – the day can begin with your airport pick-up.
- The driver waits: at the beach, restaurant, wedding venue or while you shop.
- Flexible route: if your plans change, just tell the driver.
- Extra hours and km: paid at the end at the unit rates in the table.
- Child seats: free on request.
If you only need to get from the airport to your hotel, an Izmir Airport to Çeşme or Alaçatı transfer is the better choice.
Choosing a vehicle by group size
- VIP Mercedes Vito (up to 6 people): couples, families and groups of friends.
- Ultra VIP Maybach: bridal car, anniversaries and stylish Alaçatı evenings.
- VIP VAN (up to 10 people): villa groups and families with beach gear.
- VIP Minibus Sprinter (up to 14 people): wedding guests and larger groups.
On July and August evenings the roads into Alaçatı and its car parks fill up fast; being dropped at the door and collected from the same spot after dinner makes a real difference. You can also add the wine country around Urla to your peninsula programme.
