Public transportation, including long-distance buses, domestic aircraft, minibuses, and ferries, virtually covers the entire country of Turkey. New high-speed lines connecting the nation’s capital Ankara with Istanbul, Konya, and Sivas are being built as part of a revamp of the aging rail system. In Turkey, late reservations are typical, but for big public holidays, make your reservations well in advance, particularly for flights and trains. If you shop around, you can find decent car rental prices, and low-season rentals are typically far less expensive than those during peak season.
