Bodrum has its own international airport (BJV, Milas-Bodrum) with flights from major European cities. A hire car is strongly recommended for exploring the peninsula with a dog. Dolmus routes connect all villages on the peninsula; small dogs in carriers are accepted.

💡 Quick Tips

1.Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) has direct flights from London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Paris in summer. Car hire desks at the airport are the most convenient option for dog owners.
2.The dolmus network on the peninsula is cheap and frequent; small dogs in a soft carrier are routinely accepted. For larger dogs, a private taxi is necessary.
3.Bodrum's marina has ferry connections to the Greek island of Kos (30 min). Dogs can cross on this ferry with valid health documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my dog travel on the Bodrum to Kos ferry?

Yes, in principle, but requires a valid EU health certificate and rabies vaccination. Confirm current Greek and Turkish border requirements before booking; they can change seasonally.

Is it easy to hire a pet-friendly car in Bodrum?

Standard hire cars accept dogs in Turkey without restriction; there is no extra charge for dogs in rental vehicles (unlike some European countries). Bring a boot liner if your dog sheds.
