    How to Get to Gumbet?

    Gumbet is situated on the south-east coast of the Bodrum peninsula, about 4,7 km. from central Bodrum, and 39 km. from Bodrum Milas Airport (BJV).

    Getting to Gumbet from Bodrum Milas Airport

    The HAVAS Airport Shuttle operates between the airport and Bodrum city center. Following the route Guvercinlik, Torba road and Bodrum Intercity Bus Terminal in central Bodrum in order, it takes about 45 minutes.

    And you should take a taxi or dolmus (minibus) to get to Gumbet from the Bodrum city center. Dolmus (minibus) takes about 15 minutes to reach Gumbet.

    Taxi fare from Bodrum Airport to Gumbet is about 440 TL.

    Private Shuttle

    This is by far the best, the most preferred, convenient, safe and fastest option to get to Gumbet from Bodrum Airport. Especially if you are a group or a family with kids or have lots of luggage with you, than we highly recommend private shuttle transfer. They offer a fixed rate, comfortable and safe transfer to your hotel in Gumbet.

    The HAVAS airport shuttle will bring you to at the Intercity Bus Terminal of Bodrum, and you’ll need to take a taxi or minibus from there again, which will be harder for you to travel with your family or luggage. But a private shuttle transfer will drive you just to the entrance of your hotel.

    The driver also meets you inside the airport terminal with your name written on a plate. And he accompanies you for the transfer and also he helps you with your luggage like where to take them and even carry them to the shuttle. And as there is a fixed price, you will not have to worry or deal with price calculations.

    We highly recommend Tranigo (a Turkish company operating since 1996, and partnered with renowned names like Hertz, Thrifty, Budget, and many reliable and efficient local suppliers) as we recently booked with them had a great trip to our hotel.

    It offers low-priced, fixed rate private shuttles that include meet-and-greet airport pickups and luggage assistance. Their large selection of comfortable taxis, minivans, luxurious cars and 6-19+ passenger minibuses can match any need while ensuring quick and safe travels to and from Bodrum airport (BJV).
