travel to turkey

[jenadelo]

What can you tell me about Turkey that we should know before taking a tour to Istabul, Izmir, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Ankara? Is there anything that we should make an effort to see or go to? How is transportation, such as buses and cabs? Jena

Hi Jena,

I’m Pelin from Istanbul / Turkey. My suggestion is that you come to Istanbul firstly and then take tour to the destinations which you want to visit here.
I’m sure that it’s better and cheaper way.

On the other hand, you buy tour online.
For example, http://www.biggtravel.com, http://www.bookinturkey.com etc.

Also, Ankara is the capitol of Turkey. It’s not touristic place. So, I never hear any tour to there… But if you want to go, you can fly from Istanbul to there in 45 min. or by otobus 4-5 hours.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Best regards from Istanbul

Thank you Pelin for your answer. We will be going with a tour group, flying into Istanbul and leaving from there also. My main concern was what we will be doing in our free time when we are not with the tour. How is the bus transportation and the taxis. Are they easy to take and reasonably priced?

ok. I will give you some web adresses for bus transportation.
You can go wherever you want by them.

They are both of th biggest bus transportation companies of Turkey. ( Safety and quality. ) ULUSOY and VARAN

Also, taxies, shuttles for Istanbul Airport. Taxies are a little bit expensive. But not that much. You can use shuttle from airport to Istanbul city center. ( Taksim, Atakoy etc.) Click here

Let me give another alternative transportation >>seabuses. They are very fast.

I hope you will enyoj here.
Best regards

Pelin
