Does anyone have any experience and cost of flying from Istanbul to Ankara (and return)? Or alternatives ways of travel via these two cities?

Yes, I travelled from Istanbul to İzmir, and it is about the same price I suppose. But I think it is not that bad to go by bus to Ankara from Istanbul, as there is a well constructed highway. For example, you can go Ankara-Istanbul in about 3 hours by car. Whereas Izmir-Istanbul (according to the map not such a big difference in distance), it would take you about 7 hours at least. Bustrips obviously are a bit longer.

I believe there to be a train too but I am not sure..

I have to say, I drive fast, and I have never made it from Ist to Ankara in 3 hours. I'd say closer to 4 hours. I hate taking the bus, I suggest finding a cheap flight.

Thanks Guys, Are we talking from Sabiha Gökçen or Ataturk airport? Speed will be of the essence, if I decide to visit, as I will want to pack in a lot!!
