Surrounded by mountains.

Cifte minareli Medrese

Erzurum is a pretty small city, but the highest in Turkey. Most of the city is easily reached on foot. Due to the high altitude and cold, there are not much vegetables grown in the region, so the traditional food is meat.

Not prepared for the altitude or cold, I ‘booked’ into the Polat hotel near the train terminal. My little camper will have to wait another day for company at night.
