In reply to Brett Kennon. Konya Mavi is a overnight train between Konya and Izmir. Train will most probably start by June, but not clear yet. Most of the trains are not running due to covid for now.
Good afternoon! Could you help with with the question below? I am a foreign citizen and I have foreign ID (international passport) which has expired on date. I have to travel from Istanbul to Ankara to the embassy to change the passport. Can I use HST system and just buy ticket using my HES code? Thank you in advance!
In reply to Anonymous. I have to go to Istanbul from Batumi also, but to get to the train in Kars I cant find any buses once I cross the Turkish border if I take a bus from Batumi to border whatever bus that is.

Excellent place to start
Amasya was a lovely town in north of Turkey, excellent place to start the journey. The train coming through valley from Samsun took the passengers enjoying the tea garden next to station under trees.
