Carsamba aksam (Wednesday evening) through Persemba sabah (Thursday morning) we took an Autobus from Istanbul to Antalya. Driving instead of flying was an excellent choice as the scenery was absolutely beautiful and gave me a chance to experience Turkey's country side and villages-which look much like Kansas but with mountains in the background.
The highways in Turkey are mostly one lane, and much to my surprise had very little traffic. Autos, or Abra in Turkish, are very expensive and many do not have them but rather prefer to take the Autobus for long trips. The stops are giant bus terminals with gas stations, not the usual American pit-stops like in America.
The two villages we stopped at were around Izmit and Isparta. The first is famous for a delicious Turkish sweet called pismanye
The other is famous for a spiced meat called socuk.
