A ticket for the Dogu Express from the Turkish capital to the Armenian border costs the equivalent of six euros, but on the black market you can pay up to 100, because the journey on the nostalgic train 1310 km across Turkey has cult status, especially among Youtubers. In times of cheap airlines and high-speed trains, the average speed of 70 km/h seems downright anachronistic. 24 hours of deceleration - there is plenty of time for Instagram photos, hilarious parties and home-cooked meals on the gas cooker while the Dogu Express crosses the breathtaking landscape.
