Turkey is well connected by multiple forms of transport. Flying can be a great time saver, and there are many flights around Turkey with Turkish Airlines and low-cost carriers like Pegasus Airlines. Bus, however, is the most popular way to travel long-distances. For example, you could travel by bus from Istanbul to the capital Ankara in about 6-7h, while you could fly the distance in about 55min. There are two types of buses — coach and Dolmus (minibus). Coaches cover journeys longer than two hours and are luxurious and cheap. Dolmus minibuses are an easy form of short-distance transport (less than two hours). The destination is displayed in the windscreen and you pay the driver. Hire cars are reasonably, priced but petrol is expensive, so if you’re travelling long distances, it might be better to go by coach and hire a car locally.

If you enjoy bargaining, head to the 500-year-old Grand Bazaar – one of the biggest covered bazaars in the world. Watch the Sufi whirling dervishes performing their spiritual dance at a dervish hall.
