Kadıkalesi Transfer from Dalaman Airport: Arrival Guide (2h 29m)

Kadıkalesi is a relaxed, sandy beach on the west coast of the Bodrum peninsula, near Turgutreis — shallow turquoise water, windsurfing breezes and some of the finest sunsets in Bodrum. A private transfer brings you straight here on a fixed price.

Looking out towards the Greek islands, Kadıkalesi is a wide, sandy beach with shallow, gently shelving water that is ideal for families and perfect for windsurfing when the afternoon breeze picks up. Low-key beach restaurants and small hotels back the shore, and the village keeps an unhurried, local feel away from the busier resorts. It takes its name from the ruins of an old castle and a Byzantine church nearby. Above all, Kadıkalesi is famous for its sunsets — the west-facing bay turns gold and pink as the sun drops behind the islands, a nightly ritual for everyone on the beach.

Kadıkalesi is on the Bodrum peninsula, served by Bodrum–Milas Airport (BJV), with the beach a short drive away near Turgutreis. For routes and fixed prices across the peninsula, see our Bodrum region transfers guide. A pre-booked private transfer means a fixed price and a driver waiting at arrivals.
