Arriving in Bitez

Bitez has two parts: the beach strip along the bay, where most hotels and the beach clubs sit, and the old village a kilometre inland among the mandarin orchards. Give the driver the hotel name, as the beach road is a loop and the inland lanes are narrow.

Bodrum town, with the castle, marina and bus station, is about 6 km east, a ten-minute dolmus ride, so you can leave the car behind once you are here.

Avoid the common scams

Bodrum airport taxis often quote a flat price for resort runs; ask for the taksimetre or agree the fare before loading the bags.
There is no night tariff in Mugla province; late arrivals pay the same meter rate.
For the cheapest route, take the Havas shuttle to Bodrum bus station and the Bitez minibus from there; allow about an hour and a quarter.

Before you fly

Have data the moment you land

A Turkey eSIM installed before departure connects as soon as the plane doors open, so you can message your driver, open the meter estimate or ring the hotel without hunting for airport Wi-Fi. Airalo's Turkey plans run on the Turk Telekom network, from 3 to 30 days with unlimited-data options; it is data only and needs an unlocked, eSIM-capable phone, so check compatibility before you buy.
