Dalaman Airport to Kekova / Üçağız Transfer

Your Dalaman Airport to Kekova transfer takes the long way round the coast: east out of Dalaman towards Fethiye, then south along the D400 through Kalkan and into Kaş. The stretch between Kalkan and Kaş is one of the most photographed on this coast, with the road cut into cliffs high above the sea. From Kaş the road continues a little further before a signed turn-off drops away from the highway and winds down through pine forest to sea level at Üçağız. It's a longer drive than the routes that stop in Kalkan or Kaş, but it means you see most of this coastline in one trip rather than doubling back another day.

Üçağız is a small fishing harbour lined with a handful of waterside restaurants, and it's the departure point for boats out to the Kekova sunken city and the hilltop castle at Kaleköy (ancient Simena). Kaleköy itself has no cars or motorbikes — everything moves by boat or on foot — and its Lycian rock tombs run right down into the shallows, one sarcophagus standing half-submerged at the water's edge. A section of the Lycian Way, the long-distance coastal path, also leaves Üçağız, so Kaleköy is a short walk away for anyone who would rather go on foot than by boat.

Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, tracks your flight so a late landing changes nothing, and helps with your bags for the drive down. Because the transfer passes through both Kalkan and Kaş, you're welcome to ask for a short stop in either — a coffee, a photo, a quick errand — before continuing to Üçağız. Accommodation around Kekova tends to be small guesthouses and villas without formal street numbers, so send an exact address or a map pin when you book; it's the difference between arriving directly and circling a quiet village after dark.
