Antalya Travel Forum

Hi,

I am travelling with my wife and 2 children to Alanya this summer and am thinking of taking a bus trip to Beirut while in Alanya. Does anyone know if there is a bus leaving from Antalaya to Beirut or Alanya to Beirut?

Cheers

Hi, no there is no bus to Beyrut.You'll have to take a bus to Antakya, from where there are taxis and buses to Aleppo(syria).It's a very long way as you'll have to cross Syria.

There is no direct line to Beirut from Alanya. You must take the bus to Adana from Alanya. In Adana you must ask at the main bus terminal. In Adana you can find busses to Haleppo.(Halep. or Sham (Damascus) You must ask at Syrian forum of VT if they have bus to Beirut.

Has turism bus company goes to Haleppo and Sham from Antakya daily two time
09:30 and 12:00

dont do it.Do not use Alanya-Mersin-Antakya Road.it takes 14 hours just from Antalya to Antakya.

I recommend to you Take a cheap fligth from Antalya to Istanbul and take Istanbul-Beirout fligth.Because bus will be nigthmare with the kids for hours.

They will get bored in bus.Also you can do it with train.If you want to do it cheap get train and reach Damascus from Turkey.

I think nearest and best way to reach railway network from Kütahya and by train you can reach to damascus.From damascus to Beirout about 3 hours.
