From Milas-Bodrum Airport to Bardakçı Bay
The airport lies inland, north-east of the Bodrum peninsula, so the drive first follows the main road south-west towards the coast and then descends into Bodrum. Bardakçı is a small bay on the western edge of the town, so the last stretch runs through Bodrum's streets before reaching the shore. Allow about 38 km and around 45 minutes; summer evenings, when town traffic is heavier, can add a little time.
Being so close to the centre is the appeal of Bardakçı for many couples: the marina and the town are a short ride away, while the bay itself is a quieter corner of Bodrum.

Landing late at night
Many flights to Bodrum land late in the evening or after midnight, and that is exactly when a pre-booked private transfer helps most. There is no night surcharge – the fixed price is the same at 2 a.m. as at noon – and there is no luggage fee either.
- Meet & greet – the driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign
- Flight tracking – if your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts and waiting is free
- Private vehicle – no shared shuttle calling at other hotels on the way
For two people a Minivan is plenty; if you would like a little more comfort after a long flight, choose the VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito.
Arriving at the hotel
Tell us the hotel name and your flight number when you book, and the driver will take you straight to Salmakis Resort & Spa. Larger resorts often have a main gate and a separate reception building; if that is the case, the driver will drop you as close to reception as possible. Check-in times are set by the hotel, so if you land very early, it is worth asking the hotel in advance about an early room.
Booking, payment and the return trip
Message us on WhatsApp, 24/7, with the hotel name, flight number and number of passengers, and you will receive a fixed-price quote within 1 minute. The price is per vehicle, not per person. There is no prepayment: you pay in the vehicle, in cash or by card if agreed in advance, and cancellation is free. Free child seats are available on request.
You can book the return at the same time. Count on around 45 minutes to the airport plus 2–3 hours there before an international flight, and please be in the lobby at the agreed time.
