Real prices, transport options, and practical tips for this unique airport. **Airport:** OGU **City:** Ordu **Country:** Turkey **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu **Last updated:** 2026-07-17 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick Answer Ordu-Giresun Airport is unique — it was built on an artificial island on the Black Sea coast, roughly halfway between Ordu and Giresun. The airport sits about 18 km from Ordu city center and about 28 km from Giresun city center, according to the airport operator DHMI. A private transfer to either city takes 20-35 minutes and costs around $25-$50. Havas shuttle buses run to both cities, timed to flight arrivals; Havas sets its own fares and revises them, so check the current price at the desk in arrivals or on havas.net rather than relying on a figure quoted in advance. This is a small regional airport with limited transport options, so planning ahead matters more here than at larger Turkish airports. ### What Actually Happens After Landing Ordu-Giresun Airport has a single terminal. It handles primarily domestic flights from Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, with occasional seasonal charters. The terminal is modern and compact — you will be from your seat to the arrivals hall in 10-15 minutes. Baggage claim is straightforward with just a couple of carousels. Once you exit, you are on an island connected to the mainland by a short causeway road. The arrivals area has a small parking lot, a taxi stand, and a bus stop. There are no rental car desks inside the terminal, though some agencies operate from nearby. The airport is quiet compared to Istanbul airports, and the surroundings are dramatic — mountains on one side, the Black Sea on the other. ### Transport Options Explained Honestly **Havas Shuttle Bus:** The most common public option, and the one the airport operator DHMI points passengers to. Buses run to Ordu (about 30 minutes) and Giresun (about 35-40 minutes) timed to match flight arrivals. Havas sets and revises its own fares, so check the price on havas.net or at the desk in arrivals — that is the only reliable figure. They are comfortable coaches that drop you at a central point in each city. The downside is that you then need to get from the drop-off point to your actual destination. **Private Transfer:** A driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your exact address. To Ordu center: $25-$40. To Giresun center: $30-$50. To more distant destinations like Trabzon: $80-$120. This is the simplest door-to-door option, especially valuable since the airport's location between two cities means neither is a quick walk. **Taxi:** Available at the taxi stand directly in front of the terminal. Meters are used, on a tariff set by Ordu's transport authority rather than by the airport, and drivers are generally honest. Neither the authority nor the airport publishes that tariff where travellers can check it, so agree the approximate fare before getting in — and expect Giresun to cost meaningfully more than Ordu, since it is 10 km further. Not all drivers speak English. **Car Rental:** DHMI lists five rental companies serving the airport — CarPlus, Garenta, Avis, MyFleet and Europcar — but they are not reliably staffed at the terminal for every flight, so book in advance and confirm someone will meet you. If you plan to explore the Black Sea coast, renting from Ordu city is an easier fallback. **Municipal Buses:** There is no regular municipal bus service directly to the airport. The Havas shuttle is the only bus option. ### Realistic Pricing Expectations Transport from Ordu-Giresun Airport is affordable by international standards — noticeably cheaper than Istanbul or Antalya. Exact figures move too fast to print honestly: Havas sets and revises its own shuttle fares, and taxi meters run on a tariff set by Ordu's transport authority. Check the Havas price at the desk in arrivals or on havas.net, and agree a taxi fare before you set off. Private transfers cost $25-$50 depending on the destination and are fixed when you book. There is little price gouging here — it is a small, regional airport serving local communities. However, during peak summer months (June-August) and religious holidays (Bayram), demand for transport increases and taxis may be harder to find. ### Late Night Arrivals Most flights to Ordu-Giresun arrive during daytime or early evening. Occasional late flights from Istanbul can land around 10-11 PM. The Havas bus typically runs for the last scheduled flight of the day, but verify this before relying on it. Taxis are available but the number waiting drops significantly after the last flight. If you are arriving on a late flight, a pre-booked private transfer is strongly recommended — there are simply fewer transport options at this airport after dark, and you are on an artificial island with no nearby services. ### Families and Luggage The airport is small and easy to navigate with children and bags. No long terminal walks or complicated connections. The Havas bus has luggage storage underneath and is fine for families, though you still need onward transport from the city drop-off point. A private transfer is more practical for families — door-to-door, space for luggage, and you can request a child seat. Turkish regulations require child seats for children under 3 in private vehicles, though enforcement is