if you have booked with a well known tour operator it will be approx 2 hours, depending on how many stops they carry out in marmaris, and theres the stop half way, were you can use the loo, have a smoke, and a nice cold EFES. but if you have booked you transfer with ICR you will be in icmeler in 1 hours 20 mins, they dont stop unless you request too.
Book the ICR transfer, no stops (unless you ask to) and it drops you straight at your apartment/hotel with no messing about dropping the marmaris folk off.
We paid £90 return for the 4 of us in June - takes about 1.5 hours well worth the money IMO.
I have been stuck on a transfer bus for 3 1/2 hours before and more than once too, hence the reason we get a private transfer now! More time to spend in Icmeler!

Go for the ICR transfers everytime - just over the hour. The first time we went to Icmeler was in 2002, on a package tour and the coach trip took nearly 4 hours!!!! and I had an upset stomach, so you can imagine how I was feeling never again.
we also book the ICR transfers, as the other tour opertaors can take take approx 3 hours....i just let the tour operator know when we land that we dont want there coach.....its worth it, to get there quicker
Have booked ICR for our transfer to the resort as well, at minute taking the tour operators coach back, not to fussed on getting to the airport quickly

Robbo, I found we got to the airport later on our return with ICR because they dont pick you up as early as a TO does, so its much better than all those hours on the TO bus going to hotels in Icmeler and Marmaris.
I sat at my apartments with a few cold efes thinking about all the people on the bus for the last hour or so.
After going to icmeler for the last few years this year is our first time to book icr transfers. Cant understand why i have never done it before expecially as we know we are heading for paradise. I can remember our first visit to icmeler and the halfway stop we landed at 2pm and got into resort at 8.30pm . Cannot wait for this years hols now i will be gaining a few extra hours in icmeler only wished i had heard of icr before

Reesy1959, we have the option of booking return in Icmeler if we wanted, just wanted to see what time difference there was in the travelling. Last year with tour operator we did'nt get to our apartments till 17.30 or later and that was us arriving at Dalaman at 13.35,have found ICR to be very helpful and they even rang up the other day to confirm flight times, so far well pleased with them
I know ive left it a bit late Ive got the worlds worst memory and I just keep forgetting If they cant I will just have to get a quote from a taxi or ask the owner of the hotel as i think he does transfers but Id rather book with ICR they are probably a bit more reliable.
