Marmaris at a glance
Marmaris is one of the best-known holiday towns on Turkey's Aegean–Mediterranean coast, set around a deep, sheltered bay framed by pine-covered mountains. At its heart is a big marina full of yachts and gulets, a long seafront promenade lined with cafés and restaurants, and a small old quarter climbing up to the castle above the harbour.
The town is famous for its lively nightlife on Bar Street, its boat trips around the bay and its busy bazaar. It attracts a wide mix of guests: families who come for the beaches, young groups looking for evenings out, sailors starting or ending a yacht charter, and many British and European visitors who return every summer or own an apartment here.

Getting there from Dalaman Airport
The transfer covers about 96 km and usually takes around 95 minutes. From the airport the road runs west across the Dalaman plain, past Ortaca and the lake town of Köyceğiz, then climbs through pine-forested hills before descending into the Marmaris bay. It is a pleasant, green route on a well-used main road.
After baggage claim, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name and helps with your luggage. We track your flight, so if it lands early or late the pick-up time adjusts and waiting on delays is free. A night arrival costs the same as a daytime one, and there are no luggage fees — handy for sailors carrying kit bags or families with pushchairs.
Where guests stay in Marmaris
Marmaris spreads along its bay, so please give us your exact hotel or address:
- Town centre and marina – hotels and apartments within walking distance of the harbour, the bazaar and Bar Street.
- The seafront strip – beach hotels lining the long promenade around the bay, popular with families.
- Armutalan and Siteler – residential areas with many holiday apartments and hotels, a little back from or further along the bay.
- The marina for yacht guests – we can take you directly to the marina if you are joining a boat.
The driver takes you to the door of your hotel. Where streets near the old town are narrow or pedestrian, the car stops at the nearest accessible point.
Things to do and day trips by private car
Marmaris is a great base for exploring the coast:
- Boat trips – classic daily cruises from the harbour to the bays and islands around Marmaris.
- İçmeler and Turunç – the neighbouring resort bays to the south-west, for a change of beach.
- The Datça peninsula – a long, narrow peninsula reached by a winding road, with quiet coves and villages.
- Dalyan – river boats, Lycian rock tombs and İztuzu turtle beach.
- Köyceğiz – the lake town with thermal springs and mud baths around the lake.

Your return to Dalaman Airport
Allow for the drive of around 95 minutes and plan to be at Dalaman Airport about 2–3 hours before an international flight — check your airline's advice. For a 14:00 departure, for example, a pick-up in Marmaris at around 09:30 is a sensible choice; in the peak summer season we may suggest leaving a little earlier.
Book both directions together and your return is settled from the start. Choose your vehicle:
- Minivan – 1 to 6 passengers with luggage.
- VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito – 1 to 7 passengers, the most comfortable option.
- Mercedes Sprinter – 8 to 16 passengers, ideal for groups, families and yacht crews.
