Many languages are spoken in Turkey, such: as Greek, Armenian, Kurdish, Arabic and their official language, Turkish.

Travelers that come from Western Europe are not required to have a visa, except those coming from the UK.

This is done by those who are driven by the romantic notion of traveling by train, made famous by the movie the Orient Express.
