KONYA INFORMATION:

There is Konya Airport so, you can come to Konya with a transfer flight from Istanbul both from Ataturk Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport . There are three flight companies: (www.thy.com), Pegasus (flypgs.com) and Anadolu Jet(www.anadolujet.com)

If you fly to Ankara, it will be a bit complex to reach Konya. You should come to Konya by fast train FROM Ankara RAİLWAY. (2 hours away and 25 TL per person:8E) For getting the train tickets you should write me before because online ticket is a bit problematic for you so you need a help from us.

Konya is 3-4 hours away by car from Cappadocia Region and Antalya. It is just in the middle of these marvellous touristic destinations. You may rent a car if you want to visit these places).
