Travel to Altınoluk

Even you have 3 options, I recommend you to find a direct flight to İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) which is only 240 km away from your hotel. You may also fly to Istanbul – Sabiha Gökçen or Atatürk Airport. While at the airport, you can/should exchange some currency. Currency: Turkish national currency named Turkish Lira (TL) and the exchange rate approximately 1 € = (around) 4,7 TL. We recommend you to exchange just about 30 EUR. You might exchange the rest of your money here in Edremit because you can get a better rate here compared to the airport. You should have some Turkish Lira with you because most places don’t accept Euro.

OPTION 1 – From İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB): You should take a bus (line 204) to go to İzmir Bus Station. When you are in the Bus Station (Otogar), the recommended-best choice company is PamukkaleKamil Koç to drive to Altınoluk. Because there is a direct bus from İzmir to Altınoluk. (And the price is around 40 TL). It takes around 4-5 hours by bus. (if you have a direct flight to İzmir it is OK…otherwise I will NOT recommend this option, if you select this one please just ask me!!!! then buy your tickets) EUROPEAN YOUTH MEETS in ANTANDROS – 27 April – 2 May 2018 in Altınoluk Turkey
