Amasya Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Amasya is not far off the busy route between Ankara and Samsun, so buses are frequent. Some bus companies maintain ticket offices on the main square; a dolmuş to the otogar costs €0.40.

To get to Safranbolu (€17, nine hours), take an early morning minibus to Gerede, alight at the Karabük junction and flag down a bus to Karabük. From Karabük take another minibus to Safranbolu – a long day!
