The peninsula’s resorts at a glance

- Gümbet – lively beach resort just west of town.

Why private?
Airport buses go only to Bodrum’s bus station; package coaches visit many hotels around the peninsula. A private transfer goes straight to your door – which matters most for the far resorts like Yalıkavak and Turgutreis, and for villas.
Going back
For an international flight, leave Bodrum town or Gümbet about two and a half hours before departure; Yalıkavak or Turgutreis about three hours.
Booking
Choosing “Return” books both journeys with a discount on the return leg. For a guide to the airport itself, see Milas-Bodrum Airport guide; for taxis, see Bodrum taxi service.

How to book, step by step
Villas, apartments and door-to-door pickups
The Bodrum peninsula is famous for its villas – white cubes on the hillsides above Yalıkavak, Gündoğan, Türkbükü and Bitez – and for its marinas. Many of these addresses are on narrow lanes or inside gated sites. A door-to-door transfer takes you from the arrivals hall to the right gate.

Villas and gated sites
Many peninsula villas are inside gated complexes with security. Add to the booking notes: the site and villa name or number, the key holder’s phone, any gate instructions and a map pin.
Marinas
For yachts in Bodrum or Yalıkavak marina, give the marina, the boat name and the berth if known.
The journey
Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and drives directly to your address – 35 to 60 minutes depending on the area. At the villa, the bags are unloaded at the door.
Late arrivals at villas
Agree the key handover with the villa manager before you fly, especially if you land late. Make sure the phone number in your booking will be answered at your arrival time.
Moving between areas
Changing villas or hotels during your stay – for example from Gümbet to Yalıkavak – can be booked the same way, from door to door.
Supplies
For self-catering villas, if you would like a short stop at a supermarket, ask the driver at the start of the journey.
