Bodrum Airport terminals and where to find transport

Bodrum Airport is officially Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV). It sits near Güvercinlik on the mainland, about 35 km from Bodrum town, so even the town centre is a proper road trip rather than a quick hop. There are two passenger terminals: an international terminal and a domestic terminal. Taxi ranks operate around the clock outside both, and the shuttle buses leave from their own platforms just outside the terminal exit. If you are travelling with friends on a domestic flight, agree in advance which terminal you will meet at.

Bodrum Airport bus: Havaş and Muttaş shuttles to Bodrum town

Two companies run airport buses on the Bodrum route, and both are set up around flights rather than a clock-face timetable. They are the cheapest way from Bodrum Airport to Bodrum town.

Havaş airport shuttle

Havaş runs from the airport via Meşelik junction and the new Bodrum bus station (Torba Yeni Otogar) to the old bus station in the town centre (Bodrum Eski Otogar). The fare is 270 TL (about €5) and the trip takes around 35–45 minutes depending on traffic. In the airport-to-town direction there is no fixed timetable – services are arranged for arriving flights, and you board at the Havaş platform outside the terminal exit. Ask at the ticket desk for the next departure. Havaş says its times can change with weather or flight cancellations, so check on 0850 222 0 487 or via the Havaş bus services page if you are relying on a late connection.

Muttaş line 48-24

Muttaş, the transport company of Muğla Metropolitan Municipality, runs line 48-24 between Bodrum and the airport. Fares depend on where you get off: 270 TL to Torba bus station and 220 TL to Güvercinlik (in front of the Jet Migros supermarket). Cash is not accepted – pay with a bank card on board. From the airport, buses meet every arriving domestic and international flight: collect your bags, walk to the Muttaş platform at the terminal exit, and the bus leaves once passengers have boarded. Reservations are not taken, and extra vehicles are added when a bus fills up. Route details are on the Muttaş airport services page, or call 444 48 01.

Muttaş also runs line 48-22 from the airport to Milas and to Menteşe bus station in Muğla city, if you are heading inland.

Getting on to your hotel from the bus station

The shuttles do not go to the resorts on the peninsula. From the old bus station in Bodrum town, local dolmuş minibuses and taxis go on to Gümbet, Bitez, Ortakent, Turgutreis, Yalıkavak and Türkbükü. That makes the bus good value for Bodrum town itself, but for a peninsula hotel with heavy bags the change adds time and effort, and a taxi or transfer straight from the airport is usually simpler.

Bodrum Airport taxi price

Taxis wait outside both terminals 24 hours a day and run on the meter. Muğla province taxi tariffs rose in 2026 and are usually reported at around 150 TL to start plus 50 TL per kilometre, while the Bodrum bus station taxi rank publishes its own meter-based estimates for airport runs. Using both, and road distances from the airport, rough fares are:

• Bodrum town centre (about 36 km): around 1,950–2,300 TL (€35–€42)
• Gümbet and Bitez (about 38–40 km): around 2,050–2,450 TL (€37–€45)
• Türkbükü and Gündoğan (about 45–50 km): around 2,400–3,200 TL (€44–€58)
• Yalıkavak (about 52 km): around 2,750–3,300 TL (€50–€60)
• Turgutreis (about 54–55 km): around 2,850–3,400 TL (€52–€62)

These are estimates, not fixed prices. Make sure the meter is running when you set off, and for the longer trips to Yalıkavak, Turgutreis or Türkbükü it is reasonable to ask the driver for an expected total before loading the bags. In peak summer the taxi queue at arrivals can be long when several charter flights land together.

Uber and taxi apps at Bodrum Airport

Uber lists a taxi service in Bodrum, but in Turkey it books licensed taxis (Uber Taxi) rather than private cars, so the price is close to the meter fare. The advantage is a tracked trip and a record of the driver. The drawback is that availability at the airport is not guaranteed, especially late at night or when many flights arrive at once, because drivers have to accept the job and drive out from the peninsula. Do not count on an app as your only plan.

Pre-booked private transfers from Bodrum Airport

Most people flying into Bodrum are staying not in the town but in a resort or villa somewhere on the peninsula, often 45 minutes to over an hour from the airport. That is where a pre-booked private transfer makes most sense: a driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, tracks your flight if it is late, and takes you straight to the door at a price agreed in advance, usually per vehicle and often quoted in euros. It is worth considering when:

• you are going to Yalıkavak, Turgutreis, Türkbükü or Gündoğan, where the meter adds up;
• you land late at night, or your villa is up a narrow road a bus could never reach;
• you are a family needing child seats, or a group that needs a minivan for six to eight people and luggage;
• you would rather not queue at the taxi rank on a busy summer weekend.

Bodrum Airport to Gümbet, Turgutreis, Yalıkavak and Türkbükü

Bodrum Airport to Gümbet and Bitez

Gümbet and Bitez lie just west of Bodrum town, about 38–40 km from the airport and around 40–50 minutes by car. On a budget, take the Havaş shuttle to the old bus station in Bodrum and change to a local dolmuş. Otherwise a taxi is roughly 2,050–2,450 TL.

Bodrum Airport to Turgutreis

Turgutreis is on the western tip of the peninsula, about 55 km and around an hour by road. There is no direct airport bus, so the options are shuttle plus dolmuş from Bodrum, a taxi (around 2,850–3,400 TL) or a pre-booked transfer.

Bodrum Airport to Yalıkavak

Yalıkavak, with its marina, is on the north-west coast, about 52 km and roughly 55–70 minutes away. Many visitors stay in villas outside the village, so a transfer that drops you at the door is usually the easiest choice.

Bodrum Airport to Türkbükü and Gündoğan

The north-coast bays of Türkbükü and Gündoğan are around 45–50 km from the airport, typically 50–75 minutes depending on summer traffic. Expect a taxi to cost roughly 2,400–3,200 TL.

Further afield: Marmaris and Kuşadası

Some travellers use Bodrum Airport for holidays in Marmaris or Kuşadası. Both are long road trips of around two hours or more, so a pre-booked vehicle is the realistic option – see Marmaris transfers and Kuşadası transfers. For Kuşadası, flights into İzmir may be more convenient; compare İzmir Airport transfers.

Tips for arriving at Bodrum Airport

• Night arrivals. Muttaş says its buses meet every arriving flight, but if you land in the small hours, confirm by phone (444 48 01) or arrange a transfer so you are not stuck at the bus station in town.
• Use the official taxi rank. Ignore people who approach you inside the terminal offering rides. Licensed taxis queue at the rank outside, have a roof sign and a meter.
• Payment. Muttaş buses take bank cards only, no cash. Many taxis accept cards, but carry some lira in case the card reader is unavailable. Transfer companies often accept euros.
• Tipping. Not expected in taxis; rounding up is common. For a driver who helps with heavy luggage, a small tip is appreciated.
• Peak traffic. In July and August, and on weekend changeover days, the road from the airport and the roads around Bodrum town get congested. Allow extra time on the way back, and remember the airport is a long way from the western resorts.
• Going back to the airport. Muttaş buses from Bodrum leave about two hours before flight departures and do not take reservations, so arrive early at the stop.
