Konya is
served by bus, train,
high-speed train, and plane.
Bus
Several companies run buses
to Konya from
many other Turkish cities, including Aksaray, Ankara, Antalya,
Isparta & Eğirdir, Istanbul and
Nevşehir (Cappadocia).
Here are
estimated travel times.
It's best if you
can reserve your seat a day
or so in advance (ask your
hotel to help you), but if
not, just go to the bus station and
you'll probably be
on your
way comfortably to Konya in an hour
or two.
For example, five
companies run buses on the
663-km (412-mi), 10-hour trip between
Istanbul and Konya.
(More...)
There are even more frequent buses
between Ankara and Konya (260 km/162
miles, 3.5 hours). (More distances and travel times below.)
Train
There are currently no direct
trains between Istanbul and Konya as
the rail
line is being upgraded for high-speed
service, but there is high-speed
train (Yüksek
Hızlı Tren) service
between Ankara and Konya, with five
trains daily in each direction taking
less than 2 hours to traverse the 300-km
distance. (Buses take 3 to 4 hours.)
There's also the İç Anadolu
Mavi Tren (Inner
Anatolia Blue Train), a night train
between Arifiye, east of Istanbul, and Konya with
one sleeping
car and Pullman cars.
