Konya has an airport and, better still, a high-speed train from Istanbul and Ankara.
Konya Airport (KYA) is 18 kilometres north-east of the centre.
Fly to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Pegasus or Aer Lingus and connect to Konya, or take the high-speed train from Istanbul’s Söğütlüçeşme or Halkalı stations.
Havaş shuttles and taxis run from the airport to the centre in 30 minutes. The high-speed train station is connected to the city by tram.
YHT trains take around five hours from Istanbul and under two from Ankara. Konya is three hours by road from Cappadocia and makes a natural stop between Cappadocia and the coast.
Check entry rules for UK and Irish passports, read getting around Turkey and compare car hire in Konya. Then pick where to stay.
