 Bunks on the Anadolu Express Since the girls are here, we wanted to take them to Istanbul. We’ve heard numerous people tell us about the night train and what a great deal it was, 60 TL. each way; getting into the city in the morning, so you don’t have to pay for another night’s hotel or [... The Two Largest Cities by Night Train]  Hair Museum, Avanos I’m not above stopping to gawk at the crazy promotions shop owners have invented to attract customers.
