Title: Patara
Post by: Jenny1 on February 16, 2010, 21:03:53 PM: Hi
I am coming over in June for 10 days. While I am there I am planning to stay in Kas for 2 days.
I would like to know if there is a dolmus that goes to Patara or would I have to do an organised trip? :)

Post by: Old Daffodil on February 18, 2010, 13:23:03 PM: When you travel from Dalaman the big road that you pick up which takes you to Fethiye and beyond to Antalya etc. is the D400. It's number is on the sign post a lot of the time.

It seems to start at Datca and Mugla then takes you a long way to the east side of Turkey following the coast a lot of the way,although from Fethiye to Antalya it does go across the mountains more.The big roads in Turkey have numbers like the main roads in Britain.

Daffodil,

The D400 follows the coast. It's the D350 that goes over the mountains between Fethiye and Antalya.
