Samsun Çarşamba Airport Taxi Fares
Taxis wait outside the arrivals exit at Samsun Çarşamba Airport and run on the meter under the 2026 Samsun UKOME tariff: a 140 TRY opening fee, 35 TRY per kilometre and 5 TRY per minute of waiting. The fare is the opening fee plus 35 TRY for each kilometre after the first, so a short hop within Çarşamba is around 350 TRY while the 25 km run into central Samsun (İlkadım) is roughly 980 TRY and takes about 30 minutes. Atakum, on the western seafront, is about 1,330 TRY and Bafra about 2,200 TRY. Fares are estimates that move with traffic and the exact route; confirm with the driver and make sure the meter is running. If you are heading to central Samsun and travelling light, the SAMAİR municipal shuttle (from about 145 TRY) is the cheaper alternative.
