Dalaman Airport to Ölüdeniz: Your Transfer Guide
Ölüdeniz, with its famous lagoon and long beach below Babadağ mountain, is one of the most popular holiday spots on Turkey's Turquoise Coast. Dalaman Airport is the nearest international airport. Here is what to expect on the journey, from landing to arriving at your hotel or villa.
How far is it?
Ölüdeniz is about 65 km from Dalaman Airport by road. The drive usually takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. In July and August, at weekends and around Turkish public holidays, traffic through Fethiye can add some extra time.
The route
From the airport the road heads east past Göcek and on to Fethiye. After Fethiye it climbs through Ovacık and Hisarönü, then winds down to the sea at Ölüdeniz. The last stretch has bends, so if anyone in your group gets car sick, let your driver know and sit at the front.
After you land
- International flights at Dalaman use Terminal 2.
- After passport control and baggage collection, walk through to the arrivals hall.
- Your Jolly Transfers driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name.
- There are ATMs and currency exchange desks in the terminal if you want some Turkish lira.
Private transfer, shuttle or taxi?
Shared shuttles stop at several hotels on the way, so the journey takes longer. Taxis wait outside the terminal, but for a longer journey like Ölüdeniz a pre-booked private transfer gives you a price agreed in advance and no queue at the rank.
With Jolly Transfers the vehicle is just for you and your group. You pay on arrival, you can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before pickup, and if your flight is delayed your driver waits for up to 4 hours at no extra cost.
