The town of Dalaman (pop. 20,000) on Turkey's Mediterranean coast between Marmaris and Fethiye (map), exists for farming and for Dalaman International Airport (DLM).

The airport, 5.5 km (3 miles) south of the town center, receives domestic flights from Istanbul daily, and nonstop flights from Europe (charter and scheduled) several times weekly.

It's now got a shiny new International Terminal to make travelers' passage through Dalaman a lot nicer:

International Terminal, Dalaman Airport, Dalaman, Turkey

But be warned: prices for food and drink are quite high: YTL8 for a small tea, YTL10 for coffee, YTL14 for an Efes beer. Yikes! You may want to bring your own provisions.

To fly to Dalaman from a Turkish city other than Istanbul, you will probably have to connect through Istanbul.

From the airport's Domestic Terminal, Havas airport buses run in conjunction with all Turkish Airlines, Onur Air, Fly Air and Atlasjet flights to and from Marmaris and Fethiye, which means there are about four daily buses to and from the airport from each town. (Coming from the International Terminal, turn left and walk 200 meters to the Domestic Terminal to catch the Havas bus.)

Buses leave Marmaris's Turkish Airlines office about 2.5 hours before each flight time, and return from Dalaman Airport after the arrival of each flight. The schedule is similar from Fethiye. More...

You can also take a Dalaman Airport Taxi to Dalaman's Otogar (bus terminal), and from there an intercity bus. This only works if you arrive at Dalaman airport in the morning or early afternoon, though. More...

Otherwise, private services transfer passengers to Dalyan, Fethiye, Kalkan, Kas, Köycegiz, Marmaris, Mugla and other western Mediterranean resorts and towns. Transfer services may cost US$60 to US$150, plus 15% tax, per car (one or two persons) depending upon your destination. More...

There is no train service anywhere near Dalaman (map). The nearest railway station is at Denizli (near Pamukkale).

Take the cost of ground transportation into account if you plan to fly into or out of Dalaman. You may end up deciding to use another airport (such as Bodrum or Antalya), or to rent a car.

If you have hotel reservations in any of these towns, you might ask them for tips on transferring from the airport to the hotel.
