Marmaris Airport Transfer: Dalaman or Bodrum Airport to Marmaris
Marmaris sits in a deep, pine-fringed bay on the Aegean–Mediterranean border, with a lively harbour, a marina, a castle above the old town and the quieter resorts of İçmeler and Turunç around the bay. Most visitors fly into Dalaman Airport; some arrive via Milas-Bodrum. A private transfer takes you from either straight to your hotel.
Dalaman or Bodrum?
- Dalaman Airport (DLM) – about 96 km, around 1 hour 35 minutes via Köyceğiz and the forest road over the hills. The usual choice.
- Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) – about 131 km, around 2 hours. Useful if your flight goes there.
Where in Marmaris?
- Marmaris town and the marina – harbour, old town and the long seafront.
- Armutalan and Siteler – hotels and apartments behind and along the beach.
- İçmeler – about 8 km round the bay, a quieter resort.
- Turunç – a small bay further south, reached by a winding road.
Price
Transfers are priced per vehicle – a private Mercedes Vito for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases. Enter your airport and hotel on the booking form and the fixed price is shown before you pay. Airport fees and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing are included.
Meeting your driver
We follow your flight. After passport control and baggage reclaim, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Child seats are free on request.
The drive from Dalaman
The road runs west through the farmland of Ortaca and past Köyceğiz lake, then climbs through pine forest above the Gulf of Gökova before dropping into Marmaris bay. It is a pleasant drive in daylight; at night, a driver who knows it is a real advantage.
Going back
For an international flight from Dalaman, leave Marmaris about three and a half hours before departure; from İçmeler or Turunç, a little earlier.
Booking
Choosing “Return” on the booking form books both journeys with a discount on the return leg. For Dalaman Airport, see Dalaman airport transfer.
Fixed fare to Marmaris
From Dalaman Airport to Marmaris town the fare is €73 per vehicle, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases. İçmeler, Turunç and the villages of the Bozburun peninsula are priced by distance; the fixed price for your address is shown on the booking form before you pay.
How to book, step by step
Villas, apartments and door-to-door pickups

Where we drive

Villas and apartments
Add to the booking notes: the villa or building name, a map pin or landmark, the key holder’s phone and any gate code. On the peninsula, roads are narrow and winding; the driver goes as close as possible.
The journey
Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign, loads the luggage and drives about 1 hour 35 minutes to Marmaris, longer to Turunç or Selimiye. At your address, the bags are unloaded at the door.
Arriving late at an apartment
Many visitors to Marmaris rent apartments in Armutalan or Siteler. If you arrive after midnight, agree the key handover with the owner in advance and make sure the phone number in your booking will be answered.
Moving on
For transfers between Marmaris and other resorts – Dalyan, Fethiye, Datça or Bodrum Airport – book a fixed-price transfer from door to door.
Old town and marina
Some hotels and guesthouses in Marmaris’s old town are in pedestrian lanes near the castle. The driver stops as close as vehicle access allows.

All-inclusive resorts

Resort areas and journey times from Dalaman
- Marmaris town and marina – about 1 hour 35 minutes.
- Armutalan and Siteler – a few minutes further along the bay.
- İçmeler – about 1 hour 50 minutes.
- Turunç – about 2 hours 10 minutes, on a winding road.
Prices are per vehicle for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases, shown on the booking form before you pay.
Arriving at the resort
Your driver stops at the main reception and unloads your luggage. If your room is not ready, the hotel will usually store your bags. On the busy seafront in summer, the driver stops as close to the entrance as traffic allows.
Check-out day
Check-out is usually around midday. With an evening flight, ask about late check-out, and book your pickup about three and a half hours before an international departure from Dalaman – a little earlier from İçmeler or Turunç.
Resort coach or private transfer?
Package coaches serve many hotels around the bay. A private transfer goes only to yours, waits for your flight and has room for the whole family’s luggage.
Families at Marmaris resorts
İçmeler’s sheltered beach and the long beach at Siteler are popular with families. A private transfer with free child seats makes the arrival easy, and the Vito has room for buggies and extra bags.
Around Marmaris
Water taxis link Marmaris, İçmeler and Turunç in summer; boat trips explore the bays; ferries leave for Rhodes. For trips by road – Dalyan, Datça, the Bozburun peninsula – see transfers from Marmaris.
Fixed fare to Marmaris
From Dalaman Airport to Marmaris town the fare is €73 per vehicle, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases. İçmeler, Turunç and the villages of the Bozburun peninsula are priced by distance; the fixed price for your address is shown on the booking form before you pay.
Airport taxi or pre-booked transfer?
A taxi from Dalaman Airport
Airport taxis charge by the meter or local rates. For an hour and a half’s drive, the fare is substantial and depends on the route. Taxis are usually saloons; with luggage, a family may need two. In summer, when charter flights land in waves, the queue can be long.
How to choose
- Price certainty: a long metered ride is unpredictable; a transfer is fixed.
- Space: six passengers and six suitcases in one vehicle.
- Night arrivals: a driver waiting inside instead of a queue outside.
- Children: free child seats.
- No cash needed: paid online in advance.
Taxis in Marmaris
In Marmaris itself, taxis and dolmuş minibuses run along the bay between the town, Armutalan, Siteler and İçmeler, and water taxis link the town with İçmeler and Turunç in summer. For short trips, they are ideal; for the airport, a pre-booked transfer is the calmer option.
The airport bus
Airport buses run from Dalaman to Marmaris’s bus station. They are economical, but you still need a taxi from the bus station to your hotel.
Hotel transfers in Marmaris
Compared with the alternatives
- Airport bus: to Marmaris bus station, then a taxi.
- Package coach: stops at many hotels.
- Taxi: metered for 96 km.
- Private transfer: fixed price, flight-tracked, 60 minutes free waiting, driver with your name.
Check-in and check-out
Rooms are usually ready in the early afternoon; check-out is around midday. After a morning arrival, the hotel will normally store your luggage. On departure day, ask about late check-out.
Late arrivals
Many flights land at Dalaman late in the evening. Let your hotel know you will arrive around midnight or later.
Hotels on the seafront
The seafront road is busy on summer evenings, and parts of the centre are pedestrian. The driver stops as close to your hotel’s entrance as possible.
Apartments around the bay
Many visitors stay in apartments in Armutalan, Siteler or İçmeler rather than hotels. For these, add the building name, flat number and the owner’s phone in the booking notes, and agree the key handover before you fly.
