Question
What's the recommended airport?
Answer
The nearest airport to our wedding destination is Bodrum-Milas Airport which is about 50 km (32 miles) from Yalikavak. This airport is primarily for domestic flights in Turkey, so anyone flying internationally will likely need to stop in Istanbul.

The hotels we recommended also offer support in booking transportation to and from Bodrum-Milas.

Question
Do I need a visa for Turkey?
Answer
As of January 2024, U.S. citizens can visit Turkey visa-free for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. For European travelers, visa requirements vary: citizens from most Schengen Area countries can enter Turkey visa-free for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, travelers from non-Schengen European countries should verify specific entry requirements, as some may need to obtain an e-Visa or a visa prior to arrival. Please ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of entry into Turkey.
Question
Should I rent a car?
Answer
While we plan to provide transportation to the key wedding events from the suggested hotels, getting a Taxi can be tricky especially at night. So, if you plan to stay longer and aren't comfortable with public transportation, we'd recommend considering renting a car.
Question
What are some things to know?
Answer
The local currency is the Turkish Lira (TRY). Credit cards are widely accepted, but carry some cash for small shops and markets. We recommend taking out money as close to your travel date as possible and taking out minimal cash, as inflation is high in Turkey. For those traveling from abroad, Turkey uses a Type F Power Adapter. This is different than most other European countries.
