Transportation in Sarigerme

From the Holiday Village,Palace /SunTropical, and Hilton to the Village by Taxi is 10 TL or £5, in my oppinion you can enjoy the 15-20 minutes walk to the Village .

Every 30 minutes there will be a Dolmush passing by or waiting at the maingate of your Hotel with a sign on the windscreen saying ORTACA.

With this Dolmush you can get all the way to Ortaca for 4,50 Turkish Lira. Or simply ask the Driver to stop at the Village.Simply Say Stop Please

10 Turkish Lira (£5) by Taxi (upto 4 person to/from Village) please be aware that Irresponsible driving is common amongst the taxi drivers, walk the 20 minutes distance to avoid irresponsible driving scenes.

1 Turkish Lira (£0,40) (by Dolmus-Shuttle Bus to Village) 4.50 Turkish Lira (£1,70) (by Dolmus-Shuttle Bus to ORTACA TOWN )

OR , If you are staying at Holiday Village or at Hilton :

Remember :You can shop with foreign currency, however it would be ideal if you would have small change of local currency for the Taxi or Dolmush.

DID YOU KNOW ?

There is a Tractor Shuttle Service for free of charge from the Village Car Park to the Sarigerme Public Beach and back, this part of the beach is the public part which is lively,it takes about 3-4 minutes to get to the beach or from the beach to the Village. Car Park is located at the entrance of the Village sign posted (OTOPARK) It runs every 30 minutes during the day times.(operates during high season)

The Dolmus (dolmush)is typically Turkish and can be found everywhere. These are mainly minibuses travelling relatively short distances. A dolmus usually waits and starts in the bus station (Otogar) until it is full and then leaves.

You can board a dolmus anywhere on its route by signaling it to stop for you. Similarly you can get off at a convenient point anywhere along the route. The destination of the dolmus is posted in the windscreen. In summer the latest hour of departure of the minibuses or dolmus is 8pm. This kind of public transport is cheap and efficient and works very well all over Turkey.

Lets say You wish to D.I.Y Travel around a bit and You wish to go to Dalaman Town or to Koycegiz or to Marmaris maybe a bit further to Istanbul ect.Where ever you wish to go, You need to go to nearest OTOGAR (Otogar / Bus station).

There are two Otogars near to Sarigerme ;ORTACA OTOGAR (p.p from Sarigerme is 4,50 TL - about £1,70) and DALAMAN OTOGAR

Where ever you want to go, you need to go to ORTACA Bus Station first.

For example :If you wish to go to Dalaman from Sarigerme, You need to go to Ortaca Otogar first, then from there you can take Dolmush to Dalaman Otogar.

All you need to do is, go to the Village of Sarigerme , get a Shuttle Bus DOLMUS as we call them in Turkey. They run frequently, if you wish to know when the next one is just ask a local Person.

You don't need to speak Turkish for that. Just point to your watch or to your wrist if you dont have a watch on you and say Dolmus ?

If you do stay in the Holiday Village, you can catch a shuttle bus from the Main Gate

The Dolmushes are placed usually at the main entrance of the Village ,you can not miss it.

But ,if you stay at the Palace or Tropical Hotels , every 30 minutes Dolmushes are available at the front of the Hotel.
