How to Get from Dalaman Airport (DLM) to Fethiye

The official taxi rank operates 24 hours and offers a fixed per-destination fare; pre-booked private transfers also meet any arrival. The Muttaş airport bus is timed to flight arrivals but may be less frequent late at night, so check the Muttaş platform.

The Muttaş 48-25 airport bus costs 300 TRY (about €5.40 per person) and takes about 1 hour to Fethiye Otogar. You pay by card on board, and then walk or take a short dolmuş to your hotel.

No, there is no direct airport bus to Ölüdeniz, Hisarönü or Ovacık. Take the Muttaş or Havaş bus to Fethiye Otogar, then transfer to the Fethiye–Ölüdeniz dolmuş (frequent in summer, less frequent off-season).

Many airport taxis accept card, but always confirm with the driver before setting off. Agreeing the fare or checking the meter first is recommended; cash in TRY or EUR may also be accepted but confirm the rate.

The driving distance is 55.8 km and takes about 64 minutes without heavy traffic by taxi or private transfer. The Muttaş/Havaş bus takes about 1 hour to Fethiye Otogar, plus a short onward trip to your accommodation.

A pre-booked private transfer is usually best for families: a driver meets you in Arrivals, helps with bags, and takes you directly to your hotel. A taxi also works but may be less spacious; the bus is cheapest but involves a short walk or dolmuş at the end.
