Driving times
 

Hi. My wife and I are planning a 2 week trip to Turkey. We'll be renting a car and have made a rough itinerary. BUT, we're not sure about travel times by car. Does anyone know how long it will take to driver these distances (assuming a reasonably sedate pace, errrrr.... if possible)?<BR>Istanbul - Canakkale<BR>Canakkale - Assos<BR>Assos - Selcuk (Ephesus)<BR>Selcuk - Fethiye <BR>Fethiye - Kas<BR>Kas - Olympos<BR>Olympos - Antalya

I actually had to check out my "old standby" answer to questions on driving distances and time estimates - - to see if they actually cover Turkey. I should have never have doubted.<BR><BR>from www.viamichelin.com<BR><BR>205 mi in 4h32 (including 50 mi by motorway in 0h55<BR><BR>for Istanbul to Canakkale.<BR><BR>I didn't check out the other two I ordinarily recommend:<BR><BR>www.mappy.com<BR><BR>or<BR><BR>w ww.geoshellstar.com<BR><BR>I feel certain it would serve you well to become familiar with (one or more of) these very useful websites.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

michael - you could be asking about driving times ANYWHERE. Try posting a new question with a better title. At minimum put Turkey in the title.

2 weeks are really not enough to visit all this places Michael.Stay at least 1 week in Istanbul and then you can drive to Canakkale visit hist.places and then<BR>drive to this quiet place-Assos with wonderful sea and meals.If you are interested in Scuba-diving,you can drive 1/2 hour from Canakkale to SAROZ.<BR>OR after Istanbul you can drive to Selcuk.(take the seabus from Yenikapi/Istanbul to Bandirma)www.ido.com.tr)and then to Fethiye-kas-kalkan-olympos.etc<BR>Apprx driving times( 80-90km/hour)<BR>&Yacute;st- Canakkale-290km 4 hours<BR>Canakkale-Assos-2 hours<BR>Selcuk-Fethiye 3 hours<BR>Fethiye-kas 2 hours<BR>kas-olympos 2 hours<BR>olympos-antalya 2 hours<BR>Please ask for any further info<BR><BR><BR>
