SIVAS - DIVRIGI - JOURNEY WITH THE EASTERN EXPRESS - KARS - LAKE CILDIR - CAUCASIAN NIGHT
KARS - FETHIYE MOSQUE - KARS CASTLE - NAMIK KEMAL HOUSE - BLOODY REDOUBT
Our tour departs for Sabiha Gökçen Airport with our shuttles from Beylikdüzü Migros Market Front at 04.30, Yenibosna Airport AVM Front at 05.00, Şişli Prontotour Central Office Front at 05.30, and Kadıköy Marriage Office Parking Lot Side at 06.00. Guests arriving at the airport by their own means must be at Sabiha Gökçen Airport by 06.30 at the latest. We complete our check-in procedures for our flight with our ID card or driver's license at the airport. We fly to Kars with the Ajet Istanbul - Kars flight departing at 08.50 after passing through security control. We start exploring the city with our vehicle that meets us here. Our first stop will be the Fethiye Mosque, which was built as a church in the Baltic Architectural style by the Russians in the late 19th century and converted into a mosque in 1985. Then we move to the Apostles' Church (Kümbet Mosque) built at the foot of Kars Castle. After this structure, where we can examine the Armenian-Georgian architectural style, we take a walk in the streets of Kars. During the exploration in the land of "Ashiks," tastes such as honey, kashar cheese, gruyere cheese, piti, hangel, kete, goose meat, yellow fish... will encourage us to become gourmets. We see the Stone Bridge, which has reached from the Roman period to the present and is still in use, and the Historical Bath, and we find the opportunity to photograph the city panoramically from Kars Castle, which is called the central castle or inner castle today. While wandering among the structures where we can see the reflection of all the subtleties of Russian architecture, we forget that we are in Turkey. We visit the house where one of our famous poets, Namık Kemal, lived for a period, and the Bloody Redoubt War History Museum, where ethnographic materials, weapons used in wars, and movable cultural assets documenting our recent history are exhibited. We are completely captivated by the magic of this fantastic city, the rising star of the East in recent times. After our museum tour, we move to our hotel.
