Izmir Havalimanı Rent a Car
İzmir Adnan Menderes is an international airport in Gaziemir district, south of Izmir’s city center. The airport has operated since 1987, but the international terminal opened in 2006, and the new domestic terminal started operating in 2014. Its domestic terminal has eight passenger boarding bridges connected with the International Terminal. İzmir Airport serves approximately 13 million passengers annually and has been named one of the best European airports by Airports Council International in 2020. Furthermore, the Doha Aviation Summit awarded Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport the "Environmentalist Airport of the Year" title in 2009. On June 17, 2010, ACI Europe presented the "ACI Eco-Innovation Award" to the airport for the first time. İzmir Adnan Menderes International Airport receives multiple domestic and international flights year-round, and some of the most well-known airlines operating there include Turkish Airlines, SunExpress, Pegasus Airlines, and TUI Airways. The airport has two long runways, but they can not operate simultaneously due to the lack of a taxiway. The airport's facilities were expanded by building a parallel taxiway, entrance taxiways, aprons for passenger and cargo aircraft, and de-icing areas, in addition to renovating the existing entrance taxiways. After finishing in March 2020, the 280,000 m2 apron area expanded the airport's remote parking capacity from 35 to 61, adding 26 extra slots, eight reserved for private aircraft use. The modern and renovated airport can now accommodate the needs of 15 million passengers and provide contemporary services and professional airport facilities.

Car Hire Izmir Airport
Izmir Airport’s location is near many picnic areas, natural parks, and forests, so if you have booked accommodation outside of the city center and want to engage in outdoor activities, you have plenty of options. For instance, Buca Golet nature preserve, Gokdere Canyon, Kurudere Canyon, Sarnıç Gölet picnic area, and, of course, Mount Nif’s summit are all within short driving distance from Gaziemir and Izmir Airport. Kurudere Canyon is a beautiful woodland area ideal for those who want to trek or enjoy a leisurely walk in the forest. You will find pleasant hikes where you can walk through pine forests with your doggies. At the canyon's end, you arrive at Nazarköy, where you will find picnic areas and playgrounds. If you don’t have supplies for a picnic, you can go to Nazarkoy village to Vatan Kahvalti restaurant and have lunch or dinner in an outdoor green area. For those who are active and want to go trekking, Mount Nif’s summit is the place to be. Before planning to trek there, you should check the weather forecast, as it can get very windy or rainy due to the altitude change. It is recommended to use an off-road car to get as close to the summit as possible; otherwise, you can drive from Kemalpasa Road with a conventional car. The total altitude is 1500 meters, and the trail to reach the summit is full of endemic plant species. Overall, it is a truly unique excursion, not far from the airport or Izmir’s center, and it is highly recommended if you’re a nature lover.
