Konya is
served by bus, train and plane.
Bus
Several companies run buses
to Konya from
many other Turkish cities, including Aksaray, Ankara, Antalya,
Isparta & Egirdir, Istanbul and
Nevsehir (Cappadocia).
Here are estimated
travel times.
It's best if you
can reserve your seat a day
or so in advance (ask your
hotel to telephone for you), but if
not, just go to the bus station and
you'll probably be
on your
way comfortably to Konya in an hour
or two.
For example, five
companies run buses on the
663-km (412-mi), 10-hour trip between
Istanbul and Konya.

There are even more frequent buses
between Ankara and Konya (260 km/162
miles, 3.5 hours). (More distances and travel times below.)
Train
The Meram
Ekspresi (Meram Express)
is the comfortable daily all-sleeping-car train
between Istanbul (Haydarpasa) and
Konya—my favorite way to travel.

The Toros
Ekspresi (Taurus
Express) is the three-days-a-week
alternative, hauling one sleeping
car, two couchette
cars, and Pullman and
seating-compartment cars between Istanbul (Haydarpasa)
and Konya. More...
There's also the Iç Anadolu
Mavi Tren (Inner
Anatolia Blue Train), a night train
between Istanbul (Haydarpasa)
and Konya with
one sleeping
car and Pullman cars.

Plane
Turkish
Airlines has morning and evening
flights each day between Istanbul and
Konya. Atlasjet and
Onur
Air fly to Konya as well.
