Ardahan
Small city in northeastern Turkey close to the Georgian border, Ardahan sits near scenic highland terrain and serves as a transit point for travellers heading into Georgia. The provincial capital hosts Ardahan University and lies within reach of the tri-point where Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia meet. Sights within the city itself are limited, making it most useful as a stopover rather than a destination in its own right.
