Bodrum Ancient Theatre Transfer: Private Car from BJV

Bodrum stands on the site of ancient Halicarnassus, the city of King Mausolus. Its theatre was built into the slope above the town in the 4th century BC and enlarged in Roman times. Rows of stone seats rise up the hill, and from the top you look straight down over the town, the bay, the marina and Bodrum Castle on its rocky point.

The theatre lies right beside the main road that leads out of Bodrum towards Gümbet and Turgutreis, so it is one of the easiest ancient sites on the peninsula to reach. It has at times been used for concerts and events; for current visiting information, check locally before you go.

From Milas-Bodrum Airport the theatre is about 36 km, roughly 40 minutes by road along the main highway onto the peninsula and into Bodrum town.

• From Bodrum centre: a short ride up the hill.
• From Gümbet and Bitez: a few minutes over the hill on the main road.
• From Ortakent and Turgutreis: east along the peninsula road.
• From Yalıkavak, Gündoğan and Türkbükü: across the peninsula from the north coast.
• From Torba: a short drive along the bay into town.

The road beside the theatre is busy, so the driver drops you at the nearest safe point by the entrance. In summer Bodrum's streets fill up in the evening; allow some extra time.

The theatre faces the sun and the stone seats get hot in summer, so the morning or the late afternoon is more comfortable than midday. The late afternoon light over the castle and the bay is especially good for photos. Bring water, a hat and shoes with grip, as the old steps are uneven.

Easy to combine in one Bodrum day:

• the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world
• the Myndos Gate, part of the old city walls
• Bodrum Castle and its Museum of Underwater Archaeology
• the marina and the seafront promenade

Bodrum's sights are spread over the town and the hills, and parking in summer is not easy. With your own car and driver you go from the theatre to the Mausoleum and the castle, stop for lunch by the sea and return to your hotel without stress. Tell us your plan, we tell you what is possible, and we agree the pick-up time back when booking. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person.

• Minivan (VW Caravelle class) for 1–6 people
• VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito with leather seats for 1–7 people
• Mercedes Sprinter for families and groups of 8–16

Child seats are free on request, and an evening return costs nothing extra: there is no night surcharge.

Whether you stay in Bodrum town, Gümbet, Bitez, Turgutreis or Yalıkavak, we drive you straight from Milas-Bodrum Airport to your hotel. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign; we track your flight and wait for free if it is delayed. There is no luggage fee.

On the return day we collect you at your hotel and plan the time so you reach the airport 2–3 hours before an international flight; check your airline's advice.
