In-Depth Information
Useful websites for tourists
see and do, and some areas being
quite remote, there will be a lot
of food snacks and drinks,
changes of clothes and buggies to
carry around so a car is by far the
best option. All the major towns
and cities, plus the airports, have
car-hire company offices (see
p. 34 (Chapter 2)). If you're con-
sidering going off the beaten
track, such as visiting historic
sites or remote bays, then be sure
to hire a 4x4 vehicle.
Another option is to travel by
bus . The bigger towns and
cities, such as Antalya, Fethiye
and Alanya, have extremely good
bus networks. Inner city centres
are served by dolmu@ (shared
minibuses) with their ultimate
destination displayed on a plate
at the front of the bus. In
Fethiye , the dolmu @ minibuses
also run to nearby resorts, such
as Calı@ around 5km away,
Hisarönü , Ovacık and Ölü
Deniz . Outer city areas and
nearby towns tend to be served
by larger midi-buses. From
Antalya, for example, you can
hop on a midi-bus at the bus

Orientation
The Mediterranean region is the
southernmost area of Turkey and
links the Aegean region at Patara
with the South East Anatolia
region at Hatay. For the most
part it hugs the coastline, but
the region also goes 100km or so
inland and takes in such fasci-
nating cities as Isparta, where
two great natural parks, the
Kasnak Mesesi and the
Sütcüler Sigla, are located. The
region's major towns and cities
include Antalya , Side , Belek ,
Adana and Alanya . The coun-
try's capital, Ankara , is around
400km due north.
Getting Around
The easiest way to get around the
Mediterranean region of Turkey
is by hire car . With so much to
