From Anamur to Antalya and other Antalya, Turkey Transportation Tips

Getting TO/AROUND: I went to the otogar in Anamur the day before my departure to buy a ticket to Antalya. I wanted to buy one from Metro as I had seen they had a service from Iskele, but they did not have any tickets left. Instead I bought a ticket with Zafer – Anamur. They did not have a service to the otogar so in the morning I went out to the road to wait for the dolmush. The dolmush (minibus) is only 500 000 TL and the end stop is just behind the otogar. The bus ride between Anamur and Antalya takes about 5 hours and the first hours of this bus ride can for many be a pain. I didn’t have any problems but it is not a road for people who easily get travel sickness. Several people in the bus asked for small black plastic bags to throw up in. The road from Anamur towards Alanya is winding along the mountain slopes by the coast. From Alanya on to Antalya it is a big straight road.

Arriving at the otogar in Antalya I asked for a service bus and luckily there was one. The service took me to Kaleici and dropped me close to Saat Kulesi (Clock Tower).

The bus ticket was 18 000 000 TL.

Getting TO/AROUND: I went to a couple of bus companies before I found one selling tickets to Marmaris (didn’t think it was going to be so hard). I was looking for Pamukkale bus company for a long time and went streets up and down, nobody seemed to know the exactly where it was. Finally I found the office a couple of blocks north of Cumhuriyet Caddesi. From the office there was a service bus in the morning.

The bus ride to Marmaris took about 6 hours. In Marmaris I waited half an hour for the dolmush to Datca. The ticket could be bought in a ticket office at the otogar (bus station). The dolmush to Datca took 1 hour 45 minutes. Arriving in Datca I had no clue where to get off the bus. I asked for Tunc Pansiyon and the bus stopped just by the street leading to the pension.

The ticket Antalya – Marmaris was 23 000 000 TL and the ticket
Marmaris Datca was 7 000 000 TL.
