About the Istanbul – Odesa route

The Istanbul – Odesa bus is the return service from Turkey to the Ukrainian coast. Boarding is at Esenler coach station; the route then heads north-west through Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova and finishes at one of Odesa's coach stations. The corridor is especially popular with shoppers: unlike a flight, the coach imposes far looser baggage limits, so you can bring more back. The journey spans a night on the road and three borders, so the real duration depends on queues at the crossings.
