Eastern Express Train Trip

Turkey offers a wide range of options when it comes to selecting the best tour style for you. In the past ten years, train trips in Turkey have started to become a popular alternative for many tourists. Turkey's train tours are growing in popularity for a variety of factors, including affordable prices and excellent service.

The Eastern Express (Dou Ekspresi), which runs between Ankara and Kars, is Turkey's most well-known train route, and winter is the most popular time to board. The view on this 24-hour train journey is its main attraction, and in the dead of winter, the landscape of high plateaus and craggy mountains that surround northeastern Turkey is totally covered in snow. Although foreign tourists rarely use this train journey, Turkish tourists use it frequently, therefore it is highly recommended to make reservations in advance. It has been common for the train to sell out months in advance. The train excursion ends in Kars, one of Turkey's best destinations for winter activities and attractions because it is the nearest base for trips to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ani and Lake Çıldır.
