Dear Sue and Richard,
My suggestion is to fly from Istanbul into Kayseri. It is
very far from Istanbul and it is costs approx $95 by air. I
had a travel agent in Urgup by the ticket for me and picked
it up in Istanbul when I arrived. He then had a bus pick me
up at the airport to take me to Ortohisar where I had what I
thought was a room, which in fact was an apartment.I
bypassed Konya and flew to Izmir to go to Selcuk and
Ephesis. There are several different options to staying in
Selcuk. If you have a car there are a couple of places on
the ocean, which is fine if you have a car, or if you travel
by bus in town itself. From then on I traveled by bus. I
never did go to Eastern Anatolia so I can not help you
there. I took the bus to Fethiye which I liked, I preferred
Kas to Kalkan, it is a small very pretty town with many
wonderful sites around it. To see the sunken city don't rent
kayaks, you see it much better from a boat. Next visit for
me will be the Black Sea coast. The Turks are really crazy
drivers, they have the highest statistic of fatal traffic
accidents. Yet I have friends who rented and drove cars with
no incidents. I didn't want to since I was traveling by
myself. I will send you my address list and suggestions back
channel since it is pretty long.
