💡 Travel Tips
Peak summer traffic: Travel times along coastal routes (Çeşme, Alaçatı, Kuşadası, Bodrum) can increase by 20–40 minutes during weekends.
Night arrivals: Taxis or private transfers are recommended for safety and comfort.
Shuttle buses (HAVAŞ): Typically slightly longer than private cars due to multiple stops (add ~15–20 min).
GPS apps: Use Google Maps or Waze to track traffic in real time.
