Sights

Artvin is loacted on the eastern corner of the Turkish  Black Sea Region, 100 km south of the shore line from Hopa.  The best way to get there fly to  Trabzon and follow the coast line up to Hopa and turn  south.  The city of Artvin is located on a mountain, elevation of 1000m. The road to the city is very interesting, bends and sharp turns. But the view at the top is excellent!!! Over looking the Georgian Border to the east and  Çoruh River to the  south. This river is wildest in Turkey, like Colorado rRver in the USA. It is the most famous palce  for rafting, the current is 20mil/hr.  There are several companies offer the rafting trip at Yusufeli 30 km West along the River. Çoruk River flows to Georgia and meets its final desination at Batumi. Currently two dams are being built over the river.
