We were there last week, definitely more than a small city. That has full of history of more than one countries and unique area to visit. Ani old town is stunning! Specially at May, you can travel there its a perfect time to see green hills and surrounded by beautiful architecture and views. Recommending everyone to visit!
The city and its history was great. Ani was perfect. Especially the Selcuklu Sarayi. And the views was amazing. You have to come here by train ( the orient express) and enjoy the amazing views. You can enjoy the local food at Sini Ev Yemekleri. And yo have to go to the Lake Cildir. Only bad thing about Kars, it's so hard to find a good hotel here. There are so few.
Be ready for the extreme cold (minus 26 in winter). We visited Lake Cildir but it was not as nice as we expected. And the restaurant we had fish at the lake charged a lot of money and fish was not even delicious (lake fish). Tourist trap... Walking in the streets of Kars is more interesting.. Ancient landmark Ani is a nice place to see.
Kars is a good starting point for travelling in the region (the vestiges of Ani and other old Armenian and Georgian churches and castles, impressive landscapes, skiing in winter). The city itself is small but lifely and multicultural with a good archeological museum and several historical sites and many buildings from the Russian period.
Main spots are Castle, Fethiye cami. Ordu street (all Baltic architecture), Çıldır Lake, Ani Ruins, Sarıkamış Ski Slope. Restaurants are Kamer, Düşler Yolculuğu, Kazevi, Hanı Hanedan. Buy Kars cheese, gravier cheese, organic honey (Karakovan). Getting around is very easy and convenient by car. Better rent a car. Local people are very friendly and helpful.
“The hotel was located at a very beautiful site, with a river flowing and the castle up on the hill above the green trees. The hotel building itself was built by Tsar Nikolay of Russia for his Empress in 1879, which made the stay much more outstanding. I enjoyed staying at this hotel, its outside space and its staff. I would certainly recommend staying there for anyone who would like to stay in somewhere special, in Kars, Turkey.”
“The stuffs are so warm and dedicated to their job. Also they are so helpful about everything about Kars. We re there with mom, dad and sister and glad to be there. Breakfasts are awesome, Şencan teyze made them all by herself, also young man helping us at breakfast and they are so debonair. Thank you, for all of good memories about kars and hotel :)”
“The location of the hotel is great. It's in a walking distance from the train station. The staff was helpful and they help us to rent a car and get a taxi to the airport.”
“We were 3 friends staying in 1 room. Room was large enough for 3 people. Everything at the hotel was clean. Staff were helpful and polite whenever we needed. Location was perfect, just 5 minutes from Castle and other historic places and at the city center where the banks, restaurants located.”
“The breakfast is excellent with local specialties (cheese, honey, bread, dried and preserved fruits etc.) with a very nice service. The bed was large and very comfortable, the bathroom modern with nice materials. A surprise boutique hotel among the usually rather average turkish hotels.”
