Directly from Vladivostok to Turkey (and therefore to the ski resorts of Uludag and Palandoken), aircraft do not fly - the most convenient in this case will be a connecting flight with a transfer in Moscow, Yekaterinburg or Rostov-on-Don.

To get to Palandoken, you must first fly to Erzurum, you can fly by domestic flights from Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya or Izmir, or by train from Ankara, Istanbul, Sivas, Kars and Kayseri.

By bus, you can get to Erzurum from Istanbul (19 hours!), Ankara (13 hours) or Trabzon (6 hours). The distance from Erzurum to Palandoken is about 4 km, which can be covered in 10 minutes by bus no. G6, every half hour.

There is another option, faster: to get to Palandoken, you need to fly from Vladivostok to Moscow, from there to Yerevan or Gyumri (Armenia), and from there by road for 13 to 14 hours to go directly to the ski resort.

To get to Uludag, it's best to fly to Istanbul, from where you can get to Bursa by air or by bus. From Bursa to Uludag get on minibuses for 40 minutes and cable cars.
