Kayhanbey Hotel to Dalaman Airport: Private Transfer Guide

Kayhanbey Hotel (Kusadasi centre) to Dalaman Airport is a 290 km drive. Allow about 210 minutes; the notes below cover pickup, timing, vehicle and payment for this route.

On the day itself

The motorway leg is fast and smooth; the slow part, if any, is the coast road out of Kusadasi centre in season. Phones charge in the car; bring your cable and the drive doubles as catch-up time.

If anyone sleeps poorly before early starts, a neck pillow helps; the back row reclines a little. Bring water and a snack for the road; service stations dot the motorway and the driver stops wherever suits you.

The route from Kusadasi centre

Your driver knows the Dalaman Airport run well. The driver watches the traffic and chooses the quickest sensible line.

The trip breaks into two parts: the short local leg on the city ring road onto the Kusadasi-Selcuk highway, and the highway run to Dalaman Airport. The local part is only the city ring road onto the Kusadasi-Selcuk highway out of Kusadasi centre; after that the driver keeps a steady line to Dalaman Airport.

The pickup, step by step

A day before the ride you get the driver's name and plate on WhatsApp. Bags go straight into the boot and you are off.

The driver arrives at the Kayhanbey Hotel entrance five to ten minutes before the agreed time and helps with bags. There is no walking to a meeting point and no other passengers to wait for.

At Dalaman Airport

Booking the return as well? We reconfirm the terminal and the pickup time the day before, since the run is a long one.

A few words on Dalaman Airport

Dalaman Airport (DLM) is the far option, 290 km east across Aydin and Mugla provinces. The newer international building stands beside the domestic terminal; food and duty-free exist in both, landside and airside.

Dalaman airport sits inland near the D400. The distance is long and the road is quick.

Vehicle and luggage

For this route we send a Mercedes Vito: seven seats and room for real luggage. Golf bags, buggies and wheelchairs travel free when noted on the booking. Families get free infant, child or booster seats; write the ages on the booking form.

Seven seats, a sliding door and a proper boot: the Vito covers this route daily. Luggage allowance is generous: six to seven big cases plus hand luggage. Group of eight or more? A second Vito runs at the same per-vehicle fare when arranged in advance.

Paying for the transfer

For guests leaving Kayhanbey Hotel, the fare is fixed in EUR at booking. You can pay the driver cash on the day or settle online by card. No deposit is taken, and cancelling is free until a day before.

Questions we hear a lot

Is the price per person or per car?

Per car: one fare covers the Vito and up to seven passengers with luggage on the Dalaman Airport run.

Can we book the return pickup too?

Yes. Arrival pickups include flight tracking: the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, and the first 60 minutes of waiting after landing are free. The car then brings you back to Kayhanbey Hotel.

Is this a shared shuttle?

No. The car is reserved for your party alone, so there are no other pickups and no detours on the way to Dalaman Airport.
