We also remembered the late teacher Ramazan. Rest in peace.

Very poor, not worth the drive up from Van. Water is very dirty, looks and smells like it is mixed with raw sewage, even the locals who venture into it spend a lot of time cleaning their feet with wet tissues. Free entry although parking is 20TL. Accessed by a rickety old bridge which is probably the most thrilling experience for miles, you can see peoples sense of achievement getting to the other side alive without the old rusty cables snapping or the wooden floor giving way!

There is a sign that there is a parking but not that you have to pay for it. The security dude asked us for 10 lira although we stayed about 5 minutes. We paid but there are a lot of parking spots along the way there, don't make the same mistake as we did. Waterfall is beautiful though

The condition of the castle is very poor. There is not any place to visit. Just one part of the walls still stay erected. There is a cefee inside the castle which serves only coffee and tea and the service of cafee is not good enough as well.

Yeniçobandede is a historical stone bridge built in the late 13th century by Emir Coban Salduz, the vizier of the Ilkhanate. Spanning 130 meters, it is located in Koprukoy district and has remained strong over the years. The bridge holds historical significance from the Ilkhanid state's rule in Anatolia and is rumored to have been crossed by Timur and his army on their way to the Battle of Ankara.
The bridge was constructed during the Mongol occupation of Anatolia. Excellent view.

Very beautiful place to visit. There is a road here which is upslope but car will climb uphill without any input from the driver, illusion for sure but still mind boggling.
Now for Hazrat Abdur Rehman Ghazi, he was a great man, may Allah bless his soul, may Allah enable us to follow his good deeds. Ameen.
The mosque next to his grave is very beautiful, outside he mosque the view of Erzurum is extremley picturesque. Once a person goes to Abdur Rehman Ghazi tomb all he is surrounded by is peace.

(Translated by Google) The tomb, which is to the east of the Palandöken Mountain in the south of the city, is frequented by local and foreign tourists. While the municipality's facility provides services at an affordable price, there are picnic areas in the recreation area at the bottom of the tomb. There are hiking trails in the forest area at the top of the mosque. Since it is at the foot of the mountain, they can watch the city and watch a beautiful sunset feast for those who go in the evening, it varies according to the weather. When you go here with your vehicle, you can take your vehicle into neutral gear in the magnetic field and witness the vehicle go by itself.

Dağın eteğinde olması sebebi ile şehri seyretme ve akşam gidenler için güzel bir gün batımı şöleni seyredebilirler, hava durumuna göre değişkenlik gösterir. Buraya aracınızla giderken manyetik alanda aracınızı boş vitese alıp aracın kendi kendine gidişinede şahit olabilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) I definitely recommend you visit the tomb. However, the picnic area is a disgrace, the sinks are neglected, the germ nest is neglected, our people do not appreciate anything, and the beautiful tomb was left neglected due to the indifference of the municipality. If you are going to the tomb, come with ablution because you cannot perform ablution in the sinks. The visiting area is beautiful and the view is wonderful. There is a parking lot at the entrance, but you need to walk a bit. If it is not crowded, you can drive to the tomb. Municipal buses also operate. There are picnic areas, camellias and barbecue areas, but they are not clean and poorly maintained. There is water in the fountain at the entrance, but it is insufficient. It is one of our heritages that needs to be cared for and protected. Please let's keep it clean and value it.

Türbeyi ziyaret etmenizi kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. Ancak piknik alanı rezalet lavabolar mikrop yuvası bakımsız, insanlarımız hiçbirseyin kıymetini bilmiyor, belediyede ilgisiz olunca güzelim türbe bakımsız kalmış. Türbeye gidecekseniz abdest alıp gelin çünkü lavabolarda abdest alınmaz. Ziyaret alanı güzel manzara harika. Girişte otopark var ama biraz yürümenin gerekir, kalabalık değilse türbenin yanına kadar araçla gidebilirsiniz. Belediye otobüsleride çalışıyor. Piknik alanları kamelyalar ve mangal alanları mevcut ama temiz değil ve bakımsız. Su var çeşme girişte ama yetersiz. İlgi ve alaka gösterilmesi gereken, korunması gereken miraslarımızdan. Lütfen temiz tutalım ve kıymet verelim.

(Translated by Google) We visited and saw a quiet and beautiful place. Since it is on a hill, Erzurum is right under your feet. There is a mosque right next to the tomb. Entrance to the tomb is free and there is a two-way entrance for men and women. The tomb inside is a really long tomb. One shudders when one thinks of how tall the ancient people were... They hung a warning sign not to pray inside the tomb. In the article, they directed those who wanted to pray to the mosque right next to the tomb. Even if it is cold and icy, there are warnings to be careful of icicles outside tombs and mosques. Those who will visit in winter, please pay attention to this warning. We did not have any problems with parking, there are parking areas along the road behind the tomb. While you're visiting this tomb, I recommend you try the strange slope just below it. When you turn off your vehicle's ignition and shift your gear to neutral on a hill, the vehicle moves uphill, regardless of whether the direction of your vehicle is up or down. If you want to experience a different and fun moment, you should try it 👍

Gezdik gördük sakin ve güzel bir yer. Tepede olduğu için Erzurum ayaklarınızın altında kalıyor. Türbenin hemen yanında camii var. Türbeye giriş ücretsiz iki taraflı kadın ve erkek giriş bölümü var. İçerideki kabir gerçekten çok uzun bir kabir. Eski insanların boyunun ne kadar uzun olduğunu düşününce insan ürpermiyor değil... Türbenin içerisinde namaz kılınmaması için uyarı yazısı asmışlar. Namaz kılmak isteyenleri türbenin hemen yanındaki camiye yönlendirmişler yazıda. Kılın soğuk ve buzlu olsa gerek türbe ve cami dışında buz sarkıtlarına dikkat edilmesi için uyarılar mevcut. Kışın ziyaret edecekler bu uyarıya lütfen dikkat etsinler. Araç parkı konusunda biz sıkıntı yaşamadık türbenin arkasından geçen yol boyunca park alanları mevcut. Bir de bu türbeye uğramışken hemen aşağısında bulunan tuhaf yokuşu denemenizi tavsiye ederim. Yokuşta aracınızın kontağını kapatıp vitesinizi boşa alınca aracınızın yönü ister yukarı isterse aşağıya bakın araç yokuş yukarı bir şekilde hareket ediyor. Farklı ve eğlenceli bir anı yaşamak isterseniz denemelisiniz 👍

