Istanbul-Ankara Trains, Turkey

Trains between Istanbul (Haydarpasa Station) and Ankara (Ankara Station) are the best in Turkey. Most are fast, comfortable and cheap.
The faster the train, the higher the fare.
(Note that each "train" is actually two: one leaves Istanbul and the other leaves Ankara at or near the same time, heading to the other city.)
Fares in the chart below are one-way (single), per person, in a full-fare seat. Discounts are available.

Orient Express Trains to Turkey

In 1883 the era of great international express trains began with the Orient Express from Paris to Constantinople (Istanbul).
In earlier years, going by train between Europe and the Ottoman Empire was slow and tedious. Each country through which the traveler's route passed had a different railroad administration, and passengers were obliged to descend from one train, walk across the border and climb into the next.
Belgian entrepreneur Georges Nagelmackers had a better idea: obtain permission to use the tracks along the route, supply luxury coaches, and just change locomotives at the border. He founded the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et Grands Express Européens to carry out his plans.
The journey between Paris and Constantinople took several days. Passengers relaxed in their plush compartments, complete with washbasins, cabinets, other amenities, and comfortable beds. (Interestingly, sleeping cars came to be called wagon-lits in English, and sleepings in French!) Dining cars supplied all meals, and the steward brought you a cup of tea or a spot of brandy whenever required. Border formalities took place right on the train.
In fact, Nagelmackers' train was a rolling deluxe hotel, with standards of service and comfort that exceeded all but Europe's finest hotels. The fare was extraordinarily high, but so was the status--and, because train compartments were private-- so was the opportunity for illicit romantic assignations.
In short, the train was a great success.
In the late 1800s various routings were explored, but by the mid-20th century the train's route had stabilized: Paris (Gare de l'Est), Lausanne, Milan, Venice, Trieste, Belgrade, Sofia and Edirne to Istanbul (Constantinople).
In Constantinople, however, Nagelmackers had a problem: there was no suitable hostelry in which to lodge his pampered passengers once they arrived. So he built the Pera Palace Hotel, a late-19th-century Orientalist fantasy that today is the Ottoman nostalgia-seekers' favorite refuge in Istanbul.
By the time I rode the Orient Express in the 1970s, it was a mere shadow of its glorious former self. International trains were commonplace. The Compagnie Internationale still owned and operated the sleeping cars, but they were old now, and the posh passengers had been lured to air travel. Standards of service were still good, but the great age of overnight train travel had clearly ended.
In 1977 the Orient Express was removed from the timetables, having connected Paris and Istanbul/Constantinople for nearly a century.

Car Rental (Hire) in Turkey

It costs a minimum of YTL60 per day to rent a car in Turkey when all expenses are included, and from the better companies the cost is more like YTL75 to YTL90.
This is for the cheapest hire car at the lowest-priced agency: standard (manual) transmission ("stick shift"), without air conditioning, but with most additional charges such as insurance, fuel, taxes, tolls and parking included. Larger agencies with offices in many cities and resorts, better cars and service, may cost more. (Check prices here.)
Cars can be hired in most Turkish cities and resorts and reserved online. Small local rental companies may have the lowest rates. They may have decent cars adequate for sightseeing in the immediate area, but if you wander farther afield you may want the security of a larger company with multiple offices and larger staff. If you have a mishap or breakdown, a larger company will be able to come to your aid more quickly and expertly.
Turkish rental cars tend to be smaller European and Asian models with standard (manual) transmission and radio. They're usually described as "5-passenger" cars, but five adults do not ride comfortably for long distances; rather, they're good for two to four adults, or two adults and one or two children, and not a lot of luggage. Their small engines make hauling four adults and their luggage a slow process. More expensive cars are larger, more comfortable and more powerful.
Child safety seats are often available (for a fee of about YTL15 per day), but you should reserve yours in advance to make sure it's there for you.
Advertised rental rates, including most liability and collision insurance, may be YTL35 to YTL100 and up per day (YTL245 to YTL700 per week), but when fuel, tax and other costs are added, the price nearly doubles to YTL500 to YTL1300 per week.
The actual price depends on the season of the year, the rental location, the rental agency, the type and condition of the car, the length of the rental period, and the type of insurance you purchase. (Check prices here.)
If you ask that the car be delivered to a town or place in which the rental company does not have an office, you may be charged a delivery fee from the company's nearest office to the delivery point). Likewise, if you do not return the car to the same office at which you rented it, you may be charged a transfer fee. More...
Should you rent a car? Compare relative costs of transport in Turkey.
Turkey has a high traffic accident rate, so highway safety is a consideration when you decide whether or not to travel by road.

