Experience Kars' stone architecture and railway views all in one journey.
The stone city architecture of Kars and the railway landscapes of the Eastern Express line come together in a five-day journey. The synchronization of flight and train times with connections from departure points in the Aegean region to Izmir Airport is a key part of the plan.
Train tickets and flight connections are based on the current timetable.
This itinerary outlines the main stops. The final order, departure times and time at each stop are confirmed for your selected date.
Flights depart from points in the Aegean region to Izmir Airport. Time is allocated for a short walk around the city center or sightseeing in the surrounding area; the pace of the day is determined by the flight time.
In Kars city center, stone buildings, squares, and historical neighborhoods can be explored on foot. Allowing free time to sample the region's cuisine and local products will enrich your trip.
The structures and open areas surrounding the Ani Archaeological Site reveal different layers of Kars' history. Appropriate clothing is necessary when outdoors due to wind and temperature variations.
The railway leg of the journey offers views of valleys, mountains, and settlements. Train type, departure point, compartment, and journey time should be finalized based on ticket availability.
After the train arrival, the return to the Aegean is completed by flight or land connection. Transfer fees and baggage conditions for connections to Kuşadası, Aydın, Manisa, and Denizli should be checked when tickets are finalized.
With its regular stone facades and wide avenues, the city has a distinct architectural identity.
The open-air area along the border is notable for its medieval structures and expansive steppe landscape.
Train travel makes the journey itself as much a part of the experience as the destination.
