Istanbul by bus - which is best one?

[Gill]

We are planning to "pop" up to Istanbul at the beginning of August and want to try the bus travel experience (can't see any cheap flights for then) but which is the best company?

In Yalikavak we see the Ulusoy, Varan, Metro and Kamil Koc buses starting off( I think) - anyone done this trip and how was it?
Thanks
Gill

They're all very good but Varan tend to be a little more luxurious and just a bit more expensive.

I've travelled from Bursa to Kusadasi with Kamil Koc. It was a lovely coach, we got a film and free refreshments.

I've also travelled a few times to Istanbul and back by coach...but that was many years ago. They've come along way since then.
