A tough but equally impressive Anatolian adventure in the shadow of high-altitude mountains. The Erzurum, Kars, and Ishak Pasha Palace Eastern Anatolia route fits the legends of the east and the magnificent architectural structures shaped by its harsh climate into 6 days. After visiting Erzurum’s symbol, the Twin Minaret Madrasah and Yakutiye, and storing energy with cağ kebab, we set off for Kars under the snow (or lush green in summer). A carriage ride on Lake Çıldır, historical depth in the UNESCO heritage Ani Ruins, and then the Doğubayazıt Ishak Pasha Palace, standing as if out of a fairy tale on the foothills of Mount Ararat… This great eastern corridor is one of the most glorious road-trip routes you can take with your own vehicle. Thanks to the detailed map in the Gezirota application, you can create the safest and fastest way between these distant locations in seconds.
This unique route starting in the South region includes wonderful stops like Sauðárkrókur, Tjaldsvæðið á Sauðárkróki, 1238: The Battle of Iceland, Sauðárkrókskirkja.
