Also, and this is definitely the case, you'll have to walk through the demarkation zone, as cars (including taxis) can't pass.
There are separate crossings for cars vs pedestrians. If you have an EU passport or a passport that can enter the EU, there is little risk. The hassle is with the first point of entry into Turkey.
