Dalaman Airport to Dalyan: How to Get There

Dalaman Airport is the airport for this route, and its official airport code is DLM. DHMİ says it is open 24 hours a day, year-round.

DHMİ gives the distance from Dalaman Airport to Dalaman town as 5 km on one page and 6 km on its technical-information page. That is the distance to Dalaman town, not Dalyan. For the onward trip, choose between a direct road transfer and connecting through another town by public transport.

The airport has HAVAŞ and MUTTAŞ passenger shuttles, municipal minibuses, commercial taxis, rental cars and private vehicles. Airport transport in general does not necessarily mean a direct service to Dalyan.

A taxi or pre-arranged private transfer takes you by road from the airport toward Dalyan without a public-transport connection. Commercial taxis operate at the airport, including the Dalaman Airport Taxi Cooperative.

Taxi fares are not published, so agree the fare with the driver before setting off. For a private transfer, confirm the pickup point and price directly with the service you book.

Rental-car offices are on the arrivals level of the terminal. If you plan to drive yourself, confirm availability and terms with the rental provider before travelling.

Public transport from Dalaman Airport to Dalyan requires checking the shuttle route and onward connection rather than assuming there is a direct coach. MUTTAŞ airport routes include services between the airport and Fethiye bus station, and between the airport and Marmaris bus station; there is no direct airport–Dalyan line on its airport-route list.

Airport coaches call at Ortaca on their way to Marmaris, and you can continue from Ortaca to Dalyan by local minibus. The reported local connection, MUTTAŞ line 8-8, runs from Ortaca bus station to Dalyan. Verify both legs before setting out, since route and timetable details can change.

MUTTAŞ publishes airport information by route and provides the airport-transportation contact number 444 48 01. Check the operator’s current route information for both the airport-to-Ortaca leg and the onward service.

Choose transport based on whether you want a direct road transfer or are prepared to connect through Ortaca. For a taxi, agree the fare before departure. For a private transfer or rental car, confirm the arrangement with the provider. For public transport, verify both legs rather than checking only the airport shuttle.

MUTTAŞ airport departure times, routes and line details can change, so check its current route information before your trip.

The airport operates around the clock, but that does not mean every shuttle or local connection runs at all hours. MUTTAŞ says planned departure times may change because of weather, traffic, breakdowns, accidents or other unavoidable causes. Check the current schedules for the day and time you expect to travel.

If you take public transport, include the Ortaca connection in your plan and verify the onward minibus separately. A direct road journey from Dalaman Airport to Yakut Apart Hotel takes about 64 minutes by car.
