In my two
previous articles I wrote about Van
and Dogubeyazit/Agri
Now we
reached our third and last stop, Erzurum.
Erzurum has always been an important city
from Armenians to Byzantine, Seljuks to
Ottomans. Nowadays
this historical city is well-known for its winter sports in Turkey. As it is
situated 1757 meters above sea level, skiing the most popular activity for
local tourists.
When we were
in Erzurum, the winter seasons had just closed. There were no many tourist and
prices of the hotels were below average. So we decided to stay in a hotel (Renaissance Polat Erzurum Hotel) close
to Palandoken Mountain ski routes.
It was a nice hotel, but if you have no car it may not be comfortable to visit
the city. If you visit Erzurum during winter time and would like to ski, there
are chairlifts in the courtyard of the hotel.
