Updated 13 min readAuthor: Mavi Transfer

How do you get from Dalaman Airport to Turunc? If you are planning a holiday in Turunc, a peaceful coastal resort near Marmaris, there are several ways to reach your hotel, including private airport transfers, taxis, public transport and car hire.

The distance from Dalaman Airport (DLM) to Turunc is approximately 110–120 kilometres, depending on the route and the exact location of your accommodation.

A direct journey by car or private transfer generally takes around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

However, travelling to Turunc involves more than simply following the road to Marmaris.

Is there a direct bus from Dalaman Airport to Turunc? How much does a private transfer cost? What is the best option for late-night arrivals? And how can you travel directly to your hotel without changing vehicles?

In this 2027 Dalaman Airport to Turunc travel guide, we compare the available transport options and explain the important details to consider before your holiday.

Why Does Turunc Take Longer to Reach Than Marmaris?

Although Turunc belongs to the Marmaris district, it is not located in Marmaris town centre.

After reaching Marmaris, vehicles usually continue towards Icmeler before taking the winding road to Turunc.

This additional section means that journey times quoted for Marmaris should not automatically be used for Turunc.

If you are arranging a transfer after a long flight, allowing for the extra journey time is particularly important.


How to Travel from Dalaman Airport to Turunc

There are four main ways to reach Turunc:

  1. Private airport transfer

  2. Taxi

  3. Public transport via Marmaris and Icmeler

  4. Car hire

The most suitable option depends on your arrival time, number of passengers, luggage and the exact location of your accommodation.

1. Private Transfer from Dalaman Airport to Turunc

If you want to travel directly from Dalaman Airport to your hotel in Turunc without changing vehicles, a pre-booked private transfer is one of the most convenient options.

Your vehicle is arranged before your flight and takes you from the airport to your specified hotel or accommodation address.

This option can be especially practical for couples, families with children, groups and travellers carrying several suitcases.

Benefits of a Private Turunc Airport Transfer

  • Direct transport from Dalaman Airport to your hotel

  • No need to change vehicles in Marmaris

  • Airport pickup arranged around your flight

  • Vehicle options to suit your group and luggage

  • Suitable arrangements for families and larger groups

  • Transfers for early-morning and late-night arrivals

  • The option to organise your return journey in advance

2. Taking a Taxi from Dalaman Airport to Turunc

A taxi is another way to travel directly from Dalaman Airport to Turunc.

This option may appeal to travellers who have not booked airport transportation in advance and would prefer to continue their journey after leaving the terminal.

However, Turunc is a considerable distance from the airport.

For this reason, it is advisable to check the estimated taxi fare before beginning your journey.

You should also make sure the available vehicle has sufficient space for your passengers and luggage.

Taxi or Private Airport Transfer?

Both taxis and private transfers can provide direct transportation to Turunc.

The main difference is how the journey is arranged.

Private transfer: Your vehicle, pickup arrangements and journey details are organised in advance.

Taxi: Your journey depends on vehicle availability at the airport and the applicable fare.

If you are travelling with four or more people, comparing the total cost and vehicle capacity of both options can be useful.


3. Is There a Direct Bus from Dalaman Airport to Turunc?

Travellers should not assume that there is a regular direct airport bus from Dalaman Airport to Turunc.

If you prefer public transport, you will generally need to investigate services travelling towards Marmaris first.

After arriving in Marmaris, local transport connections towards Icmeler or Turunc may be available.

However, routes, departure times and operating periods can change according to the season.

What Should You Consider When Using Public Transport?

Connections: You may need to change vehicles rather than travelling directly from the airport to your hotel.

Luggage: Changing transport with large suitcases can be inconvenient.

Last departures: Evening and late-night flights may not connect with local transport services.

Hotel location: If your accommodation is outside central Turunc, you may need an additional taxi.

Total cost: Compare the combined cost of each stage rather than just the first ticket.

Who Might Prefer Public Transport?

Public transport may be suitable for solo travellers with limited luggage and flexible arrival times.

However, if you are travelling with children or arriving late at night, it is worth considering whether several connections will be practical.

Always check the latest schedules before travelling.


4. Hiring a Car at Dalaman Airport

Car hire can be a useful option if you want to explore Turunc, Marmaris and the surrounding coastline independently during your holiday.

With a hire car, you can travel to your accommodation at your own pace and visit nearby bays and attractions throughout your stay.

However, parts of the road to Turunc are winding and mountainous.

Travellers who are unfamiliar with the route should take extra care, particularly when driving after dark.

If you only require transportation between Dalaman Airport and your hotel, compare the total cost of hiring a car with a private transfer.

Remember to include fuel, rental charges and vehicle collection or return arrangements.

Why Your Hotel's Exact Location in Turunc Matters

One of the most important details when booking a Turunc airport transfer is the exact location of your hotel.

Not every property advertised as being in the Turunc area is situated in the village centre.

For example:

Turunc Town Centre

Accommodation in central Turunc may be located close to the beach, restaurants and village facilities.

Amos Area

The Amos area includes accommodation and attractions outside the main village centre.

Towards Kumlubuk

Properties towards Kumlubuk may require an additional journey beyond central Turunc.

