How it works
No matter where around the circuit you are staying, the Fez Bus can pick you up every 2nd day at any of our designated pick up points. When you stop at a designated overnight stop (e.g. Gallipoli) you can depart with the same bus to do the next sector the following day. If however, you want to stay longer, then wait for the next bus to come through.
As long as you tell us on the bus, which bus you want to board next - your seat is guaranteed!!
If you don't know when you want to be picked up, no problem, you can call our toll-free number and book via our head office. All bookings not made on the Fez Bus however, must be made at least 48 hours beforehand to guarantee a seat. Otherwise your travel on the Fez bus will be on a standby basis and will be dependant upon availability.
Your pass is valid all season, but you can only do each sector once e.g. if you have been on the bus from Istanbul to Gallipoli, you are not able to use your pass again for this part of the circuit.
You have a choice of 28 different places on the Fez Bus circuit that you can hop on or hop off, but remember that our buses have overnight stops at the following places to give our drivers and tour leaders a well deserved rest: -
The Fez Bus is a door to door travel network and nearly all the designated stops in each town are at our specially selected and recommended accommodation points. We try to find the best value budget accommodation point in each town, but if budget is not your preference, then your on-board tour leader can just as easily arrange 3, 4 or 5 star accommodation and you can hop off and hop on at that door instead.
Though if you have a friend in town or somewhere special you want to stay, than that is ok as well because the Fez Bus is all about flexibility, you can stay anywhere you want, you just need to make your way from and to the pick up point for your next departure.

** - Public Bus departure times may vary throughout season. Travel planning
You may find our travel planner at Fez Bus Travel Planner helpful in planning your trip.
Remember to check your departure times as well as your departure date. Some of our departure times have been organised to allow you enough time to see the major attractions of the area, without the need to stay extra nights. For example our departure from Olympos is not till 13:00, allowing you the whole morning to experience the beach and it surrounding ruins.
Also don't forget that our last sector is an overnight bus, saving you time and money.
If you are sailing on a gulet, then consider the gulet departure dates when planning your trip. You may not necessarily be able to depart on your gulet trip the day after you arrive in Fethiye.
In the following example, the Fez Bus arrives in Fethiye on the Thursday July 8, however, the next 'Mediterranean Dreaming' gulet departure is not until Saturday July 10, finishing on the Tuesday July 13. So you would need to spend a full day in Fethiye before your cruise departs. Not really a problem as there is plenty to do. Why not try paragliding (Oludeniz is the best place in the world) or diving, just ask your on-board tour leader as they can arrange everything for you. Your cruise will finish in Olympos in the late afternoon of Tuesday July 13. In this case, the next Fez bus to depart from Olympos is Bus No. 5 on Wednesday July 14, so you will have a night in Olympos to check out the flames of Chimera if you want.
Please Note:-
Your departure date AND departure point MUST be advised to Fez at least 48 hours before departure and may be amended any time up until 48 hours before departure.
