GETTING AROUND
»
Air
Flights to Ankara Esenboğa from Turkish and foreign airports; from İstanbul to
Nevşehir, Kayseri (both Cappadocia) and Denizli (near Pamukkale).
»
Boat
İDO ferries cross the Sea of Marmara between İstanbul and Bursa.
»
Bus
A good way to get between major towns; shuttles link Cappadocia with its two air-
ports.
»
Car
Good roads; major hire companies in Ankara and small companies in Göreme.
»
Dolmuş
Useful for small journeys in Cappadocia.
»
Tour
A good way to see Cappadocia's remoter sights and Afrodisias, Sagalassos and
Hattuşa.
»
Train
High-speed trains from Ankara to Konya and Eskişehir, and long-distance trains to
eastern Anatolia.
BE FOREWARNED
»
Distances
Anatolia is vast; don't try to cover too much.
»
Ankara Esenboğa
İstanbul's airports offer more choice; even flying domestically, it may
save you time and money to travel via İstanbul.
»
Accommodation
Splashing out is virtually compulsory in Safranbolu, and worth budget-
ing for in Cappadocia with its cave hotels.
