In the spring of 2013 there was an idea to walk on the Lycian trail is located in the south of Turkey. Start gathering information and reading reports. I do not want to order a commercial tour, and go their company and not attached to anything.
We decided on the dates of 7-23 October. Find cheap flights and the collection company. In loukost companies with trouble tickets. To save money were not bought tickets to Antalya, but to Istanbul. The campaign turned into a journey with a visit to Istanbul and Cappadocia. The beginning of autumn.
Charges were in full swing. It picks us up to 5 people ... and it's good). I will not describe all the difficulties fees, take a lot of time and letters. I come October. Ingredients were purchased, assembled kits and backpacks. Tickets have been bought by different companies, two were flying flight Simferopol - Istanbul, two of Kiev - Istanbul, Moscow and one - Antalya. Here is a strange company)) I to the deuce that from Simferopol. The three of us have never nebyli abroad.



Day One.
It is October 7. Departure. Airport "Simferopol" - Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
Istanbul welcomed us with good weather and responsive people.
Currency. To change money at the airport there are exchangers. The approximate exchange rate at the time was USD 1/4 Turkish liras.
Prices / Airport bite. We bought a meal / snack and decided to walk around the neighborhood.



Flights Kiev - Istanbul flew already evening. According to roam the neighborhoods on gazonchik lay down to rest.

In the evening, came two more mountain -puteshestvennikov.



The journey began). In Turkey, there is our usual bus stations. Turkish bus or at the Otogar is a building, which houses offices of a large number of carriers. Select any carrier to drive a big problem



. We get from the airport to the bus station Kadıköy. Intercity buses run mostly at night, which is very convenient because It is not lost on the road during daytime. Buy a ticket and go. But our path lies in the city of Nevsehir.



There we met the fifth member of our journey.
On the way, the bus steward distributes any neshtyachki, tea, coffee, viskarik (included)))) bus stops every 2 hours, for 10-15 minutes. Place for all bus looks like a large shopping center. It can be small things every stint, drink tea (the Turks are sacred) to go "with the wind." At the expense of smoking. Smoke and a lot of everything. I understand that this is due to the fact that they do not drink (religion does not allow) During stops the smoke is karamyslom!

Day Two
"We went riding, and finally did not come ......»
Toward morning people began to go to the bus. Passengers became less and less until we left four))))) Prior to Nevsehir left according to our estimates km. 200. Suitable us steward and begins on the Turkish say something. Some -as we understand that he shoots a cigarette. Lighting a cigarette, he goes to the end of the cabin. Sits and smokes)))
After frayed with the driver about the agreement. 5 minutes our bus turned off the "Turkish Highway" on a country road))) starts to creep into all sorts of thoughts that something goes wrong)))) After a while, we come to what - the village. Steward gives us to understand that all arrived. But the memories of what he saw photos of tyrneta tells us that this is not the Nevsehir and even far from the city). The main transport consists of small tractors Fiat and donkeys. In the center of the village is bus. The driver asks us to leave the salon. We go out and parallel tychim him a ticket, which is written in infidel-Nevsehir. From the bus departs colorful mustachioed Turks and starts screaming at us ...... we're at it ...... He does not understand English, we are Turkish (((



We stand shouting at each other, zero sense. One of our watches luggage compartment that the driver did not throw our stuff. The situation is reminiscent of films in which American students travel anywhere, and then it comes pepper ......))))
After a while the crowd of onlookers there was a girl who understands English !!! aliluya)))
She explained to us that it is not comme il faut, to drive an empty bus in this far and we are transplanted into a small minibus (dolmus) and sent to Nevsehir. A bit of resisting, we realized that we have options, we agreed. Ford Transit minibus gouging form with "beautiful" carpets inside. Four guys with huge backpacks somehow got into the car and go. Reaching the Nevsehir we waited another surprise. Bus does not go to Otogar ((((And we are there waiting for our "fifth" !!! dropped us off in the city, drove evaporated.
We stood for a stranger among the city where to go is not clear.

The building Otogar learn that buses go there only in the evening, or need vozvraschatsya in the city and on the shuttle bus to get there. After drinking even he came up to us and offered to local Carpano drive to Goreme "almost" at the price of the bus. We estessno agreed. The taxi driver was very happy because We swallowed.
