Driving in Turkey

by adema29

You'll have no problem driving in Turkey. Actually I found it very "exciting" in Antalya as the speed is not so strict controlled and the roads are new and wide... that's the nice part of the life isn't it? :)Of course, you have to be more careful than in your place as they are driving a bit "different"... nothing to be scared about anyway.The rules are more or less the same and you’ll understand the signs without problem… keep safe anyway and … have a nice trip!All is so simple… “do what the locals- but not the Romans- do” :)

Hire a car & drive yourself

by smirnofforiginal

The beauty of driving in any country is that you are the boss and in control of your own jouney - stopping (or not) where it does or doesn't suit...Driving in Turkey is pretty easy. The driving test is 10 meters forwards and 10 meters back in reverse... and this is probably the biggest hazard of the road... the standard of driving combined with some of the silly risks some of the drivers take.It seems as though there is not a road in Turkey that is not being constructed or being repaired or resurfaced. This means that you can drive a full day spending your time switching from one side of the carriageway to the other... and it is not always easy to guess where you are meant to be driving!There are lots of signs that say RADAR and you really want to take notice of these and ensure you are doing the correct speed because 8 out of 10 times the police will be there with their radars. I got...

Buses - long distance - overnight

by smirnofforiginal

There are pros and cons to the buses...The good thing is that you can travel overnight which means you do not waste any precious time travelling. Another positive aspect of an overnight bus is that you save on a nights accommodation. The buses are generally comfortable - at least as comfortable as you can be when sitting still for long periods, such as 13 hours!The down side is that the buses have to stop approx every 3 hours for toilet/cigarette/snack break so you don't really get any proper sleep. Amusingly the buses have little tv screens on the back of the chairs and one of the things you can do (yes, yes on a night bus where is is totally dark - pitch black outside) is watch the live camera that is on the front of the bus... so you can enjoy the same thrills as the driver - dark, dark, dark,,, ooooh bright headlights oncoming and burning out your retinas!!!The bus journey from...

THE TRAMS THE WAY TO GO

by cheerssweetie

USE THE TRAM IF YOU CAN.First of all if you are staying in Sultanahmet or anywhere along the tram line and arriving at ATTATURK INTERNATIONL AIRPORT and want to avoid Istanbul and an expensive taxi ride catch the Metro and than a Tram for about TLR3.50After exiting the arrivals hall turn right and make your way to the end to the escalators down to the Metro. You need to buy a token first, go through the turnstyles and down to the Metro catch it (theres only one way to go) to Zeytinburnu(6 Stops) get off grab another token and go through the turnstyles and catch a tram to your destination of choice.Note: easiest to put your bag through the disabled/pram gates and you walk through turnstyle next to it.

Onur Air: fly for the same price as the bus

by midnight_mike

I flew roundtrip from Istanbul to Adana in southern Turkey for $90! The service was pretty good. It was about the same as Turkish Air. Onur Air travels from Istanbul to places such as Izmir, Antalya and Trabzon. All are about the same price.

Getting to Antakya from Istanbul

by midnight_mike

To get to Antakya/Hatay from Istanbul, book a flight to Adana. From there, you will have to take a taxi to the Adana bus station. There are frequent buses to Antakya, taking about three hours. It is a very scenic ride that passes along the Mediterranean Sea and through the mountains. There are also several buses each day going from Istanbul to Antakya. If you are in another city in western or central Turkey, you might want to take a bus to Adana and then change buses.

by rachel_sun

AROUND.................Me and my mum went on several sightseeing tours on air conditioned coaches,which were great.We had a guide to tell us about everything and take us to all the important areas.The trips included lunch and drinks and the guides were very friendly and helpful.I learned alot on these tours.The tours were done by Tapestry Travel(web address-www.tapestryholidays.com) and all the tours were very tasteful and show the area,but nice areas,not tacky touristy areas.All the beautiful unspoilt sights.I say a few of these trips are a must.

Save on national flights inside Turkey

by melosh

Turkey is not the first place I have found where good deals for internal flights are hard to find on the most used flight booking services like Expedia, Travelocity or Cheap-O tickets, but are available once one gets into the country. What delighted me about Turkey is that I found a web site for the AndoluJet airline that allowed me to buy a ticket over the internet before I got into Turkey. I saved over 50% of the cost of ticket from Ankara to Van on Air Turkey (It cost only about 40 USD.), by flying on AndoluJet. Oddly, it turns out that AndoluJet is owned by Air Turkey.One unusual security requirement was that I had to show them the credit card I used to buy the ticket, when I went to get my boarding pass at the airport.

Traveling by bus

by AlperIst

Hi Raymond,No worries, you will have no problem finding ticket at the same day you want to leave or at your arrival day in any town.Varan and Ulusoy are better companies than the ones mentioned above, so try to use them at the routes they operate. But all bus companies even the worst ones have a better service than the ones in Europe. They are just more dangerous :) So, enjoy your June travel, you will like it.Alper
