Hours Ashore

Bodrum Cruise Port (Kumbahçe)

A finger pier with four berths; the port lists a maximum ship length of 350 m.

Getting into town

Walk west along the seafront to the bazaar and castle, about 20 minutes (roughly 1.5 km). The port says the Zeki Müren museum is about 5 minutes' walk and the bazaar about 10. Taxis wait at the terminal and most sights in town are 5–15 minutes away by taxi. There is no port shuttle, though some cruise lines arrange one; dolmuş minibuses run from the town bus station.

Step-free

The port says the terminal is wheelchair-friendly, with lifts, accessible toilets and wheelchairs on request; the waterfront walk is level, but the castle is not step-free.
