Kumbahçe Transfer from Dalaman Airport: Arrival Guide (2h 14m)

Kumbahçe is the lively eastern bay of Bodrum town — the side of the castle where the seafront promenade meets the famous bar street, with the town beach, restaurants and nightlife all on your doorstep. A private transfer brings you straight here on a fixed price.

Curving east from Bodrum Castle (the Castle of St Peter), Kumbahçe is the heart of Bodrum's social scene. The waterfront promenade is lined with restaurants and cafés, the town beach offers easy swimming right in the centre, and just behind runs the legendary bar street (Dr Alim Bey / Cumhuriyet Caddesi), the engine of Bodrum nightlife. By day it is an easy town beach with a postcard view of the castle and the marina; by night it is one of the most famous party strips on the Aegean. Everything — the bazaar, the marina, the museum of underwater archaeology in the castle — is within a short stroll.

Kumbahçe sits in central Bodrum on the peninsula served by Bodrum–Milas Airport (BJV). For routes and fixed prices, see our Bodrum region transfers guide. A pre-booked private transfer means a fixed price and a driver waiting at arrivals, ready to take you straight to your hotel.

• Town beach — swimming in the heart of Bodrum.

The bay is liveliest after dark in summer; for a quieter swim, head out earlier in the day. A calmer cove sits just along the shore — see our Bardakçı guide — and every peninsula route is in the Bodrum region transfers guide.
