The most irritating thing is that since Antalya and Isparta provinces are separately administered, there is NO BUS that runs the length of the Köprülü Canyon road from Serik to Kesme. There is also NO BUS from Çandir to Antalya (except the Sutculer bus on Mondays and Tuesdays); in fact Çandir is a hell of a place to get to and from.
In addition there are various inter-village dolmuses running especially to serve schools and markets. If you find any information on these, let us know.