(Translated by Google) Coming to Erzurum without visiting Abdurrahman Gazi is like going on a pilgrimage and not seeing the Masjid al-Nabawi.
It was very convenient to have separate entrance areas for men and women. This system should be implemented in all tombs with suitable conditions.
If visitors arriving by car pay attention to the gaps between vehicles and take care not to obstruct the road, it will be an easier visit for everyone.
There is a picnic area at the bottom of the tomb, which was a nice service of the municipality. Those who have time can relax by bringing the appropriate equipment.
The water of the tomb flows like ice despite the summer heat.
We need to thank those who contributed.
(Original)
Erzurum’a gelip de Abdurrahman Gazi’yi ziyaret etmeden gitmek Hacca gidip Mescidi Nebevi’yi görmeden gelmeye benzer.
Erkek ve kadın giriş yerlerinin ayrı olması çok münasip olmuş. Uygun şartları olan tüm türbelerde bu sistemin uygulanması lazım.
Araçla gelen ziyaretçiler hem araçlar arasındaki boşluklara dikkat eder hem de yolu meşgul etmemeye özen gösterirse herkes için daha kolay bir ziyaret olur.
Türbenin alt kısmında piknik alanı var bu da belediyenin güzel bir hizmeti olmuş. Vakti olanlar uygun malzemelerini götürerek dinlenebilir.
Türbenin suyu da yaz sıcağına rağmen buz gibi akıyor.
Emeği geçenlere teşekkür etmek gerek.

Located in the heart of the city, Three Kümbets is a historical site featuring a collection of medieval stone tombs with distinctive conical roofs. These ancient structures hold immense historical significance and serve as an epitome of Seljuk mausoleum architecture. The information boards available in both English and Turkish offer insights into these remarkable monuments. While entry into the tombs is not permitted, visitors can freely admire and even touch these intriguing examples of architectural craftsmanship.
Nothing very special if you know history well then its worth visiting if not then just good for taking a quick look and pass to other sightseeing places.

The Çifte Minareli Medrese is a 13th century religious school built in the Seljuk style, located in Erzurum. The standout features of the structure are its two towering minarets made of fluted brick with ornate blue tile designs. The main entrance has intricate carvings and leads into a long courtyard with porticoes on either side.
Recomended to visit. Beautiful architecture.

Erzurum Çifte Minareli Madrasa Foundation Works Museum was built in the last quarter of the 13th century. The madrasa was first built during the Saltuklu period, and except for the main iwan, its other parts were demolished and it became the current building during the Ilkhanid period. The madrasa, which was used as "Tophane" for a while and then as "Barracks" by the order of Murad IV, one of the Ottoman sultans, served as Erzurum Museum between 1942 and 1967, and as both a museum and an art exhibition hall for a while. Today, this building is designed as a museum that emphasizes the history of the period of the Foundations and the texture of the city.

This Seljuk architecture is very different from regular Ottoman structures around Türkiye. The differences are clear in patterns and its fascinating that the same people under different empires built such precise carved out stones!
There is many small rooms in ground floor turned to museum. The second floor closed.
The entrance is free.

It is a very essential historical boarding school. Not only were islamic sciences taught here, but astronomy, Phytotherapy, musicotherapy, music, calender and time was studied here. Umfortunately these all valuable studies are only dated before 15th century. Afterwards, this school was gradually formed into a lodges of Sects, and science was abandoned. At the end of the 19th century, the school was almost a ruin. The boarding school is now a museum and was restrored several times in republican era.

Erzurum Ulu Camii, also known as the Grand Mosque, stands as a significant symbol of religious heritage in Erzurum. Dating back to 1179, this mosque showcases the impressive Seljuk architecture and is considered one of the largest in the city. Despite its simple design, it exudes an imposing presence that captivates visitors. The peaceful courtyard invites contemplation and reflection, offering a serene atmosphere for those who visit.
What an amazing experience.
There is something about this mosque that I was so overwhelmed with emotion about the history that must be hidden within the bare walls.
Even though there is no Islamic decorations on the ceilings etc. Feels incredibly serene.

I was a bit disappointed by the lack of colour and Islamic patterns, especially on the ceilings and walls. Also, there was no clear signage with the name and year of construction near the entrance.

Erzurum Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, by Mustafa Pasha, who was an Ottoman statesman who served as the Grand Vizier and also known as "The Conqueror of Cyprus" because of his success during his reign in Cyprus in 1570 (due to the fact that he was a lala for Selim II during his martyrdom). It is an Ottoman work that was commissioned in 1562 when he served as the Beylerbeyi in Erzurum. It is one of the charitable works that Lala Mustafa Pasha had built in various parts of the empire with the wealth he obtained from the campaigns.

Rüstem Paşa Bedesteni (Taşhan) is a historical inn in Erzurum, Turkey, known for its production and sale of Oltu stone and various types of jewelry. This architectural gem was built by Rustem Pasha, the Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent, showcasing Ottoman caravanserai design. Visitors appreciate the beauty of the building and the quality of craftsmanship by local traders.
It is a historical caravanserai that served as a marketplace and trading center during the Ottoman period. Caravanserais were vital hubs for merchants and travelers along trade routes, providing accommodation, storage, and other amenities. Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai is known for its impressive architecture and historical significance in the region.

