Hi to all of you,
Starting from this weekend, I'll be travelling in Turky by bus, but I ain't be able to figure out yet the bus services beetween cities.
Names of bus company, time tables a prices would be really halpfull.
I'm looking for the night bus from Goreme to Antalya
day bus from Antalya to Olimpus
bus from Olimpus to Fetiye
bus from Fetiye to Bodrum
bus from Bodrum to Selkuk
and a night bus from Selkuk to Istanbul.
If any fo you can point me to a web site in English (or Franch, Spanish and Italian), I'll be more than happy to pay a drink during my trip!!!
Thanx a lot and have a good time.

Before your departure go to bus station (otogar) of the city/ area and ask around.
There are many bus companies and it is not possible to find timetable for each of them.
Bus system in Turkey is extensive but not as organized as trains.
Metro is a good company but not for short distances like Antalya to Olympos or Olympos to Fethiye.

The intercity bus systems in Turkey is outstanding - lots of choice with bus companies, routes and times, very good buses and very good on-bus service. All towns will have a bus station - in large towns like Ankara and Anatalya they are more like an airport terminal.
The deal usually is when you arrive at a town where you are going to stay for a few days check out timetables for the next leg of your trip and book a ticket if necessary.
The Olympus detour might be a bit tricky as it is about 15 kms (??) off the mian road an you may have to get off the bus and get a local mini bus - other TTs may be able to give you advice.
If you haven't already done so I'd strongly suggest getting the LP guide as it has all this sort of stuff.
