It is the shortest resort transfer on this part of the coast, which makes Sarıgerme a favourite with families who want the children in the pool soon after landing.
From the runway to the beach
Sarıgerme lies south-west of the airport, near the mouth of the Dalaman river, in the Ortaca district. The drive crosses flat farmland and passes through the small village of Sarıgerme before reaching the resort area behind the beach.
There are no mountain roads or tunnels on this route, so the timing depends mainly on how quickly you get through passport control and baggage reclaim. If you land in the early hours, you can still be at your resort well before many other arriving guests have left the airport by coach.
A resort area built around one long beach
Sarıgerme has a long sandy beach backed by pine forest, with Baba Island just offshore. Most accommodation is in large all-inclusive hotels and club resorts with their own grounds, spread out along the beach, plus a few smaller hotels in the village.
Because the resorts are big and set apart from one another, the exact hotel name matters. Drivers go to the main entrance or reception of your resort.
Practical notes for families and golfers
- Child seats
- Request baby or child seats when booking and give the children's ages. The short drive is easy for young children, even after a long flight.
- Golf bags
- One resort in Sarıgerme has its own golf course. Declare golf bags when booking so they fit with the suitcases.
- Dalyan and turtle beach
- Many guests take day trips to Dalyan and İztuzu beach, about half an hour away. Those are booked separately from your airport transfer.
