I want to go to the station directly from the airport?Which is the cheapest way?And can I get the bus ticket to Izmir in the airport?

Answer 1

re-arrange your ticket directly to Izmir.
this way you'll spare yourself from a troubling 9 hours of bus trip

Answer 2

As already sugested, fly to Izmir. See if you can get a flight on Onur Air, Pegasus or Atlas. They have a variety of flight times. Check with a travel agent. You will be more comfortable; you'll save 8 hours of travel time, and you won't be faced with the confusion at the otogar. You will however have to take a bus (costs about 7 lira) or taxi (35 to 42 lira) to Izmir proper from the Izmir airport.

Answer 3

You can take tram from the airport and go to the main bus station by that way which will cost you something like 2 USD. You can get help from information dest at the airport. Unfortunately it is not possible to get bus tickets from the airport. The best way is to do it at the main bus stop. Because there are more than one bus company and you will %100 will find one there. Hope you enjoy your visit. If you need detailed info please do not hesitate to e-mail me. I will try to do my best.

Answer 4

Take a bus (30 minutes).

Do NOT take a cab. The Turkish cabs specialize in ripping off people, esp. tourists.
They ignore the rate, charge special tourist prices (ehem) or claim the meter is not working. They also take the wrong route.

Complete sham and rip off... be on guard if the can takes a circular route
