Bodrum Airport to Aksu
Distance: 402 kmTravel time: 5-6 hoursNearest metro: Aksu Tram Station (AntRay T1B)
Overview
Aksu sits on the eastern side of Antalya, which makes the run from Bodrum Airport to Aksu one of the longest we cover, typically five to six hours across the peninsula and along the coast. A board with your name greets you the moment you reach arrivals, held by a driver who has already been tracking your inbound flight, and the private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter stays with you for this entire cross-region distance. Aksu itself is known for the ruins of ancient Perge and the Kurşunlu Waterfalls, alongside resort hotels along its stretch of coast. Nothing about the fare is left open once you land, since the Aksu route price is fixed and put in writing before your flight departs.
