What to do in Kars : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants
City of Turkey, Kars has a particularly harsh environment due to its high altitude. Influenced by many cultures, Russian, Turkish, Armenian and Caucasian, who crossed its history over the centuries, its diverse architecture is reflected in very different buildings.
You admire its 13th century castle, the Church of the Apostles of the 10th century converted into a mosque today, but especially the archaeological site of ANI, the ancient capital of Armenia, situated on the Silk Road, in wild landscapes and sublime, forty kilometers from the city, which remains some religious buildings such as the Church of the Redeemer from the 11th century, the cathedral of the 10th century, or fortress, whose windows open onto a breathtaking panorama.
You will find some hotels in Kars, but a day probably will be enough to go around the city.
