How to get from Istanbul Atatürk Airport to Çanakkale?
The usual way to get from Istanbul to Çanakkale is to take a direct bus from the Büyük or the Harem otogar (bus station). That's especially true if you stay somewhere in the "center" of Istanbul. But what if you arrive by plane at Atatürk airport somewhere between 5 PM and 2 AM (exact arrival time not yet known)?
I imagine that one solution would be to take a taxi, shuttle or even public transport to one of the above mentioned bus stations and to proceed from there. But now I wonder if there is no other option from the airport? Aren't there direct buses to Çanakkale leaving from the airport, or nearby? In case of a late arrival you would save some precious time by not having to go to one of the bus stations first.
I am looking for a "public-transport" solution. Taxi rides to bridge shorter distances are okay, but not a private taxi ride for the whole distance.

As naive as it sounds, here is my shot:
Take a taxi from the airport to the Bak?rköy? (it's less then 10 km). From there take a ferry to Yenikap?? (first stop, Istanbul direction, it should be pretty fast) and then take a ferry to Band?rma, which would take about 1 hour 45 minutes. Here is the timetable for this last part.
After arriving to Band?rma take a taxi or minibus to the bus terminal and take a bus to Canakkale. It's about 170 km, 2 to 3 hours.
The Schedule of the 2 most prefered bus companies from Band?rma to Canakkale are as follow;
Canakkale Truva; 11:00 a.m., 14:00, 16:00, 17:45, 18:30, 21:00, 02:00 a.m.
Kamil Koç: 11:00 a.m., 12:00, 14:00, 15:00, 18:00, 20:00, 22:00, 23:45.
If it's doable or not it's up to you, but IT surely is a different way to make this trip :-)
