TL;DR

From Dalaman Airport, use a MUTTAŞ airport shuttle, pre-booked transfer, or taxi to Fethiye; the journey takes about 45–60 minutes. Within Fethiye, dolmuş minibuses are the budget option, while seasonal water taxis connect the marina/centre with Çalış.

What the community said

A pre-booked private transfer from Dalaman Airport takes roughly 45–60 minutes and drops you at your Fethiye hotel. Expect approximately €45–70 per vehicle, making it a practical choice for families or groups with luggage.

To reach Paspatur, Fethiye’s old-town quarter, use a dolmuş to Fethiye Otogar or the central waterfront and walk 5–15 minutes. For Saklıkent or Gizlikent Waterfall, take a Saklıkent-bound minibus from Fethiye bus station; the final stretch to Gizlikent may require a local shuttle or short taxi ride.

Fethiye water taxis are not an airport connection: in summer they usually run between the harbour/centre and Çalış Beach. For a private trip on the bay, arrange a boat through Fethiye Marina; for reaching Fethiye from nearby areas, dolmuş minibuses or road transport are normally more practical.
