Cifte Minare Madrasa - Twin Minaretted Madrasa
suvanki Says: One of Erzerums most popular landmarks! I visited this sight with a couple of students I'd met during my visit. Founded 1253, by Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad 11 in honour of his daughter Huant Hatun. Entrance is free, opening hours vary!The entrance door is at the front...
suvanki Says: These 3 Seljuk conical tombs (kumbets) are situated in a fenced off enclosure, although you can't enter the tombs, you can wander around their exterior. Sometimes the enclosure is locked, but it is possible to view from the outer fence. The left hand tomb is known as the...

MalenaN Says: Just by Cumhuriyet Caddesi, surrounded by a teagarden, is the Yakutýye Medrese from 1310. It was not built by the Seljuks, as many other buildings in Erzurum, but by the mongols. The Mongols borrowed much from the Seljuk architecture though. The entrane is finely decorated...

Erzurum Old Houses: Great food in an incredible place
Williebobs Says: We thought we had seen everything in Erzurum until we found this place. Eight old houses have been merged together to make the most amazing restaurant. Loads of rooms full of things hanging on the walls. Cosy corners and attics with hundreds of cushions and great food and a...
MalenaN Says: I took a taxi from the hotel to the otogar in Erzurum and for that I paid 4 000 000 TL. There is also a bus, number 2, going to the otogar. But the first time in Erzurum I could not see the bus stop. The journey from Erzurum to Dogubayazit took about 5 hours and it cost 15...
MalenaN Says: Trabzon was my first stop in Turkey so I was not familiar with different bus companies, buying tickets from the offices in town or free service buses to the otogar. So when the day came when I was going to ErzurumI just took a dolmush to the otogar from a place close to...
MalenaN Says: I walked along Cumhuryiet Caddesi to look for the buscompany offices but only saw Palendöken. They don't have buses to Kars but said I had to go to the otogar. It took about 20 minutes to walk there. I asked around and choosed DoguKars which had buses at nine. A ticket is 13...
MalenaN Says: At my hotel I asked from where the dolmush to the otogar leaves. One of the men followed me there. It leaves from Istasyon Caddesi, just opposite Hotel Sefer. Several buses are leaving from here but only number 2 goes to the otogar.Arriving at the otogar it seems like you...
MalenaN Says: As I arrived to Sivas I went to the ticketoffices on Atatýrk Caddesi to buy a ticket for Erzurum, two days ahead. It was not as easy as I thought. I wanted to leave around 8-9 o'clock but it turned out the three offices, next to each other, had buses at 11 o'clock. Okej, so...
Having spent most of my time...
maykal Says: Having spent most of my time in Turkey on the Black Sea coast, it was a bit of a shock to suddenly be in such a conservative city again. The cafes were segregated, and I was turned away at a couple of them because the only free tables were deemed too close to tables occupied...
One day, I decided to visit...
maykal Says: One day, I decided to visit the town of Hasankale, also known as Pasinler. From the guidebook, I was expecting a mountain resort with a hilltop castle, and the best Sulphur baths in Turkey...unfortunately, it was a bit of a disappointment. The castle, while being hilltop,...
The Universal language- Football!
suvanki Says: No matter where I travel, I can't escape the Universal attraction for soccer! Throughout Turkey, I've seen football played, either by teams of men/boys, kitted out, and with a leather ball, playing on a marked pitch, or having an informal kick around on a dry patch of land,...
Williebobs Says: Popped into 'English Land' (they run English speaking courses) to ask directions and then spent a couple of hours there every evening with a group. We're teachers in England and found it entertaining and rewarding. In a couple of days we had unlimited offers of everything we...
