The Alti
Eylül Ekspresi (September
6th Express) between Bandirma and Izmir,
coordinated with the IDO fast
ferry between Bandirma and Istanbul,
allows you to travel between
Istanbul and Izmir via
fast ferry and train in
less than eight hours—about
the same travel time as the bus—but
in greater comfort at a fare similar
to that of the bus trip.
The
pleasant 342-km
(212-mile) train journey through
scenic countryside takes 5-1/4 hours,
the ferry voyage across
the Sea
of Marmara two hours. With the
train-ferry transfer at Bandirma,
total journey time is less
than eight
hours.
Here is the schedule:
This train-and-ferry combination operates
all year, and hauls Pullman
coaches and
a dining car.
The 17
Eylül Ekspresi makes
the same journey later in the day,
arriving late at night, but the ferry
connection may work only from April through October. More...
