Advice Tips for Driving in Turkey

[IslandHopper23]

We are thinking of renting a car in Antalya for our trip to Kayseri. I've heard mixed things about driving in Turkey, and I'm curious about the road conditions, traffic rules, and any specific challenges we might face. Has anyone here driven in Turkey before? What was your experience like? Any tips on how to navigate the roads or places we shouldn’t miss along the way would be super helpful.

Driving in Turkey can be an adventure! Roads are generally well-maintained, but traffic in cities like Antalya can be hectic. Be prepared for assertive drivers and always keep an eye out for scooters weaving through traffic. On the plus side, the drive from Antalya to Kayseri offers stunning landscapes—don’t miss Cappadocia for its unique rock formations and hot air balloon rides. Planning your route ahead of time and using a reliable GPS will make the journey smoother. Safe travels!
