Dalyan Transfer from Dalaman Airport

Dalyan is a small riverside town set among reed beds and wetlands between Lake Köyceğiz and the sea. Its best-known view is the row of rock tombs carved into the cliffs across the river, which belong to the ancient city of Kaunos. Wooden boats line the riverbank, ready to carry visitors through the winding channels to the coast.

At the river mouth lies İztuzu, a long sandy beach where loggerhead turtles nest, which keeps it protected and largely undeveloped. Dalyan itself has a relaxed, village-like character, with riverside restaurants, small shops and a calm evening atmosphere. It attracts couples, families, nature lovers and many repeat visitors who prefer a slower holiday to a big resort.

Minivan from €29, VIP from €36.

The drive from Dalaman Airport (DLM) to Dalyan is about 29 km and takes roughly 35 minutes, depending on traffic and your exact address. The route crosses the flat plain to Ortaca and then turns south on a quieter road through fields and citrus groves towards the river. It is an easy, scenic drive with no mountain passes, ideal after a flight.

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. We track your flight, so if it lands early or late the pick-up is adjusted and waiting on delays is free. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle and you travel directly to your accommodation, with no shared shuttle stops and no other passengers.

• A private vehicle for your group only
• A fixed price per vehicle, agreed before the trip
• No night surcharge and no luggage fee

Dalyan has no high-rise hotels; accommodation is mostly small and personal. Many guests stay in boutique hotels and family-run guesthouses close to the river and the town centre, within walking distance of the boats and restaurants. Others rent villas with gardens on the edge of town or in the surrounding countryside, which is popular with families and groups travelling together.

Please send us the name of your hotel or the exact location of your villa when you book. The driver takes you to the door wherever the road allows; some riverside lanes are narrow, so in a few cases you may be dropped at the nearest accessible point a short walk away.

Most days in Dalyan start or end on the river. The classic outings are easy to arrange locally, and with a private car and driver you can reach the rest of the area too:

• River boat trips – past the rock tombs and through the reed channels to İztuzu beach.
• Kaunos – the ancient city across the river, with its theatre and harbour remains.
• Mud baths and thermal springs – a popular stop on the way to Lake Köyceğiz.
• Köyceğiz – the lake town with its quiet promenade.
• Göcek, Fethiye or Marmaris – for a longer day out along the coast.

Tell us your plans when you book and we can quote a day trip or a transfer to another town on the coast.

For your return, plan to be at Dalaman Airport about 2–3 hours before an international flight – check your airline's advice. With a drive of around 35 minutes, a flight at 14:00 typically means a pick-up at about 10:45. We confirm the exact time with you in advance, and booking both directions together is the simplest option.

• Minivan – 1 to 6 passengers
• VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito – 1 to 7 passengers
• Mercedes Sprinter – 8 to 16 passengers

Child seats are free on request; just tell us the children's ages. You can book 24/7 on WhatsApp, receive a fixed-price quote within a minute, pay nothing in advance and cancel free of charge. Payment is made in the vehicle, in cash, or by card if agreed beforehand.
