Getting Around Some places in Izmir are served by rail or bus links from Izmir International Airport, but many destinations, including Kusadasi, aren’t. If this is the case for you, private shuttle transfer or car hire is the best option. Alternatively, ask your hotel if they operate a service. Resorts like Kusadasi are easy to get around on foot, and taxis and organised tours are both widely available for exploring. Travelling by bus or car Izmir city has a big bus terminal where you can travel far and wide. As a tourist, you’re more likely to use the resorts’ dolmus minibus services, where you flag the bus down and say stop when you want to get off. Car hire is a good option if you want the freedom to explore independently but do remember that Turkish driving can be erratic by UK standards! Remember to stick to the right hand side of the road. Passports and Visas British citizens require a visa to enter Turkey. To avoid waiting at the airport, buy one online from the official e-Visa website and print it out. Your passport should have 6 months validity from arrival date plus a blank page for your visa stamp.
