Travel Turkey - Artvin




Artvin: Famous for its High Plateaus. Artvin, located along the Caucasian border of Turkey, is known for its scenic wonders and mild climate. The most beautiful high plateaus of Turkey are in this province. When spring comes, the residents of the region start preparations to migrate to the high plateaus for animal husbandry. “The Migration to the High Plateau” is a tradition carried out in a festive mood. Kafkasör, Bilbilan, Meşeli, Meydancık, Çamlık, Yaylalar and Yarlık are the most famous high plateaus in Artvin. The Kafkasör Culture and Art Festival is held every summer on the Kafkasör High Plateau. The Çoruh River, the most important river in the province, is ideal for rafting because it is the most rapidly flowing river in Turkey.