(Translated by Google) The inn where Oltu stone is manufactured and sold and dozens of types of jewelery are sold. One of the important examples of Ottoman caravanserai architecture. It was built by Rüstem Pasha, the Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent. It is among the must-see places when it comes to Erzurum.
(Original)
Oltu taşının imalat ve satışının yapıldığı, onlarca çeşit mücevheratın satıldığı han. Osmanlı kervansaray mimarisinin önemli örneklerinden birisi. Kanuni Sultan Süleymanın Veziri Rüstem Paşa tarafından yapılmıştır. Erzuruma gelince görülmesi gereken yerler arasında.
Muhammet Erbay — Google review
(Translated by Google) There are only silversmiths in the inn, and all of them sell Oltu stone. Stone from Erzurum is more expensive than imported stone, generally everywhere there is Oltu stone, which they call imported. If you are an ordinary customer, you have no choice but to believe the seller whether the stone is real or not. Because whoever you ask, they all say original.
(Original)
Handa sadece gümüşçüler var, hepsinde de Oltu taşı satılıyor. Erzurumdan çıkan taş ithal taştan daha pahalı, genelde her yerde ithal dedikleri Oltu taşı var. Sıradan bir müşteri iseniz, taşın gercek olup olmadığına dair satıcıya inanmaktan başka çareniz yok. Çünkü kime sorsan hepsi orijinal diyor.

(Translated by Google) The building, which was built as a bedesten, also known as a caravanserai, by Rüstem Pasha in the 16th century, has now become an inn where rosaries, rings, earrings, necklaces and many other jewelry and souvenirs made mainly of oltu stone are sold.
I suggest you research the prices and come here. Even though they are manufacturers, the prices are a little high.
Don't forget to see its courtyard.
(Original)
16. yy’da Rüstem Paşa tarafından bedesten, diğer adıyla kervansaray olarak yapılmış olan yapı, günümüzde ağırlıklı olarak oltu taşından yapılmış tespih, yüzük, küpe, gerdanlık ve birçok takı ve hediyelik eşyanın satıldığı bir han şeklini almıştır.
Fiyatlar konusunda araştırıp gelmenizi öneririm. Üretici olmalarına rağmen fiyatlar biraz yüksek.
Avlusunu da görmeyi ihmal etmeyin.

(Translated by Google) Surrounded by fascinating historical buildings in every corner, one of the masterpieces you must see in Erzurum is the Rüstem Pasha Bedesten, which was built in 1561 by Rüstem Pasha, the grand vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent, and took its name from here. The building, also known as Taşhan due to its thick walls built with cut stones, was designed as a two-storey building around a rectangular courtyard and has 32 rooms.
Rüstem Pasha Bedesten, located on the trade routes and used for accommodation and trade for hundreds of years, was restored to its original form in 1965 and opened to tourism. You can find hundreds of kinds of ornaments made of oltu stone specific to the region in the stone architecture shops inside the caravanserai, where trade continues today, and you can both have a pleasant shopping experience and examine the impressive architecture of the caravanserai.

Kesme taşlarla inşa edilmiş kalın duvarlarından dolayı Taşhan olarak da bilinen yapı, dikdörtgen bir avlu çevresinde iki katlı olarak tasarlanmış ve 32 odaya sahip.
Ticaret yolları üzerinde yer alan, yüzlerce yıl boyunca konaklama ve ticaret amacıyla kullanılan Rüstem Paşa Bedesteni, 1965 yılında aslına uygun olarak restore edilerek turizme kazandırıldı. Günümüzde de ticaretin devam ettiği kervansarayın içerisindeki taş mimarili dükkanlarda bölgeye özgü oltu taşından yapılmış yüzlerce çeşit süs eşyası bulabilir, hem keyifli bir alışveriş yapabilir hem de etkileyici kervansarayın mimarisini inceleyebilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) ERZURUM RUSTEMPAŞA BAZAAR
The building, formerly known as "inn" and today as "bazaar", was built in 1561 by Rüstem Pasha, the grand vizier of the Ottoman ruler Suleiman the Magnificent, and is located at the center of 5 trade routes, including the historical silk and spice routes.
The two-storey historical building, consisting of a rectangular courtyard and rooms lined up behind cloisters made of cut stone, has managed to survive from the Ottoman period to the present day with the decorations made as a result of the restoration it underwent in 1965, attracting the attention of visitors.
In the past, Taşhan was the trade center of the region, providing important services to trade caravans and travelers with its almshouse, masjid, resting place, bazaar shops, and sections where camels, donkeys, oxen, buffalos and horses were tied up. If you happen to be there, be sure to stop by.

ERZURUM RÜSTEMPAŞA ÇARŞISI
Eski ismiyle "han" günümüzde ise "çarşı" olarak bilinen, Osmanlı hükümdarı Kanuni Sultan Süleyman'ın sadrazamı Rüstem Paşa tarafından 1561 yılında inşa edilen yapı, tarihi ipek ve baharat yollarının da yer aldığı 5 ticaret yolunun merkezinde yer alıyor.
Dikdörtgen avlu ve kesme taştan yapılmış revakların arkasına sıralanmış odalardan oluşan iki katlı tarihi yapı, 1965 yılında geçirdiği restorasyon sonucu yapılan süslemelerle Osmanlı'dan günümüze kadar ayakta kalmayı başararak ziyaretçilerin ilgisini çekiyor.
Geçmişte barındırdığı imarethane, mescit, dinlenme yeri, bezirgan dükkanları, deve, eşek, öküz, manda ve atların bağlandığı bölümlerle ticaret kervanları ve yolculara önemli hizmetler sunan Taşhan, bölgenin ticaret merkezi konumunda bulunuyordu. Yolunuz düşerse mutlaka ugrayin.

