Getting around

"Walking is best for exploring Ören’s compact center. Dolmuş (shared minibuses) connect to nearby towns like Milas and Bodrum for ~$1-2. Taxis are available but negotiate fares. Renting a car or scooter gives flexibility to explore secluded beaches and ruins. Buses from major cities stop at Milas, then a local dolmuş to Ören."
