I am planning to go from istanbul to London with the best comfortable options. It looks like EuRail won\'t stat in istanbul. But I can start from Greece, Bulgaria or any other close by country.
I\'ve read that need to change multiple train. Has anyone had experience thru this way? Are trains good enough? or what would be any other suggestions?

As fare as I know, both Interrail and EUrail are valid in Turkey.
But ordinary discounted tickets may be cheaper
Did the journey (not from London, but Denmark) in the reverse way some years ago (and on to Theran in Iran) - trains are very fine and it is a lovely travel.
If you have time plan some stop-overs on the way...
So yes, just go

Hi OG1973.
Like Kim mentioned already, Eurail is valid in Turkey, see here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail[/u]
Are you non-European citizen? If you live inside Europe, you have to travel by Interrail pass (also valid in Turkey): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail[/u]
Here is an example, how to travel from Istanbul to London by normal point to point tickets: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/istanbul-to-london[/u]
Train tickets in Turkey are cheap, like Kim said as well.
Then from Istanbul to Bucharest by night train. Bucharest to Vienna by night train. Vienna to Cologne by night train. Day train to Brussels. And on by Eurostar to London.
Pete :)
