AIRLINES
Turkey is well connected by air throughout the country, although many flights go via the
hubs of İstanbul or Ankara. Internal flights are a good option in such a large country, and
competition between the following keeps tickets affordable.

30 airports in its parent company's network.

ful network of about 15 airports, with most flights from Antalya, İstanbul and İzmir.

BICYCLE
» Hazards These include Turkey's notorious road-hog drivers, rotten road edges and, out
east, stone-throwing children, wolves and ferocious Kangal dogs. Avoid main roads
between cities; secondary roads are safer and more scenic.
» Hire You can hire bikes for short periods in tourist towns along the coast and in Cap-
padocia.
