Yalova is a small city and for the most part very walkable. In the warm months, Gazi Paşa Caddesi is very popular for strolling with tourists and locals alike. To get to Gazi Paşa Cad. from the İDO terminal, go straight along Atatürk Cad. towards town, and cross directly over the large intersection at Heykel.
Like most small Turkish cities, Yalova has a dolmuş (mini-bus) system. Yalova's dolmuşes are light blue and run from the most important sites in the city, primarily along Atatürk Caddesi and Fatih Caddesi. Noteworthy stops include: Yalova Otogar (bus station), İDO (ferry terminal), Heykel (merkez/city center), and Termal. Stops can be requested at any time directly from the driver. Dolmuş-riding costs 1.50 TL (in Turkish bir buçuk, "one and a half") to most destinations, although from the city center it costs 2.50 TL (iki buçuk) to ride to Termal.
Taxis are also readily available, especially from the İDO station.
