Mardin Airport Taxi Fares
Taxis wait at Mardin Prof. Dr. Aziz Sancar Airport and run on the 2026 Mardin meter: a 50 TRY opening fee, 45 TRY per kilometre and a 150 TRY short-distance (indi-bindi) minimum. The airport is about 13 km from central Mardin and only 5 km from Kızıltepe, so a taxi to Kızıltepe is around 275 TRY and to the terraced old town of Mardin about 635 TRY. It is a strong option for the sights that the Havaş shuttle does not reach: the Dara ancient city (about 30 km, roughly 1,400 TRY) and Midyat with its Syriac churches and stone houses (about 65 km, roughly 2,975 TRY). For the historic centre the Havaş coach (180–200 TRY) is cheaper if it suits your time; a taxi wins on door-to-door convenience and for the outlying sights. Fares are estimates; agree the price before longer trips.