Yakutia Madrasa is a 14th-century seminary in Erzurum, Turkey that has been converted into a museum showcasing Turkish-Islamic art and culture. Built by the Mongols in 1310, the building features unique variations on Seljuk architecture with intricate geometric, plant and animal motifs on its facade and portal. A highlight of the interior is an impressive mosaic tile work on the southern minaret.
Historical museum. Pretty small, it will take up to 20 minutes. There is some information in English, but local guide is recommended. Cost 12,50 Turkish lira and it is about 1,2 euros. Recommend visiting.

This place wasn't on my list to see but some how I saw the beautiful tower from far away and started walking here. I was amazed by the beauty of it.
Inside you can find artifacts from Seljuks and Ottomans.
Medrese means educational institution. So there classrooms inside, they are now display area for the historical artifacts. The reason the doors are so low is the enter the room bowing for paying respect for the people inside.

Surprising stonework, great motifs and statue if you want to see a great work of art. Especially its minaret.
The masterpiece was built in the 14th century by Hoca Yakut during the reign of Ilkhanids.
It was an academical state during Seljuk and Ottoman Era where scientific and cultural development were applied in accordance with Islamic principles. Various figures carved in stone reliefs and tile arrangements. The Yakutiye Medresesi is worth to visit.

The building is a milestone of the war of independence in early years of Turkish Republic. The building was used as a regional Turkish national congress centre in 1919. Decisions taken at the congress became countrywide.

The Kongre Binası, also known as the Congress Building, is a notable architectural structure located in Erzurum. Constructed in the early 20th century, this building exemplifies a combination of Western architectural influences and traditional Turkish design elements, reflecting the spirit of modernity and political significance of the era.
The façade of Kongre Binası exhibits a symmetrical composition with arched windows, ornamental cornices, and decorative motifs inspired by Turkish tradition. The integration of these elements creates a visually pleasing and balanced structure.
Inside, the building features a spacious and well-designed interior, particularly the main assembly hall. The hall showcases intricate plasterwork, grand chandeliers, and comfortable seating arrangements, creating an atmosphere suited for political gatherings and conferences.
Historically, Kongre Binası played a vital role during the Turkish War of Independence in the early 1920s. It hosted the Erzurum Congress in 1919, a significant event that shaped the future of Turkey and laid the groundwork for the establishment of an independent Turkish state.
Architecturally, Kongre Binası represents an important phase in early 20th-century Turkish architecture. It embodies the country's aspirations for progress, blending modern design elements with traditional Turkish aesthetics, thus reflecting a sense of national identity.
A visit to Kongre Binası offers an opportunity to explore a noteworthy period in Turkish history and witness the architectural evolution of the era. The combination of Western and Turkish architectural styles, the building's interior grandeur, and its historical significance make it an intriguing destination for both history enthusiasts and those interested in architectural heritage. Walking through its halls, one can sense the echoes of the past and appreciate the role it played in shaping Turkey's destiny.

One of the initial meetings of Turkish War of Independence took place in this building. I have visited the building with a tour and I haven't had enough time to see the paintings. Except paintings it takes 15 minutes to visit the building and due to historical significance of the building it was an amazing experience. By the way, the seats aren't the original ones. I thought they are 100 year old seats and I was nervous about damaging them. You should still be careful about it.

Goose bumps due to the importance of the building for the Republic of Turkey. Definitely a must to be at place for all Turkish people.
A very simple concept, the management is poor. It does not reflect the importance of the building and there is a lot more that can be done to improve the experience of visiting a place that Ataturk and all those fellow heroes started rewriting the destiny of the country.

The concept of the museum is "disappointment". It is not worth to see it. Dont try to even think about visiting.
Ethem Yılmaz — Google review
The location is very nice. However ask yourself the question if you want to take the effort to go there as Conference hall, exhibition rooms and library were closed. You can visit the depot and another room as well as the shop.
Personally I was quite disappointed as I missed structure. The 'mask'exhibition was nice but the rest of the display was a mixture of student works, litho's, carpets and pillows. Not something to get extited about.
Working with shamanism all my life, I hoped to find a better connection between the exposed art and the art of healing. Beside a few prints of shahmaran and a few works of art with a little deeper meaning I missed any connection with the story as promoted on their website.

RAID ABU SAFY — Google review
It is not known when and by whom the castle was built for the first time. The castle was repaired at various times. It was repaired during the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. Bayburt Castle, one of the first places the Turks captured in Anatolia, was fortified during the Seljuk Dynasty, the Saltuks and Danishmends. II. During the reign of Tuğrul Shah, the son of Kılıçarslan, who was the administrator of Erzurum, the castle underwent the most extensive and fundamental repair against the threats that may come from the Trabzon Empire.

I think this is one of the overrated places. Maybe is beauty during summer and definitely not in the winter. Whoever wanna visit, please avoid during winter time. It is a bit difficult to get there, hence i join the tour. Is around one hour + away from Trabzon city centre. Spend a day trip also not too bad, unless you have many things to do, then overnight can be an ideal. During winter almost 85% shop is close. But there is theme park and some others things you could do during non winter time. View from the top deck is a bit far, then walking around the lake is pretty. Wanted visit to mosque, but it was close at that time. The cutest things i discover is their cinema beside the lake, however also close during winter. There are many shop, hotel, and restaurant surrounded this lake.

