Which way we drive
The usual route crosses to the European side of the Dardanelles on the motorway to Tekirdağ and Malkara, and then over the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge to Lapseki. From Çanakkale the road goes south through Ezine and Ayvacık, then down to the coast at Küçükkuyu and along the gulf to Altınoluk.
There is also a route through Bursa and Balıkesir. The driver picks the faster one on the day, depending on traffic around Istanbul. Bridge and motorway tolls are part of the price.
Traffic leaving Istanbul on Friday afternoon and coming back on Sunday evening can add an hour or more in summer. A night or early morning arrival is usually the quickest.
Around Altınoluk
- Küçükkuyu and the stone village of Adatepe, known for olive oil
- Assos and the temple of Athena, about an hour west
- Zeytinli and Akçay, further along the gulf
- Walks to the waterfalls and pools in the Kaz Dağları national park
The price is agreed in advance and covers the whole car, so a family or a small group travels for one fare. The driver stops for food and a break whenever you like.
Istanbul Airport is very large, and the walk from the gate to the arrivals hall can take a while. The driver follows your flight and waits for you at the meeting point, so there is no need to hurry. For the return, plan to leave Altınoluk about eight hours before an international flight, to allow for traffic and the airport.
