Dalaman Airport to Bodrum

Overview

Bodrum is the shortest of our main Dalaman routes, a drive of around two and a half to three hours covering roughly one hundred and seventy-four kilometres along the Aegean coast. Dalaman arrivals is where you first see the name card, since your driver has already logged the flight number for this Bodrum run, which is why a delay or a fast landing leaves the meeting arrangement exactly as planned. The road runs past pine-covered hills and smaller harbour towns before reaching the Bodrum peninsula, and from there the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter can reach hotels in the town centre or the quieter villages further along the coast. Wherever on the peninsula you are staying, the cost of the journey is worked out and written down for you before you travel.
