Transfers from Dalaman airport to Marmaris

Marmaris is around 95 km west of Dalaman Airport, following the D400 through Ortaca, Köyceğiz and Gökova. It's one of the longer airport runs on the Turkish coast. İçmeler sits a further 8 km beyond Marmaris centre, adding around 15 minutes for anyone staying there rather than in the town itself.

A private transfer to Marmaris takes around 1 hour 30 minutes. Marmaris is one of the farthest resorts from Dalaman Airport, so the trip on the D400 takes you all the way through the hills around Gökova, which adds time beyond what the distance alone implies.

A shared coach transfer from Dalaman Airport to Marmaris takes around two to two and a half hours. The standard shuttle carries more passengers and makes more stops along the way, while the express shuttle is capped at four stops for a faster journey. Both options drop you directly at your accommodation rather than at a bus stop or otogar.

A public bus runs between Dalaman Airport and Marmaris throughout the day and night, with around 15 to 20 departures daily in peak season. Outbound buses from Marmaris run to a fixed timetable, but return departures from the airport are timed to flight arrivals, so the wait can be unpredictable. The journey takes around two and a half hours. The bus terminates at Marmaris's main bus station outside the town centre, so a local taxi or bus is needed to reach most hotels.

A metered taxi from Dalaman Airport to Marmaris costs anywhere between €60 and €90 depending on traffic and the exact hotel location.
