TRAIN INFORMATION Timetables, fares etc.
Izmir - Airport - Selcuk - Aydin new trains are started to run in April 2009.
See below the timetable..
An excellent way to travel in Turkey..!
Guidebooks often say that Turkey has a good bus network and that 'buses are faster than trains'. But do you really want to spend 12 hours in a bus..? When you can travel on a comfortable air-conditioned train, with a bed to sleep in in your own room, a restaurant for your meals and space to move around, through fantastic scenery, unspoilt by roadside development..?
Train travel in Turkey can be a wonderful experience, with the best trains now modern and air-conditioned. Sensible travellers will use a train for long distances (for example, Istanbul to Konya, Istanbul to Ankara, Ankara Eskisehir, Istanbul Kars or Pamukkale Istanbul) then a short bus trip where necessary to reach places off the rail network, for example Antalya or Goreme. The first section of a new high-speed Istanbul-Ankara line opened in Autumn 2007, with a 3.5 to 4 hour journey time, soon to be reduced to just 3 hours, beating both road and air. Overnight trains with sleeping-cars, some now air-conditioned, provide a comfortable, romantic and time-effective way to travel between major cities.
The station for Ephesus is Selçuk, 70 km by train from Izmir and 55km from İzmir Airport. It takes about 1 hour 10 minutes. The ruins at Ephesus are walking distance(3km) from the modern town of Selçuk. Online reservation and payment is available at www.tcdd.gov.tr.
