- Directions from anywhere else, in case you are landing at different city, or in case you are driving.

ANSWER:  There are taxis, busses -
Depending on where your apartment is situated and the airport you're arriving to, the cost of a taxi from airport varies from 20 to 30 USD. The driver should not charge for the return trip nor is there any extra charge at night.
