Summer traffic on the peninsula, especially on weekend evenings, can add time.
Private transfer
The most convenient way to reach villas, hotels and marinas around the peninsula. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and takes you door to door, with a fixed price agreed in advance. Ideal for families and groups with luggage, and for late-night arrivals when other options are limited.
Airport shuttle bus
Shuttle buses run between the airport and Bodrum bus station, timed around flights. They are inexpensive, but resorts outside the town need an extra taxi or minibus ride.
Taxi
Taxis wait at the terminal and charge by the meter. Because of the distance to the resorts, fares add up quickly.
Tips
- Book ahead in July and August: demand at the airport is very high.
- Add your flight number so your driver can follow delays.
- Staying in a villa? Add the exact address or a note for the driver when booking.
