Rize-Artvin AirportArdeşen

Havaş runs a direct shuttle from Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) to Ardeşen for 190 TRY. The airport is at Pazar (Yeşilköy) and Ardeşen is the next coastal district just east, about 14 km away, so the trip takes only around 15-20 minutes. Buses depart from outside the terminal, timed to flight arrivals. Ardeşen is the gateway to Çamlıhemşin, the Fırtına Valley, Zilkale and, beyond them, the Ayder Plateau, so it is a popular stop for travellers heading into the Kaçkar highlands. A metered taxi covers the short trip for around 700 TRY. The child fare is half the adult fare; tickets are bought at the Havaş desk or on board.
