Best Time to Visit
Milas-Bodrum Airport features two terminals, one for domestic flights and the other for international flights. The terminal for local trips is actually the airport’s old international terminal, which was opened in 2000. The old terminal was converted to domestic activities since the construction of the larger terminal in 2012. In the same year, the airport's operation was transferred to a private company that now runs the BJV on behalf of the government. Both terminals accommodate more than 2.5 million passengers annually. The tourist population starts peaking in the summer when the airlines start their charter flights to major destinations in Europe. Make sure to explore the nearby towns of Mugla, Ula, and Akyaka if you’re coming in from BJV.
