Rail travel between Erzurum and Sivas is preferred for its scenery and the ability to move around during the long journey. Buses are more frequent and slightly faster, taking about 6-7 hours, but they offer less space. There are no direct commercial flights between these two cities, meaning air travel requires a connection in Istanbul or Ankara, making it more expensive and time-consuming than the direct train or bus.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
