After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we begin exploring Kars, which is noted for its stone structures built during the Russian administration. First we visit Kars Castle, the Kümbet Mosque (Church of the 12 Apostles) and the Kars Taşköprü. We see the house where our famous poet Namık Kemal once lived, and at the Namık Kemal House of Culture we listen to âşık (minstrel) contests, getting the chance to closely experience this important cultural tradition.
Afterwards we give free time to explore the streets of Kars. During this time, guests who wish may shop for Kars' famous cheeses and local honey. After the free time we visit the Yemen Coffeehouse and photograph its historic ceiling decorated with angel figures. Then we see the Gazi Ahmet Muhtar Pasha Mansion and visit the Fethiye Mosque, which was built as a church in the Baltic architectural style during the Russian administration and later converted into a mosque.
Our next stop is Çıldır Lake, which captivates visitors with its surface covered in ice during the winter months and its unique scenery. When weather conditions allow, guests who wish may take a pleasant ride on horse-drawn sleighs over the lake, whose surface can be completely covered with ice in winter. Then we eat lunch, where we can taste the delicious local fish caught using the traditional fishing method of breaking the ice on the lake.
Then we arrive at the Ani Archaeological Site, located on the banks of the Arpaçay River, which forms the Turkey-Armenia border. In this unique historical area, which has hosted many civilizations throughout history, we visit the city walls, the Lion Gate, the Great Cathedral, the Illustrated Church, the Seljuk Palace and the Ebu'l Menuçehr Mosque, which is considered the first mosque built by Turks in Anatolia. After the informative presentations, we take our final photographs at Ani, known as the Ephesus of the East, and complete our tour.
Then we return to Kars city center and head to the restaurant where we will have dinner, to taste the local goose meat menu, watch Caucasian dance shows and enjoy a pleasant time.
After dinner and the entertainment program, we regretfully complete our tour and begin our return journey to Kahramanmaraş. With a tradition specific to Kars' cold weather, when weather conditions allow, we leave behind the ice crystals formed by throwing water into the air and set off on the return road with unforgettable memories.
After a journey of approximately 10 hours, we plan to be in Kahramanmaraş at 11:00 in the morning.
See you on another Extra Happiness filled tour...
