Bodrum Airport to Bodrum
Distance: 36 kmTravel time: 35-40 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
Bodrum town itself is a short run from the airport, and the drive from Bodrum Airport to Bodrum usually takes thirty-five to forty minutes on a direct road down to the bay. Inside the arrivals hall a Haqqi Tours driver already has your flight logged and your name raised on a board, then leads you to a private V-Class or Sprinter reserved solely for the short run into Bodrum town. The town wraps around its harbour and the 15th-century castle, with marinas on either side and a lively strip of restaurants and nightlife along the waterfront after dark. Because the drive is short, arrivals late in the evening still reach their hotel quickly, and the fare for the route is fixed and confirmed in writing before you travel, whichever part of town you are staying in.

Flight status is checked continuously, so the driver simply shifts the pickup time to match a late landing without it touching this short run into town at all.
