    Ankara otogar is called ASTI or Terminal and it is huge. As you arrive you should ask for a service to the area you want to go to as many companies have free transport from ASTI. One of the boys working on the bus I arrived with walked with me to show me the right place for the service, as it was not next to where the bus arrived. The service then took me all the way to my hotel in Ulus. Leaving Ankara I arrived to ASTI without having a ticket in advance. It can be a difficult choise where to turn as there are more then 100 ticket counters. As I was going to Bogazkale I did what my guidebook suggested. To be sure not to be dropped on the highwy outside Sungurlu I went to ticketcounter 37 and bought a ticket with Hattusas buscompany. To go to ASTI I took a dolmush from Ulus. It was not leaving from Ulus Meydani but from a small street somewhere close.

  • Snowy day at Esenboga Airport - Ankara
    Snowy day at Esenboga Airport
    by Profsmiley
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Esenboga Airport is small and quite disappointing for a capital city of a country as big as Türkiye. There is a new airport construction site next to the present one, however as of January 2005, this is still in its beginning stages... Most international flights are via Istanbul. There are internal flights that are operated by Turkish Airlines and some other charter companies. There are some direct international flights by Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa to/from Germany, also by Cyprus Turkish Airlines to/from North Cyprus, and sometimes to/from UK. The airport is 27 km (app. 16 miles) from the city centre. You can easily take a taxi-cab, or you don't want to save the 'fare', there is a regular Havas bus that would take you to the main bus or the railway station.

    I bought a ticket from the buscompany Hattusas as I arrived at the otogar. The busticket was 8 000 000 TL and the busride to Sungurlu took 3,5 hours. The bus left less then half an hour after I bought the ticket. Comming to the otogar you will have a big chance to find a bus to your destination without to long waitingtime.

  • The minibus to Kiranköy is 400 000 TL. In Kiranköy there are several buscompanies that have offices. I bought a ticket with Güven bus company for only 5 000 000 TL. There was a service pickup from the office to the otogar. Arriving in Ankara the service (didn't cost anything extra) then took me just next to my hotel.

  • All I know about it, and that might be useful info for somebody, that you can take metro directly from ASTI (Ankara bus station) to the center of the city. the metro station is incide of the huge bus station building _ just go downstears. it costs different prise for different destinations. I bought one way card to Kizilay station for about 1TL or something... the thing I noticed about Ankara metro is that it's extremely clean and they have screens in the train where advertisements are run (wow! ::))

  • The airport is very small for a capital city. There is an entry visa (EUR15 for EU passports) which must be paid in cash! There is no business lounge airside, so don't arrive early and expect to get some work done. A taxi to/from the airport costs abut EUR 35. It is about half an hour to town.

    ankara is well linked with train to most major towns in turksy and while the busses are fine the train is even better. the train station is also more centrally located than the bus station, so my suggestion is that you take the train if possible. the train station in ankara is quite ok. it has cafes, barber shops and even a train museum, so you do not need to be bored while waiting for the train.
