Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 24 days ago
TL;DR
Turkish toll roads require an HGS sticker (electronic tag), which you can buy and top up with cash. The stretch near Mersin is free — use it to save money and enjoy better scenery.

A group of three was offered an evening deal for 40 euros by street vendors — locals consider this a fair price.

Take the free road section near Mersin — it's short, and beyond that the highway is free, more scenic, and barely slower. On toll sections, only the HGS electronic sticker is accepted; you can buy and top it up with cash.
