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. (More...) 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. More...

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. More...

Plane
