Istanbul to Antalya Destination Reviews

DM
Daniel M
We caught a bus from Istanbul Central Station to help anyone trying to catch these buses and are unfamiliar, there’s 150 bays and the brands of the buses that stop in those spots are on signage above. Alanyalilar is bay 31. The bus advertised WIFI and Charging however neither was available. We also arrived 3 hours early so be sure to plan around the slightly unexpected. Otherwise I would book again.
