Dalaman Holiday Transfers: Planning Your Arrival and Departure
Dalaman Airport is the starting point for holidays across the south-west coast. This guide brings together everything you need to plan the transfers at both ends of your trip.
Before you travel
- Book once your flights are confirmed – summer weekends are the busiest days.
- Book both directions together: choose “Return” on the search form; you pay once and the return leg is discounted.
- Add your flight number for tracking.
- For villas, add the villa name, village and key holder’s phone.
- Mention children’s ages – child seats are free.
Arrival day
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name; the first 60 minutes after landing are free. The fixed price for your route, per vehicle, is shown before you pay. Journey times: Sarıgerme 25 minutes, Göcek 30, Dalyan 45, Fethiye 50, Ölüdeniz 75, Marmaris about 95.
During your holiday
- Dalyan’s river boats to the Kaunos rock tombs and İztuzu beach.
- Köyceğiz lake and the hot springs on its shore.
- Göcek’s bays by boat.
- Fethiye’s Saklıkent gorge and Kayaköy.
- Marmaris’s harbour and the Bozburun peninsula.
Departure day
For an international flight from Dalaman, leave Göcek or Dalyan about two hours before departure, Fethiye two and a half, Ölüdeniz two and three quarters and Marmaris three and a half. Your driver collects you from your accommodation.
Where to stay
Each area around Dalaman has its own character: Sarıgerme for long sandy beaches and big resorts, Dalyan for its river and nature, Göcek for yachts and quiet bays, Fethiye and Ölüdeniz for activities and nightlife, Marmaris for a lively harbour town. The transfer time from the airport is a good tiebreaker if you are undecided.
Out of season
Dalaman has fewer flights in winter. If you are travelling then, compare with Antalya Airport, about three hours from Fethiye (fixed fare €160).
