Turkey Without a Car: UK Traveller Guide

Can you do Turkey without driving? Absolutely. In fact, in many places, a car is a burden.

Where you DO NOT need a car

  • Istanbul: Traffic is a nightmare. Use Metro/Ferry.
  • Antalya City: Trams and taxis are easy.
  • Marmaris/Bodrum Town: Walkable, plus Dolmus for beaches.

Where a car HELPS

  • Fethiye: To see Saklikent, Patara, and varied beaches, a car is useful (though tours exist).
  • Cappadocia: Sites are spread out, though the "Red Tour" takes you to them anyway.

The Dolmuş Solution

For short hops (e.g., Fethiye to Oludeniz), the Dolmuş runs every 10 minutes. It costs pennies. You don't need a car to get to the beach.
