Practicalities

The train station is down by the river, a twenty-minute walk from the bazaar; taxis meet most arrivals and don’t cost more than a couple of dollars. The otogar, essentially a dirt car park, is 400m south of town on the road to Elazığ.

Accommodation in Divriği is pretty poor, with the scruffy Otel Ninni (no phone) one of the only options (25TL), so it’s best to avoid staying the night if you can. Eating options are a little better, especially at Konak on the way up to the mosque, which has citadel views and dishes out the best kahvaltı for miles around (6TL), as well as succulent kebabs.
