Marmaris Travel Forum

Hi,
My wife and I'd be flying into Turkey in June this year and we would like to go to Marmaris. Is it better to fly into Ankara or Istanbul? From there how does one reach Marmaris? We would rather not take long road journeys.
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Nitin

Hi,

Best way to reach Marmaris is flying of course. You can find flights from both, Istanbul and Ankara to Dalaman airport. And there are "Havas" shuttle services to Marmaris from the airport. ( http://www.havas.com.tr/en/otobus_dalaman.asp )

Hi Nitin, if You fly into Istanbul or Ankara, Your options are a long coach ride to Marmaris, or a flight to Dalaman, then a 2hour+ coach ride over the mountains to Marmaris.Another possible option is flying to Rhodes (Greece) then ferry to Marmaris - but check out the latest rules for travelling and staying in Turkey from Greece and vise versa.

Just curious - Why do You want to go to Marmaris in particular?

Best Wishes,

bets to fly to dalaman if you can . There are several flights from Istanbul to dalaman if Istanbul is your only entry point. A transfer to Marmaris is about 100 ytl. Maybe cheaper to rent a car ... more info here www.marmarisyellowpages.com/carhire.asp

hi nitin it would be best to fly to dalaman then its only 1 and a half hours to mamaris by coach thats what we do lynn

the journey from dalaman airport can be a nightmare, i speak from experience. twice we have had the coach driver go to sleep at the wheel. i know it is expensive, but use taxis or minibus, and share the cost.

wow no....always fly to dalaman or to bodrum airport,,dont forget to book your transfere,,,
