Sultaniye Hot Springs Transfer from Bodrum Milas Airport: Arrival Guide (1h 40m)

On the wooded southern shore of Lake Köyceğiz, near Dalyan, the Sultaniye Hot Springs have drawn bathers since antiquity — warm, mineral-rich thermal water and a famous mud bath in a tranquil lakeside setting. A private transfer brings you here from Dalaman Airport at a fixed price.

Fed by springs that rise at around 40°C, Sultaniye is one of the most atmospheric thermal baths on the Turkish coast. You soak in steaming, sulphur-and-mineral-rich pools said to soothe skin and aching joints, then coat yourself in the warm, silky mud bath before rinsing off in the lake — a ritual visitors have enjoyed for thousands of years. Set among reeds and woodland on the shore of serene Lake Köyceğiz, it is most magical when reached by boat across the lake from Dalyan, gliding past the river delta and the Kaunos rock tombs on the way.

Sultaniye is about 32 km from Dalaman Airport (DLM), roughly a 40-minute drive (or a scenic boat trip from Dalyan). A private transfer starts from €45 for a comfortable air-conditioned car, with your driver waiting at arrivals. Book your Dalaman Airport to Sultaniye transfer here. Vans are available for families and groups.

Bring swimwear, a towel and flip-flops, and don't wear anything you mind staining with mud; rinse off in the lake afterwards. Sultaniye pairs perfectly with a Dalyan day — see our full Köyceğiz guide — and every route is in the Dalaman airport transfers guide.
