"My unique exprerience of The Eastern Express was unforgettable. The Eastern Express (originally Orient Express) is an overnight passenger train operated by the Turkish State Railways. The train runs all the way from Ankara to Kars, spanning a distance of 1,310 km. The Eastern Express stops in 7 provincial capitals: Ankara, Kırıkkale, Kayseri, Sivas, Erzincan, Erzurum and Kars. It was magical for me to travel by train and to pass through all these provincial cities in eastern Anatolia, which made me appreciate Turkey's diverse cultural gems in a deeper way."
