Turkey has an extensive road network, which is constantly improving but in rural areas is still developing. Highways connecting major cities are well-maintained, but mountainous roads and coastal routes need attention. Overall, driving around Turkey is accessible, with clear signage and a mix of easy highways and secondary roads that require caution.
When planning your road trip in Turkey, consider following tips:
- Weather: Summer is ideal for coastal drives, while spring and autumn offer mild weather for inland and highland areas. Winter may bring snow on mountainous areas.
- Fuel availability: It is reliable with frequent stations on highways and in the cities.
- Distances: Distances between major cities are manageable and scenic natural sites are easy to access.
Renting a car in Turkey is a practical choice which offers full flexibility to visit beaches, countryside regions, historical areas and remote sites at your own pace. We recommend you rent a compact car or an SUV which is suitable for all kinds of terrain.
