The main port of Bodrum is strategically located in the city center, directly beside the historic Bodrum Castle, serving as a key international gateway to the Turkish Riviera. It is a primary hub for international travelers, welcoming daily high-speed ferries from the Greek islands of Kos and Rhodes, as well as many large cruise ships. The port handles all passenger ferry traffic and customs, and is the departure point for the famous 'Blue Cruise' gulet voyages, offering immediate access to the city's vibrant bazaar and marina.

Getting to and from Bodrum Port

By Taxi

The official taxi rank is located at the international ferry terminal. For travelers arriving from the Greek islands, a pre-booked transfer is the most seamless way to continue your journey.

A transfer with Aegean Taxi provides a professional driver and a fixed, pre-agreed price.

This is the ideal choice for a comfortable and direct ride from the port to your hotel in the city or to other resorts on the peninsula like Yalıkavak.

By Dolmuş (Minibus)

The most common and affordable public transport in Bodrum is the dolmuş (shared minibus). The main bus station, the Bodrum Otogar, is located a short distance from the port.

From the Otogar, you can catch frequent dolmuş services to virtually every town, resort, and beach on the entire peninsula.

This is a very efficient and budget-friendly way to explore the region. Fares are paid in cash to the driver.

By Car

Renting a car provides the most freedom for exploring the many beautiful bays, beaches, and villages of the Bodrum peninsula. Many local and international car rental agencies have offices near the port area.

Having your own vehicle allows you to discover hidden gems that are not on the main dolmuş routes.

Booking your car in advance is highly recommended, especially during the busy summer months.

By Boat Trip

Bodrum's harbor is the heart of the famous 'Blue Cruise' and is filled with traditional wooden gulets offering daily boat trips. This is the best way to experience the beauty of the Turkish Riviera from the sea.

These excursions typically visit several stunning bays and islands for swimming and lunch, such as the popular Black Island (Kara Ada) with its mineral springs.

You can book these trips directly from the numerous operators along the waterfront.