(Translated by Google) Located on the Parma Plateau on the Çaykara-Sultanmurat Road, the Ağaçbaşı Peatland is the largest in Turkey and a real high altitude peatland with all its features. Ağaçbaşı and the surrounding peatlands are a natural heritage that needs to be protected on a world scale, as it is a very rare high altitude bog located in the southernmost part of Europe.
Ağaçbaşı plateau and peatland, within the borders of Trabzon Köprübaşı District, south of Harman hill and between two water basins (Sürmene-Küçükdere) at an altitude of 2000-2100 m. It is located on a plateau with an altitude, high rainfall (annual average 1300-1500 mm), fog and humidity in 2/3 of the summer months, and a sloped, wavy design with a depth of several meters.
The rock at the base of the Ağaçbaşı plateau peatland and its surroundings; It consists of upper cretaceous basalt, andesite lava and proclast structures.
The plateau and surrounding peatlands cover an estimated 35 hectares.
The rich vegetation cover of the area consists of taxa that are rarely detected in Turkey or found nowhere else other than Ağaçbaşı peatland and its surroundings.
What makes the Ağaçbaşı Peat Swamp important is its area size and endemic varieties, as well as the fact that it contains a huge treasure trove of 9,000-year-old information about the ecological and climatic history of the region.
The existing vegetation cover in the area consists of taxa and species that are rare in Turkey or not found anywhere else other than Ağaçbaşı and its surroundings (Barma, Yılanataş etc.). Both the peat and the world-wide rare plant species present on it make it necessary to protect the area as a biological reserve.
Trabzon Parma Plateau Peatland was registered and declared as a "Sensitive Area to be Definitely Protected" as a result of the evaluation of its "potential natural site protection status" by the Presidential Decree No. 1809 published in the Official Gazette dated 25 November 2019.

Çaykara-Sultanmurat Yolu üzerindeki Parma Yaylası‘nda bulunan Ağaçbaşı Turbalığı Türkiye’nin en büyük ve tüm özellikleriyle gerçek bir yüksek rakım turbalığıdır. Ağaçbaşı ve çevresindeki turbalıklar , Avrupa’nın en güneyinde bulunan çok nadir yüksek rakım bataklığı olması nedeni ile dünya ölçeğinde korunması gerekli bir doğal mirastır.
Ağaçbaşı yaylası ve turbalığı, Trabzon Köprübaşı İlçesi sınırlarında , Harman tepenin güneyinde ve iki su havzası (Sürmene-Küçükdere) arasında 2000- 2100 m. rakıma sahip, yüksek yağış alan (yıllık ort 1300-1500mm) ve yaz aylarını 2/3 ünde sisli ve nemli olan ve eğimli, birkaç metre derinliğe sahip dalgalı tasarıma sahip bir platoda bulunur.
Ağaçbaşı yaylası turbalığı ve çevresinin tabanındaki kaya; üst kretase yaşlı bazalt, andezit lav ve proklast yapılardan oluşmuştur
Yayla ve çevresindeki turbalıklar tahminen 35 hektar’lık kısmı kaplar.
Alanın varlıklı nebat örtüsü Türkiye’ de seyrek tespit edilen ya da Ağaçbaşı turbalığı ve çevresinden başka hiçbir yerde bulunmayan taksonlardan oluşmaktadır.
Ağaçbaşı Turba Bataklığını ehemmiyetli kılan alansal büyüklüğü, endemik çeşitleri yanında, bölgenin ekolojik ve de iklimsel geçmişi konusunda 9.000 senelik devasa bir malumat hazinesini bünyesinde barındırmasıdır.
Alanda görülen mevcut nebat örtüsü Türkiye’ de epey seyrek bulanan veyahut Ağaçbaşı ve çevresinden (Barma, Yılanataş vd.) başka yerde bulunmayan taksonlardan ve türlerden oluşmaktadır. Hem turba hem de üzerinde mevcut dünya ölçeğinde seyrek nebat çeşitleri, alanın biyolojik rezerv olarak korunmasını mecburî kılmaktadır.
Trabzon Parma Yaylası Turbalığı, 25 Kasım 2019 tarihli Resmi Gazete’de yer alan 1809 sayılı Cumhurbaşkanı Kararı ile “potansiyel doğal sit koruma statüsü’nün değerlendirilmesi sonucunda “Kesin Korunacak Hassas Alan” olarak tescil ve ilan edilmiştir.

(Translated by Google) We found and arranged our place on the Internet for our Black Sea trip. The price was very affordable. Since we went in the dark in the evening, the road was a little scary, but we felt better when we went down during the day. The breakfast was very good, our room was spotless, the atmosphere was nice, the environment was nice, the staff were attentive and good, we were very pleased, thank you, we are glad we found it and went, it is definitely a place that should stand out, it is 10 times better compared to the high prices around Uzungol, see you next time we are on the road ✨️💮

The Soumela Monastery is a museum showcasing the religious history of a monastery that was active for centuries until 1925. Although it has reopened after extensive maintenance, visitors must prepare for a challenging trek from the parking area or pay for transportation. The entrance fee is relatively expensive at 75 tl, and there are no food courts available on site. The steep and narrow stairs may pose difficulties for elderly or unwell individuals.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Use the restroom before you get on the shuttle. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth seeing. Others may not think so much. There’s no food court at the monster sorry and the stairs are quite steep and narrow. Elderly or poor health may have a lot of trouble.

Beautiful monastery, the renovations are still on but we can still see some beautiful frescoes.
Today November 6th, the weather was very nice; it was showing 12°C but the feeling was 15°C.
The entrance per adult 125TL, but the parking is 4km away from the monastery that you can go free by walk. But you need to pay fees for the parking and optional shuttle bus to go upstairs.
Believe me....worth it!
It took us 1h visit all overall.
Marwa Al Anis — Google review
It has very easy access and is at the entrance of the parking lot. The price of the entrance ticket is reasonable, which is actually the cost of the transfer to the main place of the church, but the price of the entrance ticket to the church is somewhat expensive for foreigners. Although it is a very beautiful place in the heart of nature with a very beautiful view. I can't judge whether it's worth seeing for everyone, but it wasn't a bad experience
Sajjad Jokar — Google review
It was a nice spot with a spectacular views and no words to explain the beauty of old architecture however the place is not that big and the road to it was narrow.
Mohammed Alsulaimi — Google review
A place to go, it's almost magical, first the road to go there is very good, the landscape is amazing, going upstream the river between the mountains.
Once you finally arrive onsite you have to walk 350m (if you took the small bus) in a peaceful environment, berry green and very beautiful.
Then you discover the monastery, it's being restored, the place is very clean and in good condition.
The paintings are well preserved, except the faces as usual. If you're on the area, it's a place to go.
Timoth?e Boyer — Google review
So many stairs to go up to the actual place. walking on stairs for 10 minutes up and down to go reach. once you reach you buy tickets and go up another set of stairs. The time i visisted it was so crowded we took 30 minutes after getting our tickets just to go in. Check for weather, if it’s cloudy everything will be foggy and you won’t see anything. also note that the stairs inside the monastery are very small and are very tall. no space for your foot to fit and the distance in height between each step is very unusual. It’s very tiring for people with regular stamina. if rainy avoid going because some paths to go to the monastery are rocks with no proper steps. It was very slippery when i visited i’ve seen countless people tripping and falling

