From Dalaman Airport to Fethiye
Fethiye is about 45 miles (70km) from Dalaman Airport. From the airport you’ve a couple of ways to reach Fethiye:
- By Taxi – the rank is right outside the arrivals hall. Fares are regulated, in theory, but I suggest you agree the fare in advance. 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, about the same as the fare to Gocek, though it’s twice the distance.
- By Airport Shuttle Bus – this leaves from the Domestic Terminal; if you’ve come in to the International Terminal, exit the arrivals hall and turn left. It’s about a 200m walk. The buses, run by Havas, are infrequent – only three or four a day. The fare is 10TL. Check the times on www.havas.net. The bus terminates at the main bus station, which is about a mile and a half from Ece Saray Marina so you’ll probably want to get a cab.
- 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 Fethiye. From fethiye bus station follow the directions above.
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.
