From Dalaman Airport to Gocek
Most people come to Gocek via Dalaman Airport, about 20 miles (35km) away. From the airport you’ve a couple of ways to reach Marmaris:
- By Taxi – the rank is right outside the arrivals hall. Fares are regulated, in theory, but you might want to agree the price before you set off, if only so the driver knows that you know! There’s a large board near the rank giving the standard fares, or you can check them on the airport website. The current fare (March 2014) is 80 TL, about £23.
- By Public Bus – no public services run from the airport, so you’ll have to take a taxi to Dalaman bus station, on the north side of Dalaman town, about 5 miles from the airport. From there you can get bus direct to Gocek, though it will usually drop you on the main road, about 15 minutes walk from town. All in all it’s a lot of trouble to save probably less than £10 for a single traveller, even less if there are more of you.
The usual two alternatives are available – you can book a private transfer online, or there are a couple of car hire companies at the airport. Many yacht suppliers can also arrange private transfers and one or two include them for free with your yacht booking.
