The 'Fez Bus’ Turkish Express pass is a great option if you are short on time. It cuts out Sections 3 - 6 which cover the south coast of Turkey but still crams in plenty of top spots in Sections 1,2,and 7. You can start anywhere on the circuit, do the full loop and finish back where you started. This pass is valid all season from 01 July to 8 October, you could even do part of the loop on one trip and then fly back later in the season to complete the rest if you'd like! The minimum time needed to complete pass is 6 days but we really do recommend you give yourself longer to get the most out of your adventure!
We drive along the coast of the Sea of Marmara. There is an optional guided tour of the WW1 Gallipoli battlefields, the site of the ill-fated ANZAC campaign, explore the trenches, battlefields and poignant memorials. Or time to explore Cannakale.
