Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV): A Guide for Arriving Travellers
Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) serves the whole Bodrum peninsula and the nearby coast. It lies inland, near the town of Milas, about 37 km from Bodrum town – which surprises some first-time visitors who expect the airport to be on the peninsula itself. This guide explains what to expect when you land.
Where the airport is
The airport is north-east of the Bodrum peninsula, close to the Güllük Gulf. From there, the main road runs south-west onto the peninsula, with branches to the north coast (Torba, Türkbükü, Yalıkavak) and the south coast (Bodrum town, Gümbet, Bitez, Turgutreis).

Terminals
The airport has separate international and domestic terminals. If you arrive on a domestic connection – for example via Istanbul – you will come out at the domestic terminal. Your flight number tells our driver where to wait.
Getting to your hotel
- Airport buses: run to Bodrum’s bus station; from there you need a taxi or dolmuş to most resorts.
- Taxis: wait outside the terminal; metered fares on a 40–60 km journey are significant.
- Private transfer: a driver waiting in the arrivals hall with your name, at a fixed price per vehicle shown before you book.
How our transfers work
We track your flight. After baggage reclaim, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. The car is a private Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases; the first 60 minutes after landing are free, and child seats are free on request. Enter your destination on the booking form to see the fixed price.
Other airports
Some travellers use İzmir Airport (about 222 km from Bodrum) or Dalaman (about 202 km) when flights to Bodrum are limited, especially in winter. We drive from those too.
