Artvin

A compact town in northeastern Turkey's mountains, Artvin sits on a hill above the Çoruh River with a centre concentrated enough for easy walking between cafés and restaurants. The surrounding terrain draws visitors for hiking, kayaking, and skiing, and the Çoruh valley has served as a regional crossroads since the medieval period, when the area formed part of the Georgian region of Klarjeti.
