From Dalaman Airport
The road follows the D400 west through Ortaca and Köyceğiz to the Gökova junction, then runs south over the hills to Marmaris. For the airport itself, its terminals, and resorts such as Göcek, Dalyan and Fethiye, see our Dalaman Airport guide. For Marmaris you have 4 options:
- Airport bus: Muttaş, the transport company of Muğla Metropolitan Municipality, runs a Marmaris line for 420 TL (October 2026). It stops at Ortaca, Köyceğiz and the Gökova junction and takes about 1.5 hours to Marmaris bus station, on the edge of town. The airport's website also lists Havaş on this route. From the airport it has no fixed timetable: departures follow the landing times of domestic flights, so after an international flight you may wait. Muttaş accepts cards on all its buses and takes no reservations.
- Taxi: from the cooperative's rank outside the international terminal, 5,000 TL or 100 euros to Marmaris on its list. Confirm the fare before you set off.
- Rental car: rental desks on the arrivals floor are open 24 hours.
- Private transfer: straight to your address, as described below.
From Marmaris bus station, taxis and dolmuşes (shared minibuses) take you on to your hotel. For the trip home, buses leave Marmaris bus station for the airport at set times, 4–6 a day in late October 2026. Check the times for your day on ulasim.muttas.com.tr.
From Milas-Bodrum Airport
Milas-Bodrum Airport is 36 km northeast of Bodrum and 16 km south of Milas. The road to Marmaris runs inland via Milas, Yatağan and the Muğla ring road, then south to the coast. For the airport and the Bodrum peninsula, see our Bodrum Airport guide.
- Bus: there is no direct bus to Marmaris. Muttaş runs an airport bus via Milas and Yatağan to Muğla bus station (Menteşe Otogar), 350 TL in October 2026. From Muğla, intercity buses reach Marmaris in about 1 hour. The airport bus follows domestic arrivals and does not stop at the international terminal, so if you arrive from abroad, go to the domestic terminal to board. Allow at least 2.5 hours for the whole trip, plus waiting time.
- Taxi: we could not confirm a published fare to Marmaris, so ask the price before you get in.
- Private transfer: about 2 hours to Marmaris town, door to door.
Getting to the bays
İçmeler, Armutalan and Siteler
These areas are 3–8 km from the centre, so they add only 5–15 minutes to the trip. The airport bus does not go there: from Marmaris bus station, take a taxi or a dolmuş.
Turunç
Turunç is a small resort over the hills from İçmeler. The last part of the drive is a winding hill road, and it takes about 30 minutes from Marmaris centre. With luggage, a taxi or transfer is much easier than changing minibuses.
The Bozburun peninsula
Orhaniye is about 27 km from Marmaris, Selimiye about 43 km and Bozburun about 52 km, which takes about 1 hour by car. The road is good but curvy. If you are staying in a villa or small hotel here, a ride to the door saves carrying bags from a minibus stop.
2 places called Hisarönü
The Hisarönü near Marmaris is the village on the Datça road, about 18 km west of the centre, where you turn off for the Bozburun peninsula. The resort of Hisarönü above Ölüdeniz, near Fethiye, is on the other side of Dalaman Airport. Always give your full address when you arrange a ride.
Private transfer to Marmaris
