Ankara
is Central
Anatolia's
transport nexus for train, plane,
bus and highway routes.
Here's how to travel between Ankara
and Cappadocia.
BUS
Ankara's
huge ASTI (AHSH-tee) bus
terminal is the hub of the
country's road transport network,
with bus
service to all points at
all hours of the day and much
of the
night. More...
TRAIN
Ankara
Gar (train station)
has good service to
and from Istanbul (and Eskisehir),
and useful services to Izmir,
and several cities farther away. Two
trains head to eastern
Turkey: the Erzurum
Ekspresi and the Dogu
Ekspresi.
AIR
Turkish
Airlines, Onur
Air, AtlasJet and FlyAir have
frequent flights to/from Istanbul,
and service to most other important
cities more than about 300 km (186
miles) from Ankara.
Esenboga
Airport is
33 km (21 miles, about 50 minutes
in normal traffic) northeast of
Ankara's city center, reached by Havas
airport bus from the ASTI bus
terminal or Ankara
Gari train
station, or by expensive taxi.
METRO/ANKARAY
Ankara
has two underground
trains: the Metro and Ankaray lines.

CAR
I certainly do not recommend
driving in Ankara.
The traffic is fierce, fast and intense,
traffic patterns crazy,
driving habits bizarre, and signage insufficient—to
name only a few good reasons.
However, here are distances
and driving times between
Ankara and various other Turkish cities.
If
you want to rent
a car in Ankara to
drive elsewhere, or to return a rental
car here, consider renting
or returning at Esenboga
Airport,
which may make the task a bit easier.
