The heating of the busses was consequently set on tropical temperatures. Turkey introduced a new law about non-smoking about 2 months ago. Now it is forbidden to smoke almost everywhere in public areas. It is really more pleasant now than before. We flew from Holland to Izmir on Air Alfa, a Turkish charter airline.
Prices are so cheap, it's almost unbelievable.
This way it's cheaper to fly to Europe first and than on to Turkey. In The Hague use one of the Turkish agencies in the Schilderswijk near the 'Holland's Spoor' railwaystation. We found hitching quite easy. It never took more than 10 minutes to hitch a ride. Around Antalya we got a lot of rides from tourists in rented vehicles.
