Hi,
I'm visiting turkey before 28 th of April, I will begin my trip in Antalia, going to Camer, Marmaris, Bodrum, kushadasi, Izmir, Troy, Istanbul.
1_I want to rent a car and travel by car, I wanted to know how is the road from antalia to istanbul and betweeen this cities? are there safe roads? or thee is a lot of crashes and is it safe to go by car in these roads or not?
2_is there a place you think I should visit when I pass these cities?
3_what compay or firm gives car for rent and for good price?
4_is there any guide to accompany me?
I'm open to any suggestion or ....you might have
Antalya - Kemer - Marmaris - Bodrum - Kusadasi - Izmir - Canakkale - Istanbul
So, you are taking the coast line road.
1- Roads are mostly double lane (one for each direction), not divided. If you travel during daytime, it will be safer. The accidents rate is not much higher than Europe. There is a direct road from Antalya to Istanbul, but the route you picked is surely more enjoying and beautiful.
2- Consider also Fethiye and Dalyan (between Kemer and Marmaris). Fethiye is famous with its "dead sea" a beautiful place to enjoy swimming, and Dalyan is the famous place for the Caretta Caretta's.
3- You will find all international (Budget, Avis, Hertz, etc) and some local. You have to bargain with them about the daily fental fee, insurance, maintenance, leaving the car at another location, etc.
4- No. Not me.
5- Plan your tour for not less than 30 days. The route you had picked is quite interesting, and you will probably enjoy every day of it. Such a 30-day trip will cost you around:
750 USD for car rent
750 USD for accommodation
750 USD for food
500 USD for gasoline
(and any other extras)
Good luck
