Transfers
When you arrive at Bodrum Airport there are 3 ways of getting to the Horizon Sky Beach resort, depending on when your flight arrives and preference.
1. By boat
We feel the most romantic, convenient and the nicest way to arrive at Horizon Sky by using the free taxi boat. As you come out of Bodrum Airport there will be licenced yellow taxi drivers waiting to take you to the town of Gulluk, ask the driver to drop you outside The Broken Barrel Bar. This should take around 15mins and cost 75TL (about £18) If the boat is there to you can leave your luggage on board until it’s due to depart and your holiday starts now ! When you arrive at Horizon Sky , it’s as if you have arrived at a secluded island .......
The boat takes approx 35 minutes , you will disembark at the marina and walk a few yards to where the resort mini-bus or car will pick you up and take you up the hill to the entrance to the resort. If you have lots of baggage ask for help from the crew. At the entrance to the resort you will be asked to check-in at the security building. You will be given a set of keys and taken up to the apartment. There are a small flight of steps to the apartment so again ask for help if you need it with your bags.
2. By Taxi
It’s a 45mins ride from Bodrum Airport, with the licensed yellow taxi drivers waiting to take you to your destination
3. Hiring a car
Or you could hiring a car - I can supply you details of where to hire a car either at the airport or in Gulluk.
There is a mini-mart on-site and Sinan’s shop just outside of the development. He sells every day basics and will deliver to the apartment if you order a significant amount.
If you have a car, the nearest supermarket is located 5-10 minutes drive away. It has a good selection of items.
The biggest supermarkets are in Gulluk. If you take the boat you can stock up and bring your shopping back with you. If the boat is there you can leave your bags while you go off and do other things. If you have a lot of shopping Then one of the drivers will take you to the penthouse There is a restaurant and bar on site which is lovely. Kircin Marina beach bar and café down at the waterfront Marina (near to where you catch the boat) the food is excellent. The ambience is relaxing with outdoor dining, whilst watching the lovely boats. They run a shuttle service from Horizon Sky.
For a wider range of restaurants, bars and pubs then head to Gulluk. For those looking for an extra piece of luxury then there’s always The Med Inn which is a short taxi ride outside of Gulluk…it is well worth the ride. The sun-set from here is breath taking.
