Bodrum > Bodrum Attractions

Advantages: You are possibly on holiday
Disadvantages: Too expensive to justify

...prepared me for how expensive Bodrum airport really was. I assumed food would be expensive, a lot of airports generally are - I bought five small slices of pizza each with a small portion of chips, I could not believe this came to around £50, I couldn't tell you if they tasted nice as my throat was too dry with the shock!! This is simply daylight robbery to families who have children and no choice but to feed their kids something warm at the airport. ... Read review

Advantages: its small
Disadvantages: its small

I have travelled through Bodrum airport twice and i just have one word of advice for fellow travellers: Bring pleanty of food and drink as we got delayed for four hours and as their are no real shops and one cafe which is about 8 times more expensive than ones in the resorts. i would also advise all travellers to pack lightly on the way home because you have to lift your bag onto a security belt when you go in. its about 3 feet off the ground and ...

Bodrum airport My teenage son was flying to Bodrum to meet up with his brother and because I was flying to Bodrum myself later in the week, I took more than the usual interest in the airport and more especially the website. WHERE IS IT? The Airport is actually called milas- Bodrum airport but is commonly referred to as Bodrum airport. It is situated on a peninsula on the south west coast of Turkey and juts out into the Aegean sea. The airport ...
...that's why it's called milas Bodrum because it's between the two towns. FACILITIES If I go onto the website, I am told that the airport has a new international terminal which was finished in 2000, whilst the old terminal is now used for domestic flights. Having seen this "spacious" new terminal, I am impressed because i saw it pre 2000 and it really has improved The airport boasts a number of facilities including: cafe, shops, car rental, parking, ...

Advantages: gets you into Tukey for Holiday
Disadvantages: poorly set up and managed.

Having passed through Bodrum airport 6 times in the last 2.5 years I have to write only 1 story for all my experiences. Arriving at 3am you are expected to politely que to pay your entry fee €10 for me and £10 for U.K. $45 if your canadian? (not exactly fair!) and my 4 month old daughter €10 (disgraceful in my view) two persons with not a sign of a smile or a hello gladly collect your money, and place a visa in your passport.( average que time 30mins ...
...another friendly face, if your lucky you might get through in15mins maybe 30. Dont mind the 3 other officers( watching you walk past) as 2 maybe 3 only do the work. Then your baggage first you need a trolley but the dispensers dont work so a tolley person will look for a couple of € , £'s or 4tlr from you for a trolley which they will provide for you( stick up to them 2 tlr is all I ever give them they dont complain and look for the receipt from ...

Advantages: Is there any?
Disadvantages: Just about everything

I have been to Bodrum twice in the past three months and both times I dreaded coming home because of the airport. I am not afraid of flying, nor airports but Bodrum airport has got to be the worst I have ever been to. On arrival there, there was a huge line for visa's. You need a visitors visa to enter Turkey and each one costs £10 which has to be paid in British sterling. The visa's last for 3 months. As far as i know, if there are two of you, ...
...After a week in Bodrum it was time to face the airport again. You have to pass through security to get into the airport, and in my experiences there has always been huge lines to wait in. After this, you line up to check in. There are about 12 check-in desks. In this area there are also a couple of seats, toilets and a shop. I am not joking you, this airport is short on facilities. The shop before you check-in is the best to buy things from if you ... Read review
