Stay Connected for Transport and Taxis in Izmir

Turkey eSIM plans

Navigate, book and check before you go

Google Maps is useful for comparing route options and checking your position when you are moving between the airport, central Izmir and the Aegean coast. Refresh directions when plans change rather than relying only on a screenshot taken earlier.

For taxis, check BiTaksi and Uber directly for current availability and booking options. For ferry travel, look up the latest timetable in the relevant operator’s official source or app; availability, supported locations and transport rules can change, so travellers should check each app before depending on it.

Mobile coverage varies by place and building.

Keep transport-card tasks online

If Istanbulkart is part of your wider Turkey itinerary, mobile data can help with balance and top-up tasks in the relevant official app or website. Check the card’s current terms and supported payment methods before travelling, as app functions and rules may change.

Turkey is outside the EU/EEA, so travellers should check their own operator’s tariff before using their usual SIM for maps, transport apps or taxi bookings.

Choose data for everyday transport use

For light map checks and occasional app updates, 1 GB for 7 days is €1.39. For more regular navigation and transport searches, 3 GB for 15 days is €3.99, while 5 GB for 30 days is €6.99 and is listed on Vodafone 5G only.

As a planning guide, allow around 150 MB a day for lighter use, 400 MB a day for regular use, or 1000 MB a day when you expect frequent map loading and app activity. Larger options are 10 GB for 30 days at €9.99 and 20 GB for 30 days at €22.99.

Plans are supplied through Vodafone 5G and Türk Telekom 5G listings; these network names are not a coverage guarantee.
