The Buses

Overnight buses- 10-13 hours each trip. To date ( today being our second to last day in Turkey) we have done 3 overnighters. Exhausting but the most cost effective and direct way to travel. The most recent one had personal TV’s and sound ( all in Turkish of course, but when you are desperate to watch something even foreign is ok) and Wifi- great if they would only avoid the pot holes in the roads / highway. Great service, hot and cold drinks, biscuits, cakes, snacks and cleansing wipes after 12 hours of little sleep. They stop every 3 hours in these huge bus stops with restaurants and shops. The buses are washed down( in the we hours of the morning) and off we go again. Its all organised as you go as to what shuttles you need to get on and at what point and when you get off , no point stressing as it all seems to fall into place and eventually you arrive where you planned after several changeovers.
