The port area, which is mainly used by yachts and gulets, is situated directly in the city center. Large cruise ships usually anchor in the bay, while smaller ships can dock directly at the quay.

Numerous international airlines, especially from Europe, offer direct flights to Dalaman during the summer season, allowing for a comfortable journey. The travel time from the airport to the port takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the means of transport. For a relaxed start to your cruise, it is recommended to arrive at least one day before embarkation due to international flight connections.

Check-in & Embarkation
