you may not be interested in heading farther east than goreme (my favorite area in turkey, along with istanbul), but i was fascinated by the history of urfa and van. while in central turkey, i always had great luck with the nevshehir bus company.

There's always so many buses leaving at all hours of the day and night from the major bus stations in Turkey, so you won't need to make reservations a long way ahead of time unless you are travelling on a public holiday which can get very busy. The best way is on each stage on your trip and ask the people in the area for bus times and recommendations for your next desitination and most of the time the managers in your hotels or local travel agencies can help you buy the ticket for yuor next bus - this gives you more flexibility in your schedule. Stick to the larger bus companies - many of which have been mentioned here and to larger buses if you have any probs with motion sickness, as many bus drivers fancy themselves as potential rally drivers too!

Hey thanks for the answers. I guess I'm trying to include too many cities in my itinerary?? I basically just added Bergama to the 3 week suggested itinerary of LP. Which cities would you recommend to skip?

Which city to skip?
Depends on your interests off course,...
Besides, I haven't been in all places you want to see...
I would skip Pamukkale.
Olympos isn't the place to hop in and out... I mean... if you like it, you want to stay longer, if you don't like it, it's a waste off time.
I would give Cappadocia an extra day.
