Merhaba — I'm Akın 👋
I'm a retired police officer — I served Kuşadası for many years before taking the wheel full-time. Today I'm a licensed taxi driver at the central stand, right opposite the historic Caravanserai, three minutes from where your ship docks. Keeping people in this town safe and smiling has been my job most of my life; only the uniform changed.
What you get with me
🚐 The car
A clean, air-conditioned Fiat Doblo minivan with the big 7+1 layout — up to 7 passengers ride together with their luggage. No squeezing, no second taxi. Licensed yellow taxi from Kuşadası's central stand.
🪪 Licensed, local — and ex-police
A registered commercial taxi at the central stand, driven by a retired Kuşadası police officer — not a stranger with a car. You can find me on Google Maps, and my regulars find me year after year.
🗣️ Real English
Ask about the ruins, the food, the prices in the bazaar, where locals actually swim — you'll get real answers, not nodding.
💶 Honest pricing
Every fare is a fixed per-car quote agreed on WhatsApp before we drive. That's how I want to be treated when I travel, so that's how I work.
🕐 Actually 24/7
Cruise arriving at dawn? Flight landing at 3 AM? Call. I'm the one who picks up.
🏛️ Ephesus days, rehearsed
I know the gates, the crowds, the shade and the timing. Your port day runs like clockwork — this is my every day.

Where to find me
Central taxi stand, Atatürk Boulevard — directly opposite the Öküz Mehmed Paşa Caravanserai, 3 minutes on foot from the cruise terminal gate. Or don't walk at all: message me and I'll be at the gate with a name sign.
Let's plan your day
Ship, flight or hotel — send the details and I'll take it from there.
