Erzincan

Erzincan is a city in Eastern Anatolia. After suffering from powerful earthquakes (in 1939 which leveled the whole city and most recently in 1992), it has undergone a process of renewal and has become a modern city—Erzincan is one of the most orderly cities in Turkey. The population is approximately 300,000. Many stores and shopping malls can be found in Erzincan.

Getting There
By train

There is a daily train (Doğu Express) from Istanbul. Doğu Express calls at Ankara, too. There is also another daily train from Ankara (Erzurum Express), which is reported to be more comfortable (and also more expensive) than Doğu Express.