Major Turkish Airports

Here are Turkey's principal airports. Note that many travelers have complained about high prices for food and drink at Turkey's major airports. My own quick comparison showed that the price for a cup of coffee at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport was 40% higher than the relatively high price at Frankfurt Airport, and twice as high as at Paris's not-inexpensive Charles de Gaulle Airport.
For transfers from Istanbul's Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen Airport, the best value in terms of comfort and security is the Airport Transfer Service operated by Backpackers Travel. For Cappadocia's airports (Kayseri and Nevsehir), the Turkish Airlines shuttle operated by Argeus Tourism & Travel is excellent value.
For transfers from other airports, if you want to be sure a reserved taxi will be waiting for you there, contact Taxi Reservations.
ADANA: Sakirpasa Airport (ADA), 4 km (2.5 miles) west of the city center, has daily flights to and from Ankara and Istanbul. Flights & fares
ANKARA: Esenboga Airport (ESB), which serves some international but mostly domestic flights, is 33 km (21 miles) north of the city center. Airport bus (every 30 minutes from 4:30 am to midnight, 50-minute trip) and taxi (YTL60) get you into the capital. Flights & fares
ANTALYA: The big, modern Antalya Airport (AYT), 10 km (6 miles) east of the city center along the shore highway, has daily flights to and from Ankara, Istanbul, and in summer several foreign cities (map).

Sun Express Flights in Turkey

Sun Express (airline code: XQ) is a low-fare Turkish-German joint-venture airline that flies lots of vacationers from Austria, Germany and Switzerland to Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman and Izmir's Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) in Turkey.
In summer, Sun Express also runs inexpensive domestic Turkish flights from its Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport hub to Adana (3 a week), Antalya (14 a week), Diyarbakir (3), Erzurum (2), Kayseri (for Cappadocia, 2 a week), Konya (2), Trabzon (4) and Van (2).
Sun Express is expanding its route system, so check the Sun Express website for new routes and more frequent service.
If you're flying to or from Cappadocia, you should know that Rock Valley Travel operates an airline shuttle service that connects with Sun Express flights. They'll drive you between the airport and your hotel in Ürgüp, Göreme, Avanos or Uçhisar. More...

AtlasJet, a Turkish Airline

Atlasjet (or Atlas Jet) is a low-fare Turkish airline owned by two large Turkish tour operators, Etstur and Öger Tours.
Like Onur Air, it started as a charter airline flying tour participants from Europe to Turkey. Now it welcomes the general public to its flights, challenging the traditional national carrier, Turkish Airlines, and serves several internal Turkish routes.
Atlasjet operates daily flights from Istanbul to Adana, Ankara, Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman, Erzincan, Izmir, Malatya, Siirt, Trabzon, and Van, as well as twice-weekly flights from Istanbul to northern (Turkish) Cyprus.
Fares on most of its flights are about YTL89, but check possibly airport transfer costs as well.
The Atlasjet website supposedly has flight info, but I couldn't get the "Domestic Flight Schedules" function to work in any of three web browsers, so I can't tell you about their routes or fares.
For fares and reservations you can telephone +90 (216) 444 0 387, and supposedly get that information in English. (Within Turkey, this is the number: 444 0 387.)
Atlasjet tickets are sold by some Turkish travel agents (though some may be reluctant to sell them because the commission is so low they may lose money on the sale).

Onur Air, a Turkish Airline

Onur Air (codes: 8Q, OHY) is one of Turkey's newer airlines, challenging older Turkish Airlines, flying to most major Turkish airports.
I've flown with Onur Air several times, and they were fine flights: comfortable, professional, on time.
Here are some sample airfares.
Onur's fleet of aircraft (mostly Airbus) has been flying tour groups to and from Germany and Switzerland since 1992 in association with Ten Tour, a major Turkish tour operator.
In the last few years Onur has been expanding its Turkish domestic flights. Its routes from Istanbul include flights to:
AdanaAntalyaBodrum Diyarbakir
Erzurum Gaziantep Izmir Kars
Kayseri Malatya Samsun Trabzon
ReservationsIt's not quite as easy to make reservations on Onur Air flights as it is on Turkish Airlines flights because fewer travel agencies work with Onur Air. (Two that do are Turista, right in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district; and Argeus Tourism in Cappadocia.)
Supposedly, you can make your own reservations online using the Onur Air website, but in my experience the website is so loaded with unnecessary flashing, blinking, moving things that it slows your Web browser to a crawl, and even dropping down a menu or filling in a field can take forever.
TTP users regularly send me messages about the difficulty of making a reservation on the Onur Air website. (The Turkish Airlines website is SO much better!)
You can try to contact them by email, telephone or fax, but some TTP users have found it difficult to get an answer:

