Mediterranean Turkey

The highway D400, which closely follows the shoreline of Turkish Mediterranean from one end to another, is the main road of the region. While most of it is very wide at least 2 lanes per direction and in a very good condition, some sections are very winding and narrow such as the section between Alanya and Silifke. There are other roads, such as D650, which connects more inland regions Lakes District with the D400, thus the coastline.

Buses for long-haul routes such as Antalya to Adana and minibuses for shorter routes between a major city and nearby towns will be your main mode of transportation within the region. Services are fairly frequent and quite comfortable, and especially so in more touristed areas of Lycia and Pamphylia.

Train service in the region is limited to Cilician Plains with a branch line south to Iskenderun in Hatay. Lakes District also has a nowadays mostly unused line stretching out to northwest.

There is no long-haul ferry route along the coast, however, round boat trips offer pleasant cruises into remoter parts of the coastline from major touristy towns.

There are no flights between region's airports.
