Eastern Turkey
While doing my Erasmus in Istanbul, I got to know many new people. One day I also met some Czechs who invited me on an adventure. I agreed immediately, as it sounded really exciting.
From Trabzon into the East
We flew to eastern Turkey and rented a car in Trabzon. Our plan was to explore various cities and regions, for example the area around Rize, which is known for its green landscapes and tea plantations. We also wanted to travel close to the border with Armenia.
Kars, Erzurum and Unforgettable Encounters
Nature, Food and Unknown Cities
Among other places we visited Kars, Erzurum, and many other interesting locations. We were thrilled by the incredible nature, the friendly people, and the delicious food.
Although many people in eastern Turkey did not speak English, they were always helpful, open, and friendly. Compared to people in Central Europe, I found their openness to be something truly special. I felt very comfortable there.
Overall we truly enjoyed this trip very much.
