The bus, which was making an overnight journey from the capital Ankara to the western city of Bursa, crashed amid good road conditions.
The road was empty and neither wet nor frozen.
The passengers on the bus were mainly families with their children who were going to Bursa to spend the upcoming half-term at the popular Uludag ski resort.
The two drivers, who were both lightly injured, have been detained and prosecutors launched an investigation.
Turkey has a dire road safety record with over a million accidents in 2016 and 7,300 people losing their lives, according to official statistics.
