Scheduled coach · Fethiye & Marmaris
Dalaman Airport Bus (HAVAŞ)
The HAVAŞ coach is the cheapest way out of Dalaman Airport. It runs two routes, to Fethiye (56 km, about 1 hour) and Marmaris (97 km, about 1 hour 45 minutes), with departures timed around flight arrivals. It ends at the town bus stations, not hotels, so most visitors need a local taxi or dolmuş for the last leg.
Timetables change with the season. HAVAŞ departures are keyed to the flight schedule and are revised through the year. Confirm on the day by phone: 444 0 487.
How Does the HAVAŞ Coach Work?
HAVAŞ operates the scheduled airport coach in Turkey. At Dalaman there are two routes: Fethiye (56 km, about 1 hour) and Marmaris (97 km, about 1 hour 45 minutes including stops).
Departures are timed around flight arrivals rather than running to a fixed clock-face timetable, so the published times shift through the season. Coaches wait a reasonable period after a flight lands, but they do not hold for delayed flights — if you arrive several hours late, the service may have finished for the day.
Board outside the arrivals hall; the coaches are clearly marked and staff sell tickets at the vehicle or a nearby desk. Payment is normally cash or card in Turkish lira.

Where Does the Coach Not Go?
The coach reaches the bus station, not your accommodation. From Fethiye otogar you will need a local taxi or dolmuş (shared minibus) to Ölüdeniz, Hisarönü, Çalış Beach or your hotel — add 20–40 minutes and the local fare. The same applies in Marmaris.
It also does not serve Dalyan, Sarıgerme, Göcek (except as a through stop), Kalkan or Kaş. For those destinations you need a private transfer, taxi or hire car.
For late arrivals, families with luggage and small children, or anyone whose flight is at risk of delay, the total cost and hassle of coach-plus-taxi often ends up close to a pre-booked private transfer. Compare on the transfers page.
