✈ Getting from Dalaman Airport to City Centre

Dalaman is located on the southwestern coast of Turkey, in the Muğla Province. It is famous for its unspoilt beaches, crystal clear seas, mud spas and delicious cuisine. Between relaxing by the Blue Lagoon, or exploring Dalaman’s ancient cities, it has become very popular amongst tourists

If you are looking to get to Dalaman’s city centre after landing at Dalaman International Airport (DLM), there is unfortunately only one transportation option, to take a taxi or a private transfer. As taxis and private transfers are inexpensive in Turkey, buses leaving the airport only serve towns further away, such as Marmaris, or Fethiye. Dalaman airport taxis and private transfers are a reliable and safe way to travel, offering 24/7 door-to-door services from Dalaman airport to the city centre.
