Back On Board The Turistik Dogu Ekspresi
Aboard the train once more, we trundle back westwards again, visiting Divriği’s amazing Ulu Camii and hospital and wonderful Sivas before spending our final day in Ankara itself and paying our respects to Atatürk at the Anitkabir, his mausoleum at the heart of the capital.

Kars. The Colder The Weather, The Warmer The People.
Bundled up against the bitter weather, we spend three days in Kars, visiting the haunting ruins of Ani right on the border with Armenia and taking a troika ride on the very firmly frozen Lake Çildir. Lordy, was it cold!

All Aboard the Turistik Dogu Ekspresi To Kars
Join us on an epic 1300km railway journey eastwards right across Turkey to the thoroughly frozen town of Kars, stopping on the way to visit some wonderful places. Except Erzincan, where the train rumbled off. We were not on it!
