Hello all.
We will have some time in Istanbul prior to joining the Best of Turkey tour, and we are thinking of taking a bus to Edirne. It is a bit difficult to find Turkish bus schedules online, however. Does anyone know if buses from Istanbul to Edirne run 7 days a week? Or, better yet, where I can find this info in English? :)
Thanks,
Scott
I found bus options on Rome2Rio between Istanbul and Edirne. The website for the bus company is available in English.
Tickets are currently available through the end of March for TL 250:

Thanks CWSocial! Yeah we'd seen that website before, Metro Tourizm, but when we searched around the time of our trip, mid-April, nothing showed up. Turns out, like you point out, their schedule just doesn't go out that far. Good to know there are lots of time slots that will likely be available. Appreciated.

Glad you've got what you need. Enjoy your trip and the fabulous Best of Turkey tour! I took that tour and Best of Istanbul last May/June and absolutely loved both! You might find more helpful tips in my Trip Report. Enjoy!!
Oh wow. Very in depth. We will definitely take a look. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply, CWSocial! I really enjoyed your entries as a preview to our tour, and the travel tips and practical info are super helpful.
Happy travels to Bulgaria in May! We did that tour in June 2022 and had a fantastic time.

Oh very cool. You might have been in Bulgaria while I was in Turkey!
I've since started a new thread which is common questions for people who are going on one of the Turkey tours.
Maybe you'll have some of the same questions, and feel free to post any others that come to mind.