Went on a Sunday morning around 9:30am. Was not that busy but it starts to get really busy after 10:30am due to tour buses / groups arriving so plan to arrive early if you want to avoid crowds :)
Be ready for lots of walking. 300 TL per person. Views of the mountains / surrounding areas from the monastery are amazing. Nice place to visit if you are in Trabzon.

About 50 minutes away from Trabxon, the sumela Monastry is tucked high up in the mountain tops. There's signage all the way from trabzon through to the monastry. It is a pleasant drive and very easy to find. I particularly enjoyed driving through the town Macka. Once at the entrance, purchase an entry ticket to the museum then continue driving to the parking area. You'll have purchase a bus ticket as that's the only way to the monastry. It can be quite crowded at times, but the historic architecture makes it well worth the trip. Exploring the monastry takes anywhere between 40 minutes to an hour. It depends on how deeply you immerse yourself in the incredible history as well as marvel at the ancient monastry. I recommend visiting this place as it gives you a glimpse of the past and allows you to appreciate the history. Wear comfortable shoes as There's quite a bit of walking to be done. During the winter and early spring, temperatures plummet, so carry a jacket. It's quite nippy despite the walking.
Rizwana Alli — Google review
Openned after long time bue to maintenance.
You may walk for almost 350 mtrs from the parking area or pay a car fair about 10 tl.
There is afair of 75 tl ticket to enter as well.
Walking is a bit tuff, you should be prepair for the rain as well.
Farooq AlQattan — Google review
It was a tiring road to the monastery itself but it was worth it. From down the mountain there are vans ready where you buy a ticket there and back it is a reasonable price and they take you to a certain point where you then take the stairs to the monastery. A lovely monastery that has been beautifully restored. What I miss is that they would possibly put a view terrace on the mountain opposite in the future.

Awesome, unique place. Professional photographs of this place are much more stunning than what you may experience. It's not easy to get a good vantage point outside this place. Most of the tour is behind the facade facing the valley. However, the ancient church and icons are amazing. This place is a national treasure for Turkey. I only gave it 4 stars because it is so commercialized and controlled. You have to pay to park, pay to get a ride up, pay an entrance fee... And the hiking trail is closed if you want to enjoy the nature a bit. I would not travel to the Trabzon area for this place alone. Worth putting a trip together if you can string together multiple sites/activities in the region.

Very beautiful piece of history and amazing how this structure exists high in the mountain. Be prepared to do a lot of walking here and if you come during warm weather bring a hat and water. The hard walking is worth the view from up top. I definitely recommend coming here if you are in Trabzon.
Friendly Notary — Google review
Very beautiful historical place, you need to choose the right time as weather may obstruct you from seeing clearly the place and the surroundings. I went at around 17:00 and spent an hour there. Road is very good and well maintained, unlike other tourist attractions in Trabzon. You need to be ready to walk and climb ladders which might be little hard for those who are not used to do frequent exercise. Noticed they put 300 TL sticker on entry ticket price whereas the original price is 125 TL.
Overall it is worth the visit and it is one of the top 5 attractions that you should visit while you are in Trabzon.

Beautiful natural scenery and stunning views. A lot of walking and many stairs to climb. The place is too crowded especially during afternoon hours making it hard to walk comfortably. Tickets are pricey (450TL per person).

The entrance fee is 10$ and it is free twice with a museum card. Vehicles are not allowed near the monastery. You will have to climb a 4 kilometer hill or use ring vehicles.
A must see. Wonderful

Excellent site to visit, albeit a bit overpriced. Gives you a good look at the frescos of the time periods when built, shame they have been defaced over the years, and the graffiti is very disrespectful. Overall a unique site with historical significance. Highly recommend a trip to see.
Bill Duster — Google review
A lot of history here, but its a money making place. You pay 450tl (£12.85) each to get in. They then charge you to use the toilets and the cans of soft drinks are 3 times more expensive than anywhere else.
Vandals have carved their names in the frescoes and defaced a beautiful piece of history. It's set high in the mountains, and is very scenic
Tina Waddle — Google review
In my trip I planned to visit the spectacular place and I say it is really worth it.✌✅
Unfortunately the day we visited there, the weather was foggy so may be the photos are not clear enough, but we enjoyed that so much.
The entrance was 450 lira and 30 lira for transportation which is alot but what is the choice 😉.
Totally recommended for you love history.

We went there in summer, if the sky is not cloudy be ready for hot weather. Recommend to wear sport shoes as you will be going up and down on wood and stone steps. As you reach there you have to park you car for fees and then ride minibus for 27 lira per person takes you close to Sumela Monastery and then you walk on steps for 350 m. If you want to enter you have to buy a ticket for 450 lira pp. Facilities: there are cafe and WC down where you parked, also before the entrance. Make sure there are too many steps (old people should be careful for their health condition)

We visited mid-June 2023. 300TL for foreigners / free with Museum Card. We arrived as it opened (0800). There are two car parks (30TL per hour) - we parked at the one just outside of the main part (you cannot take your car to the top) and bought a return minibus ticket (55TL for two). You can of course walk the 3km to the top and back for free.
There are a lot of steps and the climb is not always gentle. Wear good trainers. Get in as it opens and ignore the first little Monastery on your right. This means you can get to the frescos ahead of the crowds and take the photos you came for.
There is a cafe and some toilets (you pay to use them) and some seating too.
Bottom line - it is well worth a visit, but get there early to avoid the crowds.

