Sivas Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Land

Bus

Bus services from Sivas aren’t all that frequent, so you may want to book ahead at one of the ticket offices in town. There are fairly regular services to Amasya (€11, 3½ hours), Ankara (€17, six hours), Diyarbakır (€17, eight hours), Erzurum (€17, seven hours), İstanbul (€28, 13 hours), Kayseri (€8.50, three hours), Malatya (€11, four hours), Samsun (€14, six hours) and Tokat (€5.60, 1½ hours).

‘Yenişehir–Terminal’ dolmuşes (€0.30) pass the otogar and end their run just uphill from the Paşa Camii, a five-minute walk from Hükümet Meydanı or the budget hotels on Kurşunlu Caddesi.

Train

Sivas station (221 7000) is a major rail junction for both east–west and north–south lines. The main east–west express, the Doğu Ekspresi, goes through Sivas to Erzurum and Kars (16 hours) or back to Ankara and İstanbul (22 hours) daily; the Güney Ekspresi (from İstanbul to Diyarbakır) and the Vangölü Ekspresi (from İstanbul to Tatvan) run five times a week. There are also local services to Kangal, Divriği and Amasya.

‘İstasyon’ dolmuşes run from the station to Hükümet Meydanı and the Paşa Camii.
