    Getting TO/AROUND: As there is not enough plain near bodrum, for many years there was no airport nearby.. Small airport nearby was too far to reply the demand.. And many charter flights were flying to Izmir, which is 250 km away..

    In the year 2000, new Bodrum airport has started for operation. The airport is 40 km away from Bodrum town center. The new airport is hosting some 2- 2,5 millon tourists in a year. And especially in summer time it is over crowded..

    There is no regular bus or train connection from the airport to Bodrum. There are Coaches of Havas, but they operate in paralel hours with the THY flights.. So if your flight lands, when there is no Turkish airlines Flight, you need to take a taxi from the airport..

    Turkish Airlines have direct flights to Istanbul and there are many charter companies flying in summer time..

    Bodrum airport: +90 252 523 01 01
    Airport Tax: +90 252 536 61 47

    Getting TO/AROUND: When you reached the Bodrum airport, if you dont have a bus or car waiting for you, than you should most probably be getting on to a taxi..

    For many tourists Taxis are a kind of nightmare, they always think that they will be ripped off as its their first time there...But you can feel comfortable in Bodrum.

    Taxi prices are set to one fix rate, and changing according to the location.. There is no taximeter but a fix rate.. And these prices are listed on a panel, where you get your taxi..

    So this helps you to know how much you are going to pay.. No risk of being ripped off, and no place for the feeling "Is he taking the longest way to take more money??"

    Taxi prices are valid 24 hrs, and they are in Turkish lira.. the picture shows the distances the prices for 2003.. Dont be dazzled with the zeros, 1 Euro= 1650,000 TRL, So taxi to Bodrum from the airport is around 30,- Euro..

    Getting TO/AROUND: You can reach bodrum from all major cities of Turkiye. Bodrum bus terminal is in the middle of the town, where you can also take buses to other locations, or nearby town and cities..

    Most people are travelling to Bodrum from Izmir, Istanbul and Ankara..

    Bodrum is 250 km from Izmir and 840 km from Istanbul.. The road between Izmir and Bodrum is though so it takes longer hours than expected.. So if you are travelling from Istanbul, a night bus from a reputable company is adviced.

    Many buses do continue to Turgutreis and Yalikavak also.. Some major bus companies are Boss, Pamukkale, Kamil koc, Varan and Ulusoy..

    Bus Companies Phone Numbers
    (all these companies have their offices in the the bus station - otogar)
    Varan (90-252)3167849
    Ulusoy (90-252)3130167
    Pamukkale (90-252)3166632
    Kamil Koç (90-252)3165350
