About Milas–Bodrum Airport

Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV) is the airport for Bodrum and the Bodrum Peninsula on Turkey's Aegean coast, in the province of Muğla. It stands near Milas, about 36 km (22 miles) northeast of Bodrum town and 16 km (10 miles) south of Milas, and handled about 4.36 million passengers in 2025.

Domestic flights link Bodrum with Istanbul and Ankara all year, flown by Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and AJet. In summer, international traffic grows with seasonal and charter flights from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Poland and the Gulf, including Jet2.com, easyJet, SunExpress, Corendon and British Airways.

The airport has two terminal buildings: an International Terminal and a Domestic Terminal, a short walk apart. TAV Airports runs both under a concession.

From the airport, most travelers head along the D330 highway to Bodrum town and its marina, then on to the resort areas of Gümbet, Bitez, Turgutreis, Yalıkavak, Gündoğan, Türkbükü and Torba. The drive to Bodrum town usually takes 35 to 45 minutes, and longer to the far side of the peninsula.

Arrival tips for Milas–Bodrum Airport

If you arrive on an international flight, you land at the International Terminal and go through passport control first. Most US, UK, Canadian and Australian travelers can visit Turkey visa-free for short stays; other nationalities may need an e-Visa before they fly. Flights from elsewhere in Turkey arrive at the Domestic Terminal, with no passport check.

After passport control, collect your luggage at baggage claim and walk through customs into the arrivals hall. In peak summer weeks, several charter flights often land close together, so passport control and baggage claim can be slow; keep your hotel or villa address and your transfer confirmation handy.

Outside the arrivals hall you find the taxi stand, the Havaş and Muttaş shuttle buses to Bodrum and the car rental desks. Pre-booked drivers usually wait at the arrivals exit of your terminal with a name sign.

Turkey uses the Turkish lira and is on Turkey Time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving time.

Ground transportation

The shuttle buses are the budget option to Bodrum town; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier with luggage or for the resort areas around the peninsula.

  • Havaş shuttle to Bodrum

    Havaş buses leave from outside the terminals, timed to flight arrivals, and run to Bodrum's bus station with stops at Güvercinlik and Torba, in about 45 minutes. You change to a local minibus or taxi for most resort areas.

  • Muttaş shuttle bus

    The Muğla municipal company Muttaş runs white shuttle buses on a similar route to Bodrum via Güvercinlik and Torba. Pay on board; there are no seat reservations.

  • Taxi from Bodrum airport

    Taxis wait outside both terminals around the clock and go door to door anywhere on the peninsula. Fares are metered and add up on the longer runs to Turgutreis or Yalıkavak.

  • Car rental

    Avis, Hertz, Sixt and other companies have desks in the arrivals halls. A car suits villa stays, but summer traffic and parking in Bodrum town can be slow.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car or van meets you at the arrivals exit and drives straight to your hotel or villa, useful for families, groups and late arrivals.
