Eastern Express: A deep journey into Anatolia

Turkey · Trip

Route

Ankara → Kars (1,310 km)

Duration

~24 hours

Best Season

Winter (snow-covered landscapes)

Iconic Moment

Sunrise over frozen Lake Çıldır

One of Turkey’s most popular train routes. Interest has increased via instagram posts in recent years. Tickets sold out months ago. Of course, one of the most important reasons for this interest is to make a comfortable 24-hour journey in Anatolia. The double rooms are no different beside the hotel room. It even has a refrigerator and a sink. Passengers say it is great to watch the steppe and mountain view.
Another important part is the city of Kars of the journey. The city, once the capital of the Caucasus and home to many civilizations and beliefs, is worth seeing with its structures, natural beauty and food culture.
