Overview

Finike stays off the usual holiday map, which is exactly why the transfer from Dalaman Airport to Finike appeals to travellers wanting a quieter Mediterranean marina rather than a crowded resort strip. At Dalaman, the driver assigned to your booking waits inside arrivals with your name displayed, flight already checked, so the transfer can begin as soon as luggage is in hand. The drive takes around three hours and covers roughly 204 kilometres, running through citrus-growing country before reaching a small harbour town close to the ancient ruins of Limyra. Families usually travel by V-Class, larger groups shift to the Sprinter, and either way the fare for reaching Finike is settled and confirmed on WhatsApp before the journey starts.
