How to Get from The Residence at TUI Blue Sensatori Fethiye to Fethiye Town Centre

The TUI Blue Sensatori Fethiye resort is divided into two areas: the main hotel for families, and The Residence, an exclusive adults-only section. Whether you are staying at The Residence at TUI Blue Sensatori or the family side, travelling into Fethiye town is simple, cheap, and avoids the high costs of hotel shuttles or taxis. This guide explains exactly how to use local buses (dolmuş) for a fraction of the price.

Why Choose the Bus?

• Save money: Buses cost around 59 to 70 TL per person (approx. £1–£1.30).
• Avoid TUI charges: TUI shuttles charge £25–£30 per person.
• Cheaper than taxis: Taxis to Fethiye cost £25+ one way.
• Contactless payment accepted on the bus – no need for cash!
• We recommend using a Revolut card for the best exchange rates.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fethiye Town Centre

1. Exit The Residence at TUI Blue Sensatori Fethiye and turn right.
2. Walk to the nearby bus stop (Dolmuş stop) – it’s a bus shelter between The Residence and Liberty Hotel (may not have a “D” sign).
3. Stay on the same side of the road as the hotel (no crossing).
4. Wait for a small white minibus (dolmuş) with a sign saying “FETHIYE CENTRUM”.

5. Wave clearly to signal the driver to stop.
6. Board the bus. You can either pay by contactless card or cash (Turkish Lira).
7. Journey takes around 25–30 minutes depending on traffic.
8. Get off in Fethiye town centre.

Step-by-Step Guide to Return to the Hotel

1. From Fethiye town, find a dolmuş (small bus) with signs for “TUANA”, “BOTANIK”, “AKRA HOTELS”, or “TUI Sensatori”.

2. Again, wave to stop the bus.
3. Pay by contactless or cash (~59 TL).
4. Tell the driver you want The Residence at TUI Blue Sensatori.
5. Get off on the opposite side of the road to the hotel when returning.
6. Journey time back is about 25–30 minutes.

Important Tips

• Contactless cards work great and save ATM withdrawal fees.
• Cash is accepted but tends to be slightly more expensive because drivers may add a small “holidaymaker markup.” Contactless avoids this.
• Buses run approximately every 5–10 minutes.
• Always wave clearly to get picked up.
• Bring a photo of your hotel if you’re worried about communication.
