Turkey town hopping

Hopping around towns in Turkey is easy and exciting. Driving in Turkey is pretty much the same as in Thailand. The laws and rules are “suggestions”. There are many police check points as you go from one area to another. But the police and everyone in the country are friendly and helpful so there is nothing to really be worried about when traveling around.

Avilik

This is almost the first Adriatic side town south of istanbul. It is where the front license plate fell off the front car plate frame which I didn’t notice was broken when I rented the car. The broken frame showed up on the photos I took before getting in the car at the rental office which saved me the price of replacing the plate. The police stopped me so many times but I explained the issue and even though most of the time language was a barrier they let me drive on. The police in Avilik told me to continue my trip and contacted the rental company and traffic police. They were very helpful.
