SIVAS - DİVRİĞİ - JOURNEY WITH EASTERN EXPRESS - KARS - LAKE ÇILDIR - CAUCASIAN NIGHT
KARS - FETHİYE MOSQUE - KARS CASTLE - NAMIK KEMAL HOUSE
Our tour; begins by meeting our guests who will arrive at the airport on their own at the AJet Airlines counter at 08.30. After passing through security, we fly to our border city Kars with the 10.30 AJet Airlines flight from Ankara. We start exploring the city with our vehicle that meets us there. Our first stop will be the Fethiye Mosque, which was built by the Russians in the late 19th century as a church in the Baltic architectural style and converted into a mosque in 1985. Afterwards, we move to the Church of the Apostles (Kümbet Mosque), built at the foot of Kars Castle. After examining this structure where we can see the Armenian-Georgian architectural style, we take a walk through the streets of Kars. During our exploration in the land of "Ashiks" (bards), flavors such as honey, kashar cheese, gruyere cheese, piti, hangel, kete, goose meat, and yellow fish will encourage us to become gourmets. We see the Stone Bridge, which has survived from the Roman period and is still in use, and the Historical Bath, and we get the opportunity to photograph the city panoramically from Kars Castle, which is called the central castle or inner castle today. While walking among the structures where we can see the reflection of all the subtleties of Russian architecture, we forget that we are in Turkey. We see the house where our famous poet Namık Kemal lived for a period and move to our hotel.
