Diyarbakır Airport to Mardin Transfer: the road, arrival and booking
Our Diyarbakır Airport to Mardin Transfer takes you from Diyarbakır Airport to Mardin without changes or waiting for departures. See Diyarbakır airport transfer for every route from this branch.
How do you get from the plane straight to Mardin?
Many visitors to Mardin fly into Diyarbakır Airport (DIY), which has links to Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir plus seasonal flights from Europe; schedules change with the season. On a Diyarbakır Airport to Mardin transfer the driver waits at the arrivals exit with your name on a board, loads the bags and takes the southern exit onto the Mardin road without going through the city. Your flight is tracked, so a delay simply moves the meeting time, with no extra charge.
The road passes Çınar, runs south across the plain and finally climbs the ridge Mardin is built on. On an evening arrival this last climb is when the lights of the town appear on the slope. If you need a child seat or carry a lot of luggage, say so when booking; a Vito works well for families with big cases.
What about a late check-in?
Many of Mardin’s boutique hotels and mansion guesthouses sit on stepped lanes off First Street, where a car cannot always reach the door. In that case the driver stops at the closest point, often the Diyarbakır Gate or Republic Square, and you walk a few steps with your bags. If you land late, tell your hotel your expected arrival time so reception stays open.
Hotels on the wide avenues of the newer town below the old quarter have direct car access. Academics heading to a meeting or a conference at Mardin Artuklu University can also be taken from the airport straight to the campus. Your Diyarbakır Airport to Mardin transfer ends as close to the door as the lanes allow.
When should you leave Mardin for the return flight?
On the way back the car collects you from your hotel or the agreed meeting point and drives straight to the DIY terminal. When you count back from departure time, add a margin for security and bag drop on top of the drive; for an early morning flight this can mean leaving after midnight. Mardin has its own airport, but Diyarbakır usually offers more routes.
If you plan to spend the first night in Mardin and continue to Midyat or Hasankeyf the next day, book that leg as a separate day. For a Diyarbakır Airport Mardin transfer, send your flight number, the number of passengers and bags, and your hotel name. Payment is made during the trip.

Frequently asked questions
My flight lands around midnight. Can I still go to Mardin?
Yes. Booking and support run around the clock and the driver follows your flight, so he is there when you land. The real issue at night is hotel reception, so let your hotel know you will arrive late. If the car cannot reach the door in the old town, the driver stops at the nearest point and shows you the way.
Is it worth flying into Diyarbakır instead of Mardin?
It depends on the flights. Diyarbakır has links to Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and seasonal routes from Europe, so finding a convenient time is often easier. If flights into Mardin do not suit you, landing at DIY and taking a direct car to Mardin is a practical option.
Can I book a child seat for the Mardin transfer?
Yes — add the child’s age in the booking notes and the car is prepared accordingly.
Can I cancel my Mardin transfer?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before; you pay on the day, so there is nothing to refund.
