Selimiye at a glance
Selimiye is a small fishing village on the Bozburun peninsula, south-west of Marmaris. Its houses line a sheltered bay where fishing boats and wooden gulets lie at anchor, and the hills behind are covered with pine and olive trees. There is no big resort strip here: the village is a string of small guesthouses, boutique hotels and fish restaurants along the waterfront.
Selimiye suits travellers looking for a quiet stay by the sea: couples, people who enjoy walking and swimming off wooden jetties, and sailors who join or leave a gulet in the bay. Evenings are calm, and life follows the rhythm of the boats coming in and out.

Getting there from Dalaman Airport
The transfer covers about 139 km and usually takes around 133 minutes, so plan for about two and a quarter hours on the road. From the airport the route heads west across the Dalaman plain, past Ortaca and Köyceğiz, and over forested hills down to Marmaris. After Marmaris the car turns onto the peninsula road, and the last part is long and winding, with tight bends above the coves; your driver takes it at a steady, careful pace.
When you come out of baggage claim, your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and helps with your bags. We track your flight, so an early or late landing is no problem and there is no charge for waiting on delays. A late-night arrival costs the same as a daytime one, and there are no luggage fees.
Where guests stay in Selimiye
The village is small, but places to stay are spread along the bay and up the slopes, so please send us the exact name and address:
- On the waterfront – small hotels and guesthouses facing the bay, a few steps from the jetties.
- On the hillside – villas and holiday houses above the village with views over the water.
- Around the bay – quieter spots on the edges of the village, reached by narrow lanes.
Your driver takes you to the entrance of your accommodation. Where a lane is too narrow for a vehicle, the car stops at the closest accessible point, usually a short walk away. If you are joining a gulet, tell us where it is moored and we will bring you as close as the road allows.
Things to do and day trips by private car
Selimiye is a good base for exploring the peninsula at an easy pace:
- Bozburun – the neighbouring harbour village, known for its boatyards and gulets.
- Orhaniye – the bay with the well-known Kızkumu sand bar that stretches out into the sea.
- Boat trips – day cruises from the bay to coves you can only reach by water.
- Marmaris – the marina, the old quarter below the castle and the bazaar.
- The Datça peninsula – quiet villages and clear water further west.
Send us your plan on WhatsApp and we will quote a private car for your group, with a return at a time that suits you.
Your return to Dalaman Airport
The return also takes around 133 minutes. Plan to be at Dalaman Airport about 2–3 hours before an international flight — check your airline's advice. For a 15:00 departure, for example, a pick-up in Selimiye at around 09:30 is a sensible time, because the peninsula road cannot be hurried.
Book both directions together and the return is settled before you arrive. Our vehicles:
- Minivan – 1 to 6 passengers with luggage.
- VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito – 1 to 7 passengers, extra comfort for the long drive.
- Mercedes Sprinter – 8 to 16 passengers, for groups and gulet crews.
Child seats are free on request; just tell us the children's ages.
