Choose Your Transport Wisely**:

If driving or taking a bus, ensure that you have your passport ready for the Greece-Turkey border crossing. Be aware of customs regulations and any potential fees.

Timing is Key**:

Allow ample time for transfers, especially if connecting through larger cities. Buses and flights may not always align, so check schedules in advance.
