Dalaman Airport to Didim

Overview

Didim draws families who want a long sandy beach at the end of the ride, and the transfer from Dalaman Airport to Didim gives you a private car for the whole three-hour stretch north along the Aegean coast. A driver is stationed in the arrivals hall with a name board, watches your flight land and has the vehicle loaded before you have finished checking your bags. The route covers around 211 kilometres, passing through smaller coastal towns before reaching Altinkum beach and the columns of the ancient Temple of Apollo. Whichever vehicle suits your numbers, the fare for the Dalaman run to Didim is one figure agreed with our desk before you set off, not a meter running past the coastal towns.

Route details

Good to know

• Handle SIM cards or cash exchange in the Dalaman arrivals hall ahead of the coastal drive.
• Bring sun protection early, as the last stretch into Didim runs along open, shadeless coastline.
• Ask your driver about direct beachfront hotels if walking distance to the sand matters to you.
• Keep swimwear accessible in your hand luggage if you plan to head straight to the beach.
• Roads through the small coastal towns can narrow, so allow a little flexibility in arrival timing.
• Evening arrivals still reach a lively seafront, as many Didim restaurants stay open late in season.