inconsistent. Bring your own portable booster if this matters to you. ### Where You Meet the Driver For pre-booked transfers, drivers wait in the small arrivals area just outside the exit. The terminal is compact enough that you will see your driver almost immediately — there is only one exit for arriving passengers. Drivers typically hold a sign with your name. Since the airport serves only a few flights at a time, the arrivals area never gets chaotic. Have your driver's phone number accessible in case of any confusion, though cell coverage is good at the airport. ### Decision Helper **Choose the Havas bus if:** you are a solo traveler or couple heading to Ordu or Giresun city center, you are on a tight budget, and your accommodation is near the bus drop-off point. **Choose a private transfer if:** you are going to a specific address outside the city center, traveling with family, arriving late, or you simply want the easiest door-to-door experience. The price difference over a taxi is small and the convenience is significantly better. **Choose a taxi if:** you did not book anything in advance, you are flexible, and there are cabs available at the stand. **Avoid counting on car rental at the airport if:** you did not book well in advance — availability is limited. ## Summary Ordu-Giresun Airport is a small, modern facility in a striking location on the Black Sea. Transport options are limited compared to major Turkish airports, which makes planning ahead more important. For most travelers, the choice comes down to the Havas bus for budget simplicity or a private transfer for door-to-door convenience. If you are arriving late or heading somewhere outside the city centers, booking a transfer in advance will save you the uncertainty of finding transport on a quiet island airport. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How far is Ordu-Giresun Airport from Ordu city center?** About 18 km, which takes 20-25 minutes by car. The airport is built on an artificial island on the coast between Ordu and Giresun, connected to the mainland by a causeway. **Q: How far is Ordu-Giresun Airport from Giresun city center?** About 28 km, or 30-35 minutes by car. Giresun is noticeably farther from the airport than Ordu. **Q: Is there a bus from Ordu-Giresun Airport?** Yes, Havas shuttle buses run to both Ordu and Giresun, timed to match flight arrivals. Havas sets its own fares and changes them from time to time, so check the current price on havas.net or at the desk in arrivals. There is no regular municipal bus service to the airport. **Q: How much does a taxi cost from Ordu-Giresun Airport?** Meters are used, on a tariff set by Ordu's transport authority. That tariff is not published anywhere a traveller can check it before arriving, so we do not quote a figure — confirm the approximate fare with the driver before departing. Giresun costs more than Ordu, being about 10 km further. **Q: Can I rent a car at Ordu-Giresun Airport?** DHMI lists CarPlus, Garenta, Avis, MyFleet and Europcar as serving the airport, but availability is not guaranteed without an advance booking and desks are not staffed for every flight. Book ahead and confirm the pickup, or rent from Ordu or Giresun city instead. **Q: What makes this airport unusual?** Ordu-Giresun Airport is built on an artificial island in the Black Sea — the first of its kind in Turkey and one of very few globally. The runway sits on reclaimed land about 1.5 km from the shoreline, connected by a causeway. **Q: Can I get from Ordu-Giresun Airport to Trabzon?** Yes, but Trabzon is about 150 km east, which takes roughly 2-2.5 hours by car. A private transfer costs around $80-$120. There is no direct bus from the airport to Trabzon — you would need to go to Giresun first and take an intercity bus. **Q: Does Ordu-Giresun Airport have international flights?** Primarily domestic flights from Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. Seasonal charter flights and occasional international services operate during summer, particularly from Middle Eastern and European cities, but these are not year-round. **Q: Is there food available at the airport after landing?** The terminal has a small cafe and vending machines, but options are limited, especially late in the evening. If you are hungry after your flight, it is better to eat once you reach Ordu or Giresun city. **Q: Can I request a child seat for my airport transfer?** Yes, private transfer services allow child seat requests when booking. Specify your child's age. Taxis in Turkey generally do not carry child seats. If traveling with a young child, a private transfer with a pre-arranged seat is the safest option. ## Late Night Arrivals at Ordu-Giresun Airport: Your Real Options **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/late-night Ordu-Giresun is a small regional airport, and late-night transport options reflect that. If you are arriving on an evening flight, planning ahead is not optional — it is necessary. ## The Reality Most flights to Ordu-Giresun arrive during the day or early evening. Late flights from Istanbul occasionally land around 10-11 PM, sometimes later if delayed. The airport is quiet after the last flight — there is no constant stream of taxis or buses. You are on an artificial island connected to the mainland by a single road, and once the last passengers leave, the airport essentially shuts down for the