Rating

Rail travel on the Guney Kurtalan Express offers a more social and scenic experience compared to the long bus rides across central Anatolia. While buses are more frequent, they lack the sleeping facilities found on the train. Flights to Diyarbakir from Ankara or Istanbul are significantly faster but involve airport transit and do not serve the specific rural areas along the rail line. For those valuing the journey itself, the train remains a classic choice.

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