Awful journey. Third time on coach in Turkey and this was the worst one. The coach left station late and we were supposed to reach Istanbul by 3/3.30pm but arrived at 4.30. The coach seats were really uncomfortable and rattlesnake the way making me extremely travel sick toothed point I nearly threw up. I could rest my head due to this. They did offer snacks and a drink which was good. There was also no air coming in and I was very hot throughout the journey. Wi-Fi was advertised when booking fall all the coaches and there never is any! So this is a lie. The screens also didn't work.
