boatboy2000 Posted September 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2014 No, it used to be 2 hours years ago, but now they have cut through the mountains and improved the road, we were there in July and it took just over an hour in good traffic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ormy Posted September 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Certainly took us at least 90min in July. Our journey from Manchester just seemed to last forever. Over twelve hours in total - and that was without any delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted September 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2014 90 mins in April on a Thomas Cook resort holiday - stopped for a comfort break for 20 mins or so about halfway through at a roadside cafe and souvenir shop setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatboy2000 Posted September 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) No, it used to be 2 hours years ago, but now they have cut through the mountains and improved the road, we were there in July and it took just over an hour in good traffic. :) Our flight was delayed from Manchester by 3 hours due to lack of crew, we were not happy,got through Dalaman please note we have been here many times in the past and it used to be an awful journey, I looked at my watch as the the coach pulled away, it did not stop anywhere on the way to Marmaris and we arrived at the ship approx 65 minutes later. Going back to Dalaman probably a little longer but nothing like it was years ago. Hope this helps, have a great time.

middy Posted September 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Took us 2 hours Dalaman to Marmaris couple of weeks ago, a little quicker going back. Done a lot of fly cruises in my time and it was the longest transfer from an airport I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks boatboy - I'm feeling optimistic that it will be 65 to 90 minutes - but hey who cares as long as we catch the ship :b can't wait now!

All-afloaty :) Hi, I remember the time because we were at Manchester for 5am and the flight 30mins before ours went out on time and then then we were told due to some crewing problem we would be delayed 3 hours, we were really annoyed, they knew this the previous day, we have been to Marmaris many times and the coach drivers stop at some cafe for a backhander, I was prepared to say something if he had stopped, as it had been a long day and all we wanted was to get onboard, do the life jacket drill and get into the restaurant, give the driver his due he put his foot down and never stopped. Hope you a have great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISIN LINDA Posted September 25, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well done Gill & Ray :) Is that the repo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillhalfpint Posted September 25, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well done Gill & Ray :) Is that the repo? Yes it starts from Marmaris Oct 13th and finishes in Limassol on Oct 22nd. Price went down £40 from when I checked this morning, so we decided to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