Turkish Lira (TL, TR)

The New Turkish Lira (Yeni Türk Lirasi, YTL or TRY), was introduced on January 1, 2005, but YTL/TRY banknotes are being replaced during 2009 with new E9 series notes called simply Turkish Lira (Türk Lirasi).
The 2009 TL notes (bills) are in denominations of TL1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 liras. The lira is divided into 100 Kurus (Kurus, koo-ROOSH), with coins in denominations of Kr1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 (Kurus) and TL1. More...
The 2005 New Turkish Lira (YTL) notes are being withdrawn during 2009 as the new "E9" series of TL bank notes is introduced. After December 31, 2009, YTL notes will no longer be accepted for payment, but may be exchanged for the newer 2009-series Turkish Lira notes at any branch of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TC Merkez Bankasi), or TC Ziraat Bankasi.
Turkish liras is how the bill for your Istanbul hotel, your rental car, a nargile (water pipe) or just a glass of Turkish tea will be denominated during 2009.
Here are current Turkish Lira exchange rates.
It's usually best to obtain your Turkish liras in Turkey rather than before you leave home, as the exchange rates outside Turkey are usually not as good as those inside the country.
It's easy to obtain liras while you travel in Turkey by using your home bank ATM card, or exchanging cash US dollars, Euros or GB pounds. More...
The 2009 Turkish Lira is equivalent to one million (old, pre-2005) Turkish Liras (TL). In other words, six zeros were dropped from the old TL in 2005 to make the new TL.
Old pre-2005 Turkish Liras The YTL replaced the old pre-2005 Türk Lirasi (TL, TRL). Old Turkish liras were withdrawn from circulation during 2005.
Note that you should not accept pre-2005 Turkish Lira notes any more. They are no longer legal for payment.
Old TL notes may now be exchanged for YTL only at Turkish Central Bank (TC Merkez Bankasi) offices or, in the absence of a Central Bank office, at a TC Ziraat Bankasi office, until December 31, 2016.
After December 31, 2016, old TL notes and coins will no longer be legal tender (ie, official currency). In other words, they will be worthless except for their curiosity or collectors' value.
CounterfeitingWith the changes in banknotes in 2005 and 2009, there's been an increase in counterfeiting of the new Turkish money, especially of TL50 notes. It's done two ways:
— Counterfeit notes are printed that do not have all of the official security features
— New Turkish Lira notes with the official security features are altered to show a higher value (ie, a YTL1 note is altered to look like a YTL50 or YTL100 note)
Look carefully at any higher-denomination YTL notes/bills to make sure they are legitimate. A few seconds' inspection often suffices.

Cheap Airfares & Airlines to Turkey

Hah! I have to laugh when I think that the airline industry is very much like Istanbul's Grand Bazaar: How much does it cost to fly to Turkey? As much as the airlines can get you to pay!
Honestly, there may be several dozen different fares for the same flight. Unfortunately, no one agency or website always gives the lowest fare. You've got to shop around.
Generally speaking, airfares to Turkey are lowest in December and January and highest in June and July; May, August and September are a bit lower, April and October lower still. Here are general fare guidelines from Kayak in US$ for round-trip flights, Boston MA (USA) to Istanbul, taxes and fees included:

From EuropeBesides the Turkish airlines of AtlasJet, Onur Air, and Sun Express, several smaller low-cost European airlines operate cheap flights to Turkey.
Most fly to Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, not to Istanbul's main Atatürk International Airport, 23 km west of the city center on the European side of the Bosphorus.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport is much farther from the center of historic Istanbul, and not as convenient for ground transport as Atatürk Airport, but the airfares are certainly lower.
CorendonBased in the Netherlands, Corendon flies from Eindhoven and Brussels to Istanbul (SAW).
easyJeteasyJet now flies from the UK to Turkey.
GermanwingsThis German carrier operates flights from Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne-Bonn and Stuttgart to Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir.
Pegasus AirThis Turkish domestic airline flies from Istanbul (SAW) to Ankara, thence tothe far eastern Turkey cities of Trabzon and Van. Here's their website.

