Train tickets are sold at many travel agencies and at the main station (Istasyon or Gar). Special rates are offered to teachers. You may benefit from this discount if you show your ID.

Even though the main train station is within walking distance, it might be difficult to do so with luggage. For more detailed information, visit the Turkish State Railway's website at
