BY ROAD
Road networks: Turkey has an extensive network of well maintained roads linking its towns, cities, and popular tourist areas.

Inter – City Coaches: Many private companies provide day and night services between all Turkish cities. Coaches depart from the bus station (otogar) in large towns, and from the centers of town or smaller cities.

Taxis and Dolmus: Taxis are numerous in all Turkish cities and are recognizable by their yellow color. The fare shown on the meter reads according to distance traveled.  The "Dolmus" a special service found only in Turkey, is a collective taxi which follows specific routes. It may be a car or minibus. Each passenger pays according to distance traveled. The relatively cheap fares are fixed by the municipality. The "Dolmus" provides a service within large cities, to suburbs, airports, and often to neighboring towns. This is a very practical means of transportation and much cheaper than a taxi.
