The driver was already waiting by the arrivals gate, holding a little sign with my name (spelled almost right). He smiled and waved before I even spotted him. There was this faint smell of strong Turkish coffee drifting from somewhere — turns out, it was actually from inside the van. Never had that before on an airport transfer.
The van itself was one of those black Mercedes Vitos — spotless but not intimidating, if that makes sense. Seats were soft and wide enough that I could actually stretch out (I’m tall so that’s rare). Our driver, Mehmet, asked if I wanted a bed set up for the ride to Bodrum. I laughed but honestly considered it since we’d landed before sunrise. He handed me a bottle of cold water and pointed out the WiFi password taped near the cupholder. Little things like that make you feel looked after.
We drove past fields and sleepy villages as the sun started coming up over the Aegean hills. Mehmet told me stories about his family in Didim and how he’s been driving this route for years — he even gave me tips on where to stop for gözleme if I ever get hungry on future trips. At one point he put on some quiet Turkish radio; I half-dozed off listening to it while sipping coffee from their little machine (not bad at all). There’s something oddly peaceful about watching olive trees blur by when you know you don’t have to worry about directions or luggage getting lost.
I didn’t expect an airport transfer to feel this… personal? It wasn’t fancy in an over-the-top way, just comfortable and kind of warm. When we finally rolled into Bodrum, I almost wished the drive was longer. Funny how sometimes the “in-between” parts of travel end up sticking with you most.
