Elazığ Airport Taxi Fares
Taxis serve the terminal exit at Elazığ Airport around the clock and run on the Elazığ meter tariff: a 50 TRY opening fee, 35 TRY per kilometre and a 200 TRY short-distance minimum, with no separate night rate. The airport is about 12 km from the centre, so the ride into town comes to roughly 470 TRY and takes around 20 minutes; reported fares cluster in the 360–470 TRY range, which matches the meter. Harput, the hilltop old town with its castle and views over the plain, is about 17 km and works out near 645 TRY, while the bus terminal is around 540 TRY and Keban, by the dam, about 1,975 TRY. Because the distance is short, the taxi is genuinely competitive with the 180 TRY Havaş coach once two or more people share, and it drops you at the door. Fares are estimates that shift with traffic and the exact route.