Airfares & Flight Costs in Turkey

First thing to know: if you buy a ticket for a Turkish Airlines domestic flight from outside of Turkey, it will cost more—perhaps twice as much!—than if you were to buy it when you are in Turkey, or from a ticket sales or travel agent who is in Turkey.
What to do if you want to buy your domestic flight tickets before you arrive in Turkey? Simple: buy your ticket through a travel agency in Turkey!
You can buy your ticket in advance, pay by credit card, and receive an e-ticket by email. Click here for good travel agencies.
Turkish Airlines has flights among major cities which are convenient for longer distances. Onur Air, AtlasJet, Izair and Pegasus Air fares may be lower, but schedules and service may not be as favorable as on Turkish Airlines.
See also Major Airports and Airport/City Codes.
Important! Be sure to figure the cost of airport transfers into your trip budget. Transfers from some airports to some destinations can be expensive. More...
Turkish Airlines' major hub is Istanbul's Atatürk Airport. Nonstop flights between Istanbul and other Turkish cities have the best fares.
To fly from a smaller city (Izmir, Antalya) to another smaller city (Kayseri/Cappadocia, Adana) you may have to fly to the Istanbul hub and take a connecting flight, which raises the price of your itinerary about 30%.

When to Travel in Turkey

When to travel in Turkey? Spring is best, autumn next, then summer, last winter.
SPRING Spring (April, May, through mid-June) is prime because the weather is moderate throughout the country, the days are long, and the tourist rush hasn't begun. April can be rainy, though.
AUTUMN Autumn (mid-September through October) is second best with mostly mild weather, but the days are shorter, and rain may begin again in October.
SUMMER Summer (mid-June, July, August, through mid-September) is quite hot in five of Turkey's seven distinct climatic regions, though usually rainless, and cool inland in the evenings.
WINTER Winter (November, December, January, February, March) is chill and rainy everywhere except the southeast, but with lower prices and fewer tourists.

Istanbul Travel Guide, Turkey

Once you've settled into your Istanbul hotel, you might want to take a city tour for orientation, and later a Bosphorus cruise or an excursion to the Princes' Islands, to the nearby cities of Edirne, Iznik (Nicaea) or Bursa, Gallipoli and Troy, or even Ephesus or Cappadocia.
Many of Istanbul's top sights such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome, are in Sultanahmet, as are many good hotels, including charming Ottoman inns.
Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is just a 12- to 15-minute walk or short tram ride west of Sultanahmet along the old Roman road.
Most 4-star and 5-star hotels are near Taksim Square in Beyoglu, or on the Bosphorus.
You can see Istanbul's top sights in a rush on an overnight stay, but you'll need at least two days to do them justice, and three or four days to really get a sense of the city. In a week, you can get a good look at most of what Istanbul has to offer, do some shopping and enjoy an excursion as well.
Be sure to take some time to just sit at a sidewalk cafe and sip Turkish tea or coffee, or go native and smoke a nargile (water pipe). Dine on savory Turkish cuisine in an excellent Istanbul estaurant, consume a traditional fish sandwich by the Golden Horn, and you'll realize why it's my favorite city in all the world.
To make getting around fast, cheap and easy, get an Akbil transit passIstanbul's Akbil electronic transit pass is convenient and can save you money if you stay in Istanbul for more than a few days, or if you're traveling with one or more companions.
The pass is a small stainless steel "button" (actually a Maxim Integrated Products iButton) on a plastic holder. Inside is a computer chip.
Two or more people can use the same Akbil. There is no need for a traveling party to purchase more than one Akbil. Just use the one Akbil for each person as they pass through the turnstile.
Akbil fares are about 10% lower than token fares, so if the token fare is YTL1.30, you pay only YTL1.20 with Akbil.
More importantly, passengers using Akbil are allowed free transfers among transit lines and means. Pay for the initial stage of your journey with an Akbil, and you can transfer to other transport within 45 minutes without additional charge. So you could take the tram from Sultanahmet to Karaköy, board a ferry to Haydarpasa, then board a suburban train, and your Akbil will record only one fare. (If you use tokens instead of Akbil, you'd pay three fares for this journey.)
When you use your Akbil to transfer, the turnstile will make a different sound and its little display will read Ücretsiz (no charge) or something like it, so you'll know you're not being charged.
To get an Akbil, find an Akbil kiosk (Akbil Satis Noktasi: see the photo on this page)—they're in Eminönü, Taksim Square, Zeytinburnu, and other high-traffic spots. More...
Say Akbil almak istiyorum and the Akbil clerk will give you an Akbil button in exchange for a YTL6 (US$4.50) deposit. Be sure to get and keep a paper receipt for the transaction so you can reclaim your deposit before leaving Istanbul.
Give the clerk additional money with which to "charge" your button (say, YTL10), and you're all set for eight or nine journeys without the hassle of having to find a ticket kiosk, buy tickets or tokens (jeton), and count your change.
Akbil is accepted on Istanbul's buses (both municipal and private), trams, Tünel, Metro, Füniküler, suburban trains, "sea bus" fast catamaran ferries, and traditional ferries. (For shorter trips, four people can take a taxi for the same as, or just slightly more than, four transit fares.)
Here are tips on how to use and recharge your Akbil.
