Rating

Rail travel between Balikoy and Ankara offers a direct link into the city center, avoiding the traffic often found on Turkish highways. Buses are frequent but can be subject to delays on mountain roads; planes are not a direct option for this specific town-to-city pair as Balikoy lacks an airport. The train provides much more space per passenger compared to intercity buses, making it the preferred mode for those prioritizing space and scenery.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
