Today I'm showing you why THIS country has Europe's most underrated rail network, as I take you with me on my 450km journey from Istanbul to Ankara in business class on Turkey's excellent new high-speed train.

This was my first trip on Turkey's YHT and I was so impressed. If you are planning your own solo travel trip to Türkiye or looking to go backpacking there, I can't recommend it enough :)
