Milas - Bus transfer between the airport and the city of Bodrum
Most tourists are brought by their tour organizers or their booked hotel agency from and back to the airport, this is because the connection of the Bodrum airport is not very well organized with public transport still today. Havas is a small agency offering these travels with small coaches as well. However, there is no regular timetable. The coaches start business after arrival of a domestic flight of Turkish Airlines, Fly Air, Atlas Jet and Anadolu jet from the airport to Bodrum. To go from the town to the airport by coach will take 2 hours approximately. The distance from the airport to Güvercinlik, Torba Road, where the coach park (In Turkish: Otogar) is placed will take about an hour.
However, in front of the terminals taxis are always waiting for new customers, but for sure this will be more expensive then the coach.
The airport has passenger facilities with a capacity of 5,000,000 passengers per year and a 3,000-meter-long paved runway equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). The apron measures 800 x 200 meters and can accommodate 28 commercial aircraft. A 3,000-meter-long taxiway runs parallel to the single runway, increasing its efficiency.
