Where do I get it from?

Convenience

Taking an airport taxi or Bodrum airport private transfer is by far the easiest and most comfortable transportation option as they provide round the clock door-to-door services straight to Bodrum centre or to your hotel. Moreover, if you are travelling with children or heavy luggage it is highly recommended to take a taxi as finding your way around public transportation in a new city can be tedious.

Editor’s Note

It is good to know that taxis in Turkey are not expensive, especially compared to other European countries. Moreover, there is no difference between day, night or weekend fares.

Useful Tips

It is important to check that the taximeter has been reset and is running before you start your Bodrum airport transfer to the centre.

It is not common to give your driver a tip in Turkey, however, like most countries, tips are always appreciated; most travellers round up their end taxi fare to a higher number.

It is highly recommended to carry cash in the local currency (Turkish Lira) when taking a taxi, as most taxis do not have card machines in their vehicles.

Useful Tips

You can easily purchase your Havas shuttle ticket directly from the driver, in cash.

The final bus stop within Bodrum city centre is Bodrum Bus Terminal (Otogar) located only 5 minutes walk away from the city centre.