night. ## Havas Bus Havas typically runs a bus for the last scheduled flight of the day, serving both Ordu and Giresun. However, if your flight is significantly delayed, there is no guarantee the bus will wait. Check the Havas schedule for your specific flight day, but do not rely on it as your only plan for a late arrival. ## Taxis After Dark A few taxis usually wait for the last flight, but the number is small — perhaps 3-5 cars. If your flight arrives late and other passengers grab them first, you could be stranded. Calling a taxi to come to the airport from Ordu or Giresun is possible but can take 20-30 minutes, and you need a Turkish phone number or a helpful airport staff member to make the call. ## Pre-Booked Private Transfer This is the clear recommendation for any arrival after 8 PM at this airport. Your driver monitors your flight and is there when you walk out, regardless of delays. The price is the same as daytime: $25-$40 to Ordu, $30-$50 to Giresun. At a small airport on an artificial island with minimal late-night infrastructure, having a confirmed ride waiting is not a luxury — it is practical necessity. ## What If You Are Stranded? There are no hotels at the airport itself. The nearest accommodation is in Gulyali, a small town on the mainland about 5 km from the airport. If you somehow end up without transport, airport information staff (if still present) can help you call a taxi. Airport security is present 24 hours. In a true emergency, you will not be left completely alone, but it is an uncomfortable situation that is easily avoided with advance planning. ## The Bottom Line At major airports, you can improvise late-night transport. At Ordu-Giresun, you cannot. If your flight arrives after 8 PM, book a private transfer before you travel. It costs very little, eliminates all risk, and means you go from plane to your hotel without a single moment of uncertainty. ## Ordu-Giresun Airport: Taxi or Private Transfer? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/taxi-vs-transfer At a small airport like Ordu-Giresun, the difference between a taxi and a private transfer is less dramatic than at major hubs. But there are still meaningful distinctions. ## Price Comparison Taxis run on the meter, on a tariff set by Ordu's transport authority that is not published anywhere you can check before you land — so the honest answer is that you will not know the taxi fare until you arrive, or until you agree one with the driver. Private transfers cost $25-$40 to Ordu and $30-$50 to Giresun: not necessarily cheaper, but a fixed, confirmed price with no variables. If certainty about the number matters to you, that is the difference. ## Availability This is where the difference matters most. Ordu-Giresun is a small airport. When a flight lands, a handful of taxis line up. If two flights arrive close together or if you are slow through baggage claim, taxis can run out quickly. There is no massive taxi fleet waiting. A pre-booked transfer guarantees a car is assigned to you, which eliminates the risk of standing at an empty taxi rank. ## Language Most taxi drivers at this airport speak only Turkish. If you speak Turkish or have your destination written down (hotel name and address in Turkish), communication is straightforward. Private transfer services typically handle English communication during booking, and drivers have your destination details in advance. For international travelers, this removes a potential friction point. ## Vehicle Condition Taxis in the Ordu-Giresun region are generally decent but vary. You get whatever is next in line. Private transfer vehicles are typically newer sedans or minivans maintained to a higher standard. For a 20-30 minute ride, this difference is minor. For longer rides to Trabzon or coastal towns, comfort matters more. ## Route Knowledge Local taxi drivers know the region well. Private transfer drivers assigned to airport routes also know the area. Neither has a significant advantage here. GPS navigation is standard for both. ## For Longer Distances If you are heading beyond Ordu or Giresun — to Trabzon, Unye, or a coastal village — the private transfer becomes clearly preferable. Taxi drivers may be reluctant to take long-distance fares, or they may quote high prices for the return trip. A private transfer to Trabzon is priced for the route and confirmed in advance. ## The Verdict For a straightforward ride to Ordu or Giresun city center during the day, either option works. The prices are close enough that it comes down to preference. If you want certainty — a confirmed driver, fixed price, and no language hurdle — the private transfer wins. If you are comfortable with Turkish communication and happy to take what is available, a taxi is perfectly fine. For late arrivals, distant destinations, or family travel, book a private transfer. ## Ordu-Giresun Airport Transfers for Families with Children **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/family-and-kids Ordu-Giresun is one of the easiest airports in Turkey for families. It is small, modern, and there are no long walks or confusing connections. Here is what to know about the ground transport. ## The Airport Experience The single terminal is compact and well-maintained. From the aircraft to the arrivals exit, you are looking at 10-15 minutes including baggage claim. There are no shuttle trains between terminals or long