I am investigating options for further travel to Italy after the RS Turkey tour next summer....I'd appreciate any advice. I've looked at both Izmir and Bodrum airports, but would like some first hand knowledge of either of those options such as transfer times and costs and any other concerns I might not have thought of. thanks in advance!

After our 14 day RS Turkey tour in May/June of this year, the tour bus took several of us tour members to the Izmir airport - for free. The bus left the last hotel right after breakfast and we had been told ahead of time not to schedule any flights before 10 AM. We had a 10:30 flight and made it in plenty of time.

What Charlie said. We took the tour in Sept. and many of the tour members took the free bus to Izmir airport for flights to other areas of Europe. We all had layovers in Istanbul.

Jen,
You might have a look at www.whichbudget.com for flight options from either Izmir or Bodrum. I had a brief look at departures from Izmir, and it appears that Germanwings or Pegasus are the two airlines available.
It may not be possible to see schedules and fares for next summer yet, so check the site early in the new year.
Happy travels!
