Ankara to Izmir (Basmane) Train
The Ankara to Izmir route is primarily serviced by the high-speed YHT (Yüksek Hızlı Tren). This train covers the distance at speeds of up to 250 km/h (155 mph), making the journey in approximately 14 hours. The YHT offers comfortable seating arrangements and essential onboard services, providing a reliable option for travelers. There are limited stops along the route, which allows for a faster transit time, appealing to those looking to minimize travel duration.
An alternative option includes the slower regional trains that connect Ankara and Izmir, taking significantly longer—typically over 15 hours—due to more frequent stops at smaller stations. While these regional services may offer a more leisurely pace through the scenic countryside, they lack the efficiency of the YHT service. Travelers should weigh the cost vs. the duration when selecting between these options.
