Bodrum Airport to Belek

Overview

Belek sits well east along the Mediterranean coast, so the drive from Bodrum Airport to Belek runs five to six hours over more than 400 kilometres, one of the longer transfers we arrange. A driver assigned to your booking alone tracks the incoming Bodrum flight, waits at arrivals with your name displayed, and manages the long haul to Belek in a private V-Class or Sprinter, offering a rest stop partway given how far east Belek sits. Belek is known for its golf courses and wide Blue Flag beaches, with large all-inclusive resorts set among pine forest and the ruins of ancient Aspendos a short drive inland. The fixed price for this longer route is agreed with you in writing before travel, so families heading to a resort holiday know the cost from the start.

Route details

About the destination

Pine forest rather than open coastline sets the scene at Belek, a purpose-built resort belt east of Antalya where fairways thread between the trees down to the shore, and the ruins of Aspendos sit just far enough inland to make a half-day detour from the beach.
