Overview

Covering about 286.8 km, the road from Bodrum Airport to Kas threads along the Turquoise Coast, climbing through pine-covered hills before dropping to sea-level viewpoints, a crossing that generally runs four to four and a half hours. Bodrum Milas Airport is the starting point for this long coastal crossing toward Kaş, and your driver's preparation begins well before you land: tracking the incoming flight so the private Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter reserved solely for your party is already positioned at arrivals when you clear customs. Because of the distance involved, the fare for this crossing is worked out and confirmed with you on WhatsApp well before the travel date, covering the car itself rather than individual seats. Kas rewards the distance with sunken Lycian tombs, clear diving bays and a walkable old town rarely crowded with tour groups.

Route details

About the destination

Built above a small peninsula on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, Kaş keeps much of its old fishing-village character, with whitewashed houses lining narrow lanes down to the harbour. Lycian tombs cut into the rock above town and a Hellenistic amphitheatre sit within walking distance of the centre, while the clear water offshore has made the town a long-standing base for diving boats. Its compact scale means visitors explore mostly on foot, without the high-rise development found along busier stretches of coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the driver meet me at Bodrum Airport?
A Haqqi Tours driver is positioned just past the exit of Bodrum Milas Airport's arrivals hall, holding up a sign printed with your name, so spotting your ride takes only a glance once you come through the doors.
Do you pick up passengers arriving late at night?
Yes, the transfer to Kas runs at any hour, including late-night and early-morning arrivals, and your driver tracks the flight so pickup is timed to the moment you clear the terminal.
How long does the transfer from Bodrum Airport to Kas take?
Allow roughly four to four and a half hours for the 286.8 km drive along the coastal road, though timing can shift slightly with traffic near Fethiye or seasonal roadworks.
Will a car seat be ready for our child on the way to Kas?
Yes, child seats are available on request; simply mention the child's age when confirming details on WhatsApp so the right seat is fitted in the vehicle before you arrive.
How much luggage fits in the car to Kas?
Both the V-Class and the Sprinter running this Bodrum-to-Kas route hold a full-size suitcase per passenger, and any party carrying scuba tanks or extra dive bags for Kas should mention it beforehand so we send the larger Sprinter.
How is the fare for this long route worked out?
Pricing for this 286.8 km run to Kas is set for the vehicle as a whole rather than by seat, and our WhatsApp desk puts that figure in writing with you ahead of the travel date.
Is a short stop at Kaputaş Beach possible on this transfer?
Yes, since the coastal road runs directly past Kaputaş, a brief pause for photographs or a swim can be arranged when you book, though building in some extra time helps, as the roadside parking fills quickly during the summer months.
Does the drive to Kas stop anywhere along the way?
The route runs directly to your hotel or address in Kas unless you request a stop beforehand, such as a break near Fethiye; mention any preferred stop when booking.
Can I pay the driver in cash on arrival in Kas?
Whether you prefer to pay ahead of the trip or once you reach Kas, our WhatsApp desk agrees the method with you beforehand, so the driver already knows what to expect on arrival.
Is Kas old town accessible directly from where the car drops me?
Yes, the car can drop you at your hotel or accommodation in central Kas, close to the old town's narrow streets, harbour and diving boat departure points.
