Turkey is a land of historic wealth and boasts an incredibly diverse landscape that consists of sunny Mediterranean beaches and mountainous terrain that harbour many excellent ski resorts. The country is massive and travelling any farther than a few hundred miles by train or bus can be tiring, while the roads are plagued by inconsiderate local drivers.

Turkey has several convenient and well-equipped airports that have opened up otherwise out-of-reach places and air tickets with the national carrier are reasonably priced. There are ten airports in Turkey, many of which accept international flights and have good transportation links.

Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport is located to the east of the city and serves millions of domestic and international passengers that pass through its two terminals each year. Flights go to numerous destinations around the world and throughout Turkey and connections with Istanbul’s second airport are good. Istanbul Atatürk International Airport also received many flights and a regular shuttle bus runs between the city’s two airports. The Seabus Port is also an option for travelling to neighbouring cities.

On the beautiful south coast of Turkey lies the busy Antalya International Airport, which boasts a capacity to handle three-million passengers per year and is open 24 hours a day. Situated to the east of Antalya, Antalya Airport has three terminals - one for domestic, one for international and one for cargo. A shuttle bus provides transport to the nearby resorts and hotels, while taxis are also readily available.

Located to the west of Antalya and also on the Mediterranean coast is the modern Dalaman International Airport, which handles three-million passengers per year who pass through its two terminals. There are regular flights from Istanbul as well as direct flights to European destinations. The airport is open 24 hours a day and is situated very near to the city, with transport links provided by buses and taxis.
