Bodrum Airport to Gazipasa
Overview
The drive from Bodrum Airport to Gazipaşa covers roughly 440 kilometres, so this is a full cross-coast journey rather than a short hop, and we treat it that way, with a driver who plans the route, builds in a stop, and keeps you updated on progress. Bodrum's own airport sits on the Aegean side, so the Mercedes assigned to this booking crosses two coastlines before the banana groves signal Gazipaşa is close, with your family's name already on the driver's board when you clear customs. Before you leave Bodrum, the Gazipaşa fare has already been written down on WhatsApp, so the only thing left to do at the roadside is enjoy the coastline going by. Gazipaşa rewards the distance with quiet rock pools, banana groves and ruins few visitors reach by any other means.