These different locations should not automatically be treated as the same destination.

What Information Should You Provide When Booking?

If possible, share your hotel's full name and map location.

If you are staying in a villa or private accommodation, provide the full address and details of the accessible entrance.

Some properties may be reached by narrow or sloping roads.

The correct destination address is essential for planning the right vehicle and route.

This is particularly important for larger groups or passengers travelling with bulky luggage.


How to Get from Dalaman Airport to Turunc at Night

If your flight arrives at Dalaman Airport late in the evening or after midnight, planning your onward journey becomes even more important.

Public transport connections that are available during the daytime may not operate at times suitable for your flight.

After a long journey, you may also prefer not to change vehicles in Marmaris before continuing to Turunc.

A pre-booked private airport transfer can therefore be worth considering for late arrivals.

Tips for Late-Night Airport Transfers

Provide your flight number when booking.

Remember that your aircraft's landing time is not the same as the time you will leave the airport after passport control and luggage collection.

If you require a child seat or additional luggage space, request this in advance.

It is also advisable to check your hotel's late check-in arrangements.

Mavi Transfer organises airport transportation throughout the day and night, including transfers for late-night and early-morning flights.

Marmaris, Icmeler and Turunc: What Is the Difference?

A common mistake when arranging a Dalaman Airport transfer is assuming that all holiday destinations in the Marmaris area are the same distance away.

In reality, Marmaris town centre, Icmeler and Turunc are separate destinations.

Marmaris Town Centre

Central Marmaris is one of the main arrival points for visitors travelling to the region.

Icmeler

Icmeler is a separate holiday resort beyond central Marmaris, with its own hotels, beach and accommodation areas.

Turunc

Reaching Turunc normally involves continuing beyond Icmeler along a winding coastal and mountain road.

This means a transfer quotation or journey time for Marmaris town centre may not apply to Turunc.

Dalaman Airport to Turunc Transfer Prices 2027

How much does a transfer from Dalaman Airport to Turunc cost in 2027?

The price depends on the type of transport you choose.

For private transfers, factors affecting the price may include:

  • Vehicle type

  • Number of passengers

  • Exact destination address

  • Travel date

  • Special requirements

Taxi fares depend on the applicable tariff and journey conditions.

For public transport, the total cost may include several tickets and a final taxi journey.

Because future prices can change, quoting an unconfirmed 2027 fare as a current price would be misleading.

The most reliable comparison is to request up-to-date prices for the same date, passenger group and destination address.

You can check private vehicle and booking options through Mavi Transfer.


How to Plan Your Return Transfer from Turunc to Dalaman Airport

Your return journey is just as important as your arrival transfer.

When travelling from Turunc to Dalaman Airport, you should calculate your departure time based on your flight's scheduled take-off time.

For international flights, allow sufficient time for check-in, baggage drop, security and passport control.

If your flight departs around midday, for example, you may need to leave Turunc several hours earlier.

The exact pickup time should take account of:

  • Whether your flight is domestic or international

  • Your airline's recommended airport arrival time

  • Road conditions and seasonal traffic

  • The journey from your accommodation to the main route

Why Should You Book Your Return Transfer in Advance?

Unlike central Marmaris, Turunc involves an additional stretch of road.

Summer traffic and road conditions can increase the journey time.

Organising your return transfer before the final day of your holiday gives you more time to plan your airport arrival.


Five Essential Tips for First-Time Visitors to Turunc

1. Do Not Confuse Marmaris with Turunc

Check that your accommodation is actually in Turunc and select the correct destination when making your transfer reservation.

2. Share Your Hotel's Map Location

An accurate location is particularly helpful for properties around Amos and Kumlubuk.

3. Provide Your Flight Number

This helps your transfer provider organise your arrival if your flight schedule changes.

4. Confirm Your Luggage Requirements

The number of suitcases, pushchairs and any sports equipment may affect the most suitable vehicle.

5. Plan Your Return Journey Early

Remember that travelling from Turunc to Dalaman Airport generally takes longer than travelling from central Marmaris.


Things to Do in Turunc After You Arrive

Turunc is known for its coastal setting and relaxed holiday atmosphere.

Visitors staying in the area can enjoy the beach or explore nearby attractions, depending on their interests and transport arrangements.

Turunc Beach

Located in the heart of the resort, Turunc Beach is one of the main places to enjoy the sea and spend time along the waterfront.

Amos Ancient City

Icmeler

Icmeler is another popular holiday destination in the Marmaris region, with a beach, accommodation facilities and a lively waterfront area.

If you are planning excursions outside Turunc, remember to arrange your return transport and check the road conditions.


Conclusion: What Is the Best Way to Get from Dalaman Airport to Turunc?

There is no single transport option that will suit every traveller.

Visitors with limited luggage and flexible schedules may consider public transport connections.

Those planning to explore different bays and villages throughout their holiday might prefer a hire car.

Travellers who want to reach their hotel directly can consider a taxi or pre-booked private airport transfer.

The most important part of planning your journey to Turunc is understanding that it lies beyond Marmaris and Icmeler, and that your hotel's exact location can affect the route and travel time.
