Dalaman Airport
Compare a current shuttle connection, private transfer or official taxi by flight. Send the exact hotel address and obtain total, waiting, luggage and child-seat terms in writing. Account for missing the final Ortaca–Dalyan link at night.
Ortaca Connection
Dalyan is administratively in Ortaca district. Check current route, stop, payment and final service officially or locally. Treat the Ortaca market as a separate district plan.
Iztuzu
Current road or boat connections may operate. Ask which beach end, final return and services are included. Obtain coordination guarantees when combining outbound boat and road return.
Kaunos
A boat/pier and walk or current road access may be possible. Assume admission is separate and check official ticket-office time. Do not leave the return until sunset.
Walking Centrally
The river, center, restaurants and docks are walkable for many. Heat, broken pavements and luggage affect timing. Use lit main roads at night.
Night and Backup Plan
After missing a connection, use an official taxi rank, hotel-arranged car or verified transfer. Keep phone power, offline map and hotel address. Share the plate and never enter an unverified vehicle.
Luggage and Accessibility
Heat, broken pavements, boat steps and luggage can complicate travel. Ask carriers and properties about current wheelchair or stroller suitability. A central label does not guarantee barrier-free access.