Illuminated chambers with dripstone formations & stalactites, viewable from a wooden walkway.
We arrived around 9.30am on a Saturday morning. We had the whole cave to ourselves until we were just about to exit. The sight is stunning. It is nice and cool in the cave. You are permitted to take photos so long as you dont use flash :) It is definitely a place to see. The view on the outside is also beautiful :) food and drinks can be purchased from the kiosks and enjoyed in seating areas.

Beautiful natural cavern, but not worth making a trip for. If it is on your way and you have time, stop by, but the cave is not too big. We expected to spend a few hours there, but the entire stay was only about 30 minutes. The worker selling tickets was very rude and was unwilling to give student prices for those who were clearly school aged children. The pictures show almost the entire cavern, so visit only if you need something to do or really want to see for yourself!

A very long drive if you’re staying around caykara and those areas, about a 3 hour drive to get to the cave.

But only downside is that it’s a bit small so within a good 10 minutes you will be more than done with the cave. If you live or you are staying close by it’s worth going to if not it’s not worth driving multiple hours to go to.

The way to the place is not easy and you need to pay attention as you climb the mountain with your car.

We stopped by on our way back from karaja cave. There are seating places for picnics, a restaurant, and some wooden playground area for young kids. There is a small entrance fee. Cost of small tea pot was 180 TL

Quite a journey to get here. A good place if you have kids and want to relax. Not a place for avid hikers. A small lake with a path and restaurant.

Small lake, location and quietness is something to look for, but it's small to consider and the tickets at reasonable price. Tables scattered around the place to sit at. The weather was foggy with some scattered showers but it was still enjoyable.
Cottages there acts as small restaurants I didn't like, since you're requested to eat something while sitting, drinks not enough!

Very beautiful park at the top of mountain where you can have an amazing view to other mountains and clouds. The park contains all services from car park to restaurant and restrooms. There is a fantastic small lake , play area for kids , Masjid for pray , wooden chairs and tables for picnics , so nice place I highly recommend . but be careful driving up and down the mountain specially in cloudy weather.

Park is phenomenal and really cheap. We went in a sprinter for a total of 63 liras which was nice. A lot of playgrounds scattered around the park for kids to play, you’ve got ice cream kiosks and a nice restaurant close to the entrance of the park, their service was good and prices were nice but only thing is that the food isn’t filling so feel free to order 2 plates for yourself in order to feel full. Other than that an amazing park to be go to with your family with great views and amazing weather!

Beautiful lake with ducks and geese, some picnic tables around it and some small playgrounds with swings, slides, and seesaws.
There's a restaurant, an ice cream (dundurma) stand, and a gift shop.
There's a parking lot with a plenty of parking spots.
The weather was nice in mid-August.

We went to this park to barbecue, However, it was not allowed. We ordered lunch there and it was delicious and reasonably priced. The road to it from Foleya Mountain resort was being built so it was a mess for the car as it got covered in dust!
(Translated by Google) It's a perfect place. There are 7 lakes, we visited all of them and each of them is given 5 stars. It is impossible not to admire that nature. The round trip from where the cars were left is 9km on foot. We took 20,000 steps because we visited all the lakes. Go knowing this, and my advice is not to take too much equipment with you, as walking is more tiring than walking.
(Original)
Mükemmel bir yer 7 tane göl var hepsini gezdik ve hepsine ayrı ayrı 5 yıldız verilir. O doğaya hayran kalmamak mümkün değil arabaların bırakıldığı yerden yaya olarak gidiş dönüş 9km biz bütün gölleri gezdiğimiz için 20.000 adım atmışız bunu bilerek gidin ve tavsiyem yanınıza çok fazla malzeme almayın yokuş çıkıldığı için yürümek değil de malzemeler daha çok yoruyor.

(Translated by Google) Artabel Lakes National Park is a place too beautiful and full to be described with videos and photos. Everywhere is a waterfall, everywhere is a lake. There is a large glacial lake at an altitude of 2 thousand 720 meters. In addition to three large glacial lakes in total, there are many large and small lakes and dozens of waterfalls.
The highest point of the city, Abdalmusa peak with an altitude of 3 thousand 331 meters, is also here.
Of course, there are those who take things like plastic bottles, forks, glasses and bags with them and throw them away, those who draw shapes and write on the stones in this protected place with spray paint, and those who light a fire and leave it there. The lakes can only be reached on foot. (If a vehicle road is built, it will undoubtedly turn into our garbage-filled picnic areas within a few years. That's why it's a good thing that there is no road.)
The national park has a very large area. One day may not be enough to visit the whole thing if you don't have a guide. Although the national park is the most popular place in Gümüşhane, your route may get longer, you may get confused or even get lost, as there are no route poles, signs or signs. You need to plan well to be able to visit all the lakes and waterfalls.

