Antalya Travelling from Antalya to Damascus
Posted: Mon September 10, 2007 11:11 PM UTC
Hi, I will be in Antalya in October, and would like to travel to Damascus from Antalya.
I have elderly people with me so taking a long coach journey is not my preference. Ideally I would like to fly, but I've been told I can only do this from Istanbul and then it would not be a direct flight to Damascus.
Can anyone tell me how to get to Damascus and back to Antalya the easiest way possible?
Thanks

I hope you will have nice time with your elderly people in Turkey.

my first advice is ;
If you visit www.thy.com.tr you will see the special fares for Ramadan
Application Period:
Travel Dates: 13 September - 11 October 2007 (Include)
Ticketing Dates: Tickets must be issued on/before 11 October 2007 (Incl).

All ticket are 79,00TRY from everywhere in Turkey.So also there is a discount for
international fligths too.

15-21 September Damascus 111€ (round trip)
01-07 October Beirout 111€ (round trip)
This is for Istanbul flights.If you fly to ANKARA from Beirout add 50€.

My second advice is come to Adana by bus from Damascus and fly to Antalya.

there is direct fligth to Antalya From Adana by http://www.sunexpress.com.tr/

I have checked it there is a promo ticket 29,00TRY to Antalya.

only one airlines (sunexpress) fly directly from adana to antalya.Rest of them fly via Istanbul.

Adana- Antalya road is buy bus worst and longest road in two province of Turkey.It take about 11 hours buy bus.

For more info please e-mail me.
