Hotels near Kars Airport - KSY, Kars

I came to Kars to see the ancient city remains of Ani. Worth all the effort to get here. Kars also has some interesting sights, a fortress, russian buildings from the 1800s, mosques, old hamans, good restaurants. Found 1 bar and a great barber for haircutting

weather was good. Its a nice town to walk round, with some historic buildings such as the castle and some good value cafes and restaurants. The best thing about Kars isthe journey to it, but its not a town with tumble weed blowing through it. It doesn't have anything spectacuar in it, but you do have the sense that you are at the end of Turkey, which you are

Underrated city in the edge of Anatolia. The place offers great unique cuisine and delicious local products. Also, great opportunities for visiting important historical and natural sites. Recommended to do the trip to Kars by the Dogu Express train from Ankara, which is a great experience in itself.

Kars is a fascinating town with an interesting history and beautiful location. In places it is very dirty and dilapidated, with buildings crumbling and empty spaces where they have collapsed or been demolished. However, there seems to be a good deal of restoration work going on and the area around the castle and the main historical buildings has been developed and is clean and pleasant. It is worth making a visit to the ruins of Ani, the ancient Armenian capital, right on the border with present-day Armenia. Very beautiful and atmospheric. A local bus goes there once a day, leaving from very close to the hotel.

Kars is a gem in the East that many should visit. It has access to other countries like Armenia, Georgia. Living standard here is much lower than Istanbul. I will spend more time here if given another chance to visit Turkey I had my hammam here for only 110 TL, which also included massage. You can never find this in Istanbul

Traveling by train to Kars might not have been the best option although an experience. Attractions like Ani are a distance away, use the little bus, taxi's will rip you off. The bus driver however will not sell you a 1 way ticket. At the current price 30 TRY each way, is well worth it. You will however only have 2 hours to explore, but that is sufficient. The food choices are exactly the same as the rest of Turkey, Doner, Iskendar, etc. Very important point, you can get a bus in the city and do not have to go to the Otogar outside of town.
