Main Airports in Bodrum

Milas-Bodrum Airport is located around 22 miles northeast of Bodrum, and 10 miles south of the town of Milas.

With a new terminal completed in 2000, it is a modern airport with flights to and from all over Europe, especially in the busy summer season. The airport handles around 3.2 million people a year, well under its capacity, so it feels comfortable and easy to use. Food and drink costs in the airport are also very high so it’s a good idea to bring your own refreshments.

How to Get Around in Bodrum

If you’re just making the journey from your hotel to the beach and back, then walking is the easiest and most convenient option.

There are also plenty of private cabs but these can cost significantly more – and you should agree a fare before heading off.

You’ll also find lots of windmills along the coast, many of which were in use grinding flour until the mid 1970s.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Bodrum?

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Bodrum in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bodrum?

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bodrum in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
