Train from Istanbul To Izmit and back

We are traveling to Istanbul, Turkey next month and we would like to take a day to visit Izmit.

With that plan in mind what we would like to do is travel from Istanbul (european side) to Izmit in the morning ~7am and return in the evening ~9pm.

Can you tell me how we can make this journey, preferably by train and where can we buy tickets from and what the approximate price is?

Best Answer

I have just check it online and seen that you can take the train but the only departure location in Istanbul seems Pendik (in Asian Side). It might be difficult for you.

As mentioned before, bus is a good alternative solution. Or, there is a company called blablacar.com. If you are not more than 4 I think, you can check the website and find a guy with a private car who can take you to Izmit. It is cheaper than bus tickets. I think you only share the cost of gasoline. I have never used it but heard a lot. You may want to take a look.
