Dalaman Airport (DLM): Havaş Bus or Private Transfer to Fethiye, Ölüdeniz and Marmaris?
The Havaş buses from Dalaman go to Fethiye, Marmaris and Göcek bus stations. What that means for Ölüdeniz, Kalkan or Turunç, and when a private transfer is worth it.

Short answer: the Havaş / Muttaş airport buses from Dalaman (DLM) go to Fethiye, Marmaris, Göcek, Ortaca and Köyceğiz bus stations and leave according to flight arrivals. They work well if you stay in one of those town centres. For Ölüdeniz, Hisarönü or Kalkan you change at Fethiye bus station, and resorts such as Turunç, Kaş or Datça are a long way from any airport bus stop.

Dalaman Airport sits between the Fethiye and Marmaris coasts, so almost every holiday destination is a drive of between 20 minutes and two and a half hours away. Whether the bus is a good idea depends mainly on how far your hotel is from the bus station at the end of the line.

When the airport bus works

  • You stay in central Fethiye or Marmaris, close to the bus station.
  • You travel alone or as a couple with light luggage: the bus fare is per person.

When a private transfer is the better choice

  • You stay in Ölüdeniz, Hisarönü or Ovacık: the bus needs a change at Fethiye bus station with your luggage.
  • You stay in Kalkan, Kaş, Turunç, Bozburun or Datça: 105 to 145 minutes from the airport by car, far beyond the airport bus routes.
  • You travel as a family or group: a private transfer is priced per vehicle, and child seats are free on airport transfers.