Artabel gölleri milli parkı video ve fotoğraflarla anlatılmayacak kadar güzel ve dolu bir yer. Her yer şelale, her yer göl. 2 bin 720 metre rakımda büyük buzul göl var. Toplamda üç büyük buzul gölün yanı sıra irili ufaklı çok sayıda göl ve onlarca şelale var.
Şehrin en yüksek noktası olan 3 bin 331 metre rakımlı Abdalmusa zirvesi de burada.
Giderken yanında plastik şişe, çatal, bardak, poşet gibi malzemeleri götürüp atanlar, sprey boya ile koruma altındaki bu yerde taşlara şekil çizip yazı yazanlar, ateş yakıp öylece bırakanlar tabiki var. Göllere, sadece yürüyerek varılabiliyor. (Araç yolu yapılırsa bir kaç yıl içinde çöple dolu piknik alanlarımıza döner şüphesiz. O yüzden yol olmaması isabet olmuş)
Milli park çok geniş bir alana sahip. Tamamını gezmek için bir gün yetmeyebilir eğer ki rehberiniz yoksa. Milli park Gümüşhane’ nin en gözde yeri olmasına rağmen herhangi bir rota direği, levha, işaret gibi bir şey yapılmadığı için rotanız uzayabilir, karışabilir, hatta kaybolabilirsiniz. Tüm gölleri ve şelaleleri gezebilmeniz için iyi planlama yapmanız gerekir.

(Translated by Google) It's really perfect... It can be reached by car up to a certain point. It can be reached by following the beautiful and pleasant stream path (via Gülaçara). Alternative routes can also be used. It is quite pleasant to go to the top with the smell of mountains and wildflowers. The first lake is at an altitude of 2700 meters. 2900 meters starry lake at the summit...
You should have food with you throughout the walk. You can make and eat ice cream by bringing snow and molasses to the summit.
You'll want to get right to the top. (🇹🇷 approximately 3330 meters🇹🇷)
🏞️ please let's protect these beauties 🏞️
In summary;
Have a Place at the Top
(Original)
Gerçekten mükemmel... Belli bir noktaya kadar aracla çıkılabilir. Güzel ve keyifli dere yolu takip edilerek (Gülaçara üzerinden) gidilebilir. Alternatif güzergahlar da kullanılabilir. Dağ ve kır çiçekleri kokusu ile zirveye çıkmak oldukça hoş. İlk göl 2700 metre rakımda. Zirvede 2900 metre yıldızlı göl...
Yürüyüş boyunca yanınızda yiyecek bulundurmalı. Zirvede kar ile pekmez götürerek dondurma yapıp yiyebilirsiniz.
Tam zirveye çıkmak isteyeceksiniz. (🇹🇷 yaklaşık 3330metre🇹🇷)
🏞️ lütfen bu güzellikleri koruyalım 🏞️
Özetle;
Zirvede Yeriniz Olsun

(Translated by Google) I have traveled by Artabel more than once. It has a great atmosphere for nature lovers. The first week of July is the ideal time. A must see for wonderful experiences with lakes, peaks, valleys, cliffs and vegetation.
(Original)
Artabel tarafından birden fazla kez gezdim. Doğaseverler için harika atmosferi var. Temmuz ayının ilk haftası en ideal zaman. Göller , zirveler, vadiler, kayalıklar ve bitki örtüsü ile şahane deneyimler için mutlaka görülmeli

(Translated by Google) After about an hour's drive from Gümüşhane Center, after passing through Artebel Village and reaching the destination of the car, the real adventure begins. The rest of the way continues walking. The walk continues with the perfect view from the streamside. After approximately 2 hours of walking, the first lakes are reached. It is necessary to take a 2-hour walk to see the other lakes and to climb to the top. It is a MUST-do journey for those who want to have an unforgettable experience with its nature, air, water and view. You can also stay in the mountains by bringing tents and other equipment.
(Original)
Gümüşhane Merkez den yaklaşık bir saatlik araba yolcuğundan sonra Artebel Köyünden geçtikten sonra arabanın gideceği yere kadar ulaştıktan sonra asıl macera başlıyor. Yolun kalanı yürüme devam ediliyor. Yürüme dere kenarından mükemmel manzara eşliğinde de dewam ediyor. yaklaşık 2 saatlik yürüyüşten sonra ilk göllere ulaşılıyor. Diğer gölleri görmek ve zirveye çıkmak için de 2 saatlik bir yürüyüş yapmak gerekiyor. Doğası, havası, suyu ve manzarasıyla unutulmaz bir deneyim yaşamak isteyenlerin MUTLAKA yapması gereken bir yolculuk. Çadır vb ekipmanlar götürülerek dağda da kalınabilir.

(Translated by Google) I usually go there twice a year, I know every region step by step. It is an extraordinary place. It is not possible to visit them all in one day. There are 3 routes from Gulacar Bay, Guustug Village and Dagdibi Village. They all have different goals. I recommend it to everyone. It is one of the must-see places.

Genelde yılda 2 kere çıkarım her bölgesini adım adım bilirim olağanüstü bir yer hepsini bir günde gezmek mümkün değil gulacar koyunden gumustug köyünden birde dagdibi köyünden 3adet rota var hepsinde ayrı ayrı goller var herkese tavsiyem görülmesi gereken yerlerden biri

(Translated by Google) It is a must-see place with an area of 58,590 decares, containing 22 lakes of various sizes, and where you can see many ruins from ancient times with the naked eye. I went three times in a month and would go that many more times if I had the opportunity. Since it can be reached by vehicle to a certain point, its texture has not been damaged (I hope the road will not be built and the texture will not be damaged 🙏🏻)
(Original)
58.590 dekarlık alana sahip, irili ufaklı bünyesinde 22 tane göl barındıran, eski zamanlardan bir çok kalıntıyı çıplak gözle görebileceğiniz mutlaka gidip görülmesi gereken bir yer. Bir ay içinde üç kere gittim ve fırsatım olsa bi o kadar daha giderdim. Araçla belli bir noktaya kadar gidilebildiği için dokusu bozulamamış (Umarım yolu yapılmaz ve dokusu bozulmaz 🙏🏻)

(Translated by Google) A wonderful untouched national park of Gümüşhane. Would it be better if I didn't share these photos? I am not sure ;)

Gümüşhane'mizin el değmemiş harika bir milli parkı. Bu fotoğrafları paylaşmasam daha mı iyi olurdu? Emin değilim ;)
