transport from Selcuk to Bodrum
 
hey there,

was wondering if someone could help me figure out the BEST way to travel from Selcuk to Bodrum.
I WOULD rent a car, except that i can't drive manual transmission. Are my only other options bus or private driver/tour? think flight from izmir to bodrum might cost more (time and money) than it's worth...
i think i'm leaning more towards a private driver/tour. does anyone know how i could arrange something like that?
please help...

Hi abid4travel,

You can find some BUS from Selcuk to Bodrum every hour. BUT if you are looking for private transfer let me know I can help you with my car.
You can not find a flight from Izmir to Bodrum,Yes there are some flight BUT they fly via Istanbul which is 3 hours flight. (Selcuk to Bodrum takes 3 hour by car)

Have a nice trip in Turkey

Thanks for the info!

So is the bus direct from Selcuk to Bodrum, or do i need to change buses in some other city? For some reason, i thought there were no direct buses, so i'd have to change buses in Soke.

Are the buses accustomed to having passengers carrying mid-size luggage on board?

Thanks for the private transfer offer, but the bus sounds more reasonable i suppose. How much is the going-rate these days for something like that anyways?
