London to India: Istanbul to Iran route tips?
Hi
I am on my way from London to India. I am currently in Istanbul and will head East in a couple of days. I don't want to take too long to get across the border as winter is approaching, so I'm basically heading straight east.
This is a skeleton plan with some gaps that I would be grateful for some advice on.
Istanbul to Amasya with overnight I think in Ilgaz or somewhere else if someone has a recommendation. It's too far to do in one day, for me anyway. I'll stay in Amasya for one or two nights. Does anhone know how high the road passes through this area?
Amasya to Erzerum with overnight somewhere along the way - any recommendations? I'm trying to keep the riding to 4-5 hours max. plus stops.
Erzerum to Dogubayazit perhaps with a detour to Kars to see Ani if I have time.
Any tips on accommodation is these places is also welcome.
And please get in touch if you are also doing this route so we can try and hook up and swap war stories.
Thanks.
Benj
