Dalaman Airport to Patara Transfer

Patara lies about 121 km from Dalaman Airport, and the drive usually takes around 2 hours 15 minutes – a little longer in peak summer traffic. The road leads south-east past Göcek and through the Göcek tunnel, skirts Fethiye and then continues towards Kalkan; the turn-off to Patara comes shortly before Kalkan.

Compared with the big resorts, Patara is calm and low-key: a wide sandy beach backed by dunes, the remains of the ancient city, and small hotels, guesthouses and village houses close by. Addresses here can be informal, so please send us the name of your accommodation and, ideally, a location pin. Your driver will bring you right to the door rather than leaving you at the beach road.

Once you have collected your luggage, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. We follow your flight, so an early or late landing is no problem: the pick-up time shifts automatically, and waiting for a delayed flight costs nothing extra.

There is no night surcharge – useful when your flight lands late and Patara is still two hours away. And because we only run private transfers, there is no shared shuttle and no detour to drop other guests at their hotels. From the terminal you go directly to your accommodation in Patara, and you can doze off on the way if the day has been long.

• Minivan – 1 to 6 passengers, the practical choice for couples and families.
• VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito – 1 to 7 passengers, more space and comfort for the long drive.
• Mercedes Sprinter – 8 to 16 passengers, for groups of friends or several families travelling together.

Bringing a pushchair, beach gear or extra bags? Just mention it so we send a vehicle with enough room – there is no luggage fee. Child seats and baby seats are free on request. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person; see the price table above.

Many guests book the return to the airport straight away. Allow about 2 hours 15 minutes for the drive and plan to reach the airport 2–3 hours before an international flight, so leaving Patara around 4.5 to 5 hours before departure works well. Depending on your flight, Antalya Airport can also be an alternative from Patara – we serve both, so ask us which fits better.
