Karkamış

Karkamış is a small border town in Southeastern Anatolia, noted for being the site of the ancient city of Carchemish.

Get in
As of 2022, due to the ongoing Civil War in Syria, literally just a stones throw from the town, there might be restrictions on travelling here. Karkamış was a station along the Berlin–Baghdad railway, but there has not been any trains operating here since 2011.
