Anadolu Dostluk Rally Launches Across Turkey with TÜVTÜRK Support

The inaugural Anadolu Dostluk Rally, organized with the backing of TÜVTÜRK, will run from 2 – 12 August. The route begins in Istanbul and finishes in Ankara, passing through eleven cities – Çanakkale, Akçay, Efes, Bodrum, Pamukkale, Olimpos, Konya, Niğde, Kapadokya, Aksaray – to showcase Turkey’s cultural, historic and natural heritage.

In addition to cultural exploration, the rally incorporates a "Goodwill Stops" programme that partners with local authorities to deliver aid to identified people in need, thereby linking travel with social responsibility. TÜVTÜRK will also promote road‑safety awareness, emphasizing regular vehicle inspections and safe‑driving practices throughout the journey.
