Taxi Taxis are cheaper than in most other European countries. Taxis in Türkiye are bright yellow in colour. Also taxi drivers are all licensed so please check to keep safe. Taxis may also travel between cities or from cities or airports to resort towns. For these longer trips of, say, 10 or 20 km (6 to 12 miles) or more, set rates have been established. 

The current situation in Didim, Altinkum is that if you're only going a short distance around the local area, they don't turn the taxi meter on and the fee will be 150 lira. If your journey will be further, they must turn on the taximeter. In fact, it is illegal if they don't! Currently (April 2025) the meter should show a starting price of 40tl and will increase by 40tl for every km you drive, so would be around 440 lira for a 10km journey. 

Turks don't tip taxi drivers, they round up the fare. If it ends up being, say, TL238.75, a Turk will just round it up to TL240. In many cases if the fare is TL250.25, the driver will require only TL250. All taxis in Türkiye are equipped with taximeters but after midnight we recommend to ask driver the cost before the trip as the cost may be higher in comparison to daytime.
