TURKEY : BUS Travel Istanbul to Antalya

Lets go Istanbul. Istanbul sights, attractions, hotels and restaurants:

By bus: Bus network in Turkiye is very well developed. You can reach almost all cities and towns from other cities and towns. Each city or town has their own bus terminals and travels are mainly operated from bus terminals. In Istanbul there are two Bus terminals each on one continent. The bus terminal in Esenler is the biggest and there is also one on the Asian side at Harem. Both terminals are used by bus companies."

The three reliable operating companies are Varan , Ulusoy and "BOSS".. And if they have no buses to your connection "Kamil koc", "Pamukkale", "Uludag" or "Metro" can also be chosen.

• Varan & Ulusoy do not use the Istanbul main bus terminal, besides they have sub stations.
• "BOSS" has very high quality service and probably the most pricy one, however you shall travel alone in a leather covered seat as seen on picture.

Note: Many bus companies has special call center lines which starts with "444 XX XX", which can be reached all around Turkey as local calls.