corridors. With a stroller and bags, you can manage the entire airport on foot without difficulty. Elevators and ramps are available throughout. ## Best Transport for Families A private transfer is the most practical choice for families arriving here. The driver waits at the small arrivals area, helps with your luggage, and drives you straight to your accommodation. Child seats can be requested when booking. Given that the airport is on an artificial island with limited transport options, having a guaranteed ride removes the main uncertainty. The Havas bus is fine for families with older children who can manage their own bags. The bus is comfortable and air-conditioned. However, it drops you at a central point in Ordu or Giresun, not at your door. With young children and heavy bags, you would then need a city taxi for the last leg. ## Child Seats Turkish law requires children under 3 to use an appropriate child restraint in private vehicles, and children aged 3-10 must sit in the back seat. Enforcement outside major cities is inconsistent, but safety should not depend on enforcement. Private transfer companies will provide child seats on request — specify the child's age and weight when booking. Taxis in Turkey almost never have child seats. If traveling with a baby or toddler, either book a transfer with a seat or bring a portable car seat. ## Luggage Space Families visiting the Black Sea coast tend to pack for varied weather — the region can shift from sunshine to rain quickly. A standard sedan handles 2-3 large suitcases. If you have 4+ bags plus a stroller and beach gear, request a minivan. Be specific about luggage count when booking so the right vehicle is assigned. ## Where You Are Going Matters If your accommodation is in Ordu or Giresun city center, any transport option works. If you are headed to a resort, village, or rental along the coast, a private transfer is essential. Places like Persembe, Boztepe, or the hazelnut coast villages are not served by the Havas bus, and finding a taxi to take you there from the airport can be hit-or-miss. ## Practical Family Tips The Black Sea region is family-friendly and welcoming. Locals are warm and helpful, especially with children. Restaurant portions are generous and kids are always welcome. If you are arriving in summer, the humidity can be high — have light clothing and water ready for the car ride. The coastal road between Ordu and Giresun offers beautiful scenery, so sit back and enjoy the view. ## How Much Does It Cost to Get from Ordu-Giresun Airport to the City? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/cost-to-city Ordu-Giresun Airport sits between two cities, so your cost depends on which direction you are heading. Both are affordable by any standard. ## Havas Shuttle Bus The Havas bus is the cheapest option. Havas sets its own fares on this route and revises them, and does not publish a table we could verify, so check the price at the desk in arrivals or on havas.net before you count on it. Buses are timed to departing and arriving flights. The ride to Ordu takes about 30 minutes, to Giresun about 35-40 minutes. You are dropped at a central point in each city, not at your specific address. ## Taxi Fares Taxis use meters at Ordu-Giresun Airport, on a tariff set by Ordu's transport authority. We are not printing a fare here because the authority does not publish the tariff where a traveller can check it, and an out-of-date number would be worse than none — what you can rely on is that Giresun costs more than Ordu, since it is about 10 km further, and that the price depends on exactly where in the city you are going. Some drivers may quote a flat fare for the trip — this is common practice at smaller Turkish airports and is usually fair, but you can insist on the meter if you prefer. Fewer taxis are available after the last flight. ## Private Transfer Pre-booked transfers offer fixed, all-inclusive pricing. To Ordu center: $25-$40. To Giresun center: $30-$50. To coastal towns east or west along the Black Sea: $40-$80 depending on distance. To Trabzon (150 km): $80-$120. The price covers meet-and-greet at arrivals, all tolls, and door-to-door service. ## Cost for Different Destinations The Black Sea coast has several towns travelers visit beyond Ordu and Giresun. Here are approximate private transfer costs: - Ordu center: $25-$40 - Giresun center: $30-$50 - Unye (west): $50-$70 - Tirebolu (east): $40-$55 - Trabzon: $80-$120 - Persembe (Ordu coast): $30-$45 ## How Costs Compare For a solo traveler going to Ordu, the Havas bus is the clear budget winner — it is a fraction of any car. A taxi costs several times more but takes you to your door. A private transfer at $25-$40 lands in similar territory to a taxi but with fixed pricing and no meter anxiety. For two people sharing, a private transfer becomes very reasonable per person. For a family of four, the private transfer or taxi is barely more expensive than four bus tickets plus a city taxi from the drop-off point. ## Tipping Tipping is not strictly expected for taxi drivers in Turkey, but rounding up the fare is customary. For private transfer drivers, a tip of 10-15% is appreciated but not required. Havas bus drivers are not typically tipped. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/ogu/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=OGU Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
