Renting a car
We recommend that guests rent a car from the airport in order to best take advantage of their stay. There are several local and international car rental agencies that operate from the Bodrum/Milas airport, that in 2022 are renting economy-size cars for $20-30/day (plus taxes). If you choose not to rent a car, you can still have a very nice time enjoying the pool and sea in the community and taking advantage of the shops and nightlife in Gulluk.
