Night Bus from Ayvalik to Istanbul

by Annali-Floris Online Now Apr 7, 2012 at 5:44 AM

Hi again to all you helpful VT's! I have asked this question before and got really helpful answers from you, but I still cannot get the web sites in English. We will be 4 people to travel from Ayvalik by night bus to Istanbul on 18 June. Are there a few buses travelling this route by night? What are their schedules and how much does it cost? Please help me out here. Much appreciated.

    Hey, there r busses from Ayvalik to Istanbul, which also run during the night, I would suggest u the brand "Kamil Koc" ... I see now on their site that the departure from Ayvalik is 23:30 pm and arrival Istanbul at 07:30 am, and the ticket fee is 52.- TL per person / per route, which is about 30.- USD for the time being, but unfortunately the web site is TR only, anyway u can check : http://www.kamilkoc.com.tr/default.asp There will be also some local bus companies running from Ayvalik to Istanbul, but besides, the major and reliable Liners are VARAN, ULUSOY, KAMIL KOC, PAMUKKALE etc ... Enjoy ur time in TR ... :)

    Kamil Koc Bus Company is a very good company in Turkey. They have aline at 22:30 also to Istanbul. the price is 57.00 TL not 52.00. 52 TL is if you buy from internet.

    I want to add an interesting idea here. Bus+sea travel.. I do sometimes when i go to Ayvalik from Istanbul and way back. It s not going to be overnight travel. It s also faster too. i have checked IDO for 18th June but seems tickets are not on sale yet. But i m sure it will be on soon (summer season) If u buy also early u can get really very good prices. http://www.ido.com.tr/en/index.cfm Here is detail; Ayvalik to Bandirma by bus 223 km. There are always buses around in Ayvalik reaching to catch seabuses in Ayvalik. So u just need to book the day u arrive to Ayvalik. Bandirma to Yenikapi (Istanbul) by seabus Enjoy your trips all the best

    Thank you for your help. We especially want to travel on the night bus to be in Istanbul for an extra day, instead of wasting the whole day travelling and then have a day less for sight seeing. Does the bus have the same travel hours over weekends (Saturday and Sunday) as week days? On their web site the weekends are in red, so I don't know what that means?
