A similar activity can be arranged for larger groups to ride in the carriages of a vintage train. The theme of this activity is based on passengers taking the "Orient Express" from a railway station located about 10 km outside of Istanbul and arriving, some time later, at the Sirkeci Railway Station within Istanbul. Serkeci is the original station where the Orient Express arrived back home in Europe. The station will be specially prepared for your arrival, with an orchestra playing, and vendors and bystanders dressed in costumes in keeping with the period.
