We have just returned from Fethiye after a 2 week break and one of the best things about the holiday was getting there and back!!!
Before Xmas when we mentioned the area we got the comment
" its a lovely place to visit but OH DALAMAN AIRPORT AND THE TRANSFER ROAD FROM HELL!!"
QUEUES OUT THE DOOR AND NO DECENT SHOPS OR PLACES TO GO!

The new airport terminal is an absolute dream compared to the old and all of us UK visitors were saying what a difference it makes to a visit!
It was efficient,smart,huge with loads of space so you could have got half of the fethiye population inside.
It has lovely duty free shopping areas and eating sections and the security even at 3am was excellent.
There were numerous indicator boards giving flight information and it looked like 60 check in gates.

Similarly the transfer was so quick now the Gocek Tunnel is open and considering I am not a good traveller the road is now a doddle compared to the old route. Our taxi did it in 45 minutes and whilst fast,it felt a very safe road.
We were very impressed and hope it will encourage others to visit as the comments from our fellow travellers both arriving and departing were very encouraging!
