Travel to Istanbul by train from France/Germany/Rome?
My boyfriend and I are planning a European trip this September and though we haven't decided exactly where we'd like to go, we have some ideas.
One thought is land in London, stay a few days, then perhaps overland to France, maybe a stop in Germany after, even Rome. But I would really like to go back to Istanbul and wonder if there is a convenient way to get there by train (I've flown and it's frankly boring, plus with security and customs etc I think it might not be too much of a time difference).
Obviously we're open to various options regarding starting points, so what do you all think and do you have references (websites would be great)!?

It's a very long train ride and you would have to go through passport control/customs more than once going by train as the train crosses borders. For example, going from Munich to Istanbul by train takes over 39 hours with 2 train changes en route. See: http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml . Starting in Vienna would cut out a train change, but it only saves about 4.5 hours of travel time. If you think flights are boring, wait until you've spend more than a day sitting on a train. There are some places that can be interesting watching the scenery, but a lot of it isn't all that remarkable.

Do you have any idea how far is it to go by train from Germany to Istambul?... Especially with the trains here!
it's like 27 hours.
