We love the spring weather and the colors it adds to nature; but when the winter season comes, the pleasure of taking short trips to the snowy landscapes is completely different! We wanted to list the places we went and saw, where the white cotton snow suits us best.. Moreover, all of them are naturally social distance areas, suitable for our new travel order! Put on your coats, sweaters, boots and of course your camera, we are starting our list of 10 snowy destinations for winter holidays in Turkey!
10 ROUTES TO VISIT DOMESTIC IN WINTER
#1 KARS AND ITS RULES
/h3>
Kars, one of our favorite cities in Turkey, is one of the places where snow suits its Baltic-inspired architecture.. If you ask where we should go in winter with its many Russian architecture from the past to the present, beautifully preserved historical mansions and buildings and of course very delicious food, it would be the first city we would say.. We love Kars! Moreover, when it snows and everywhere is white, it becomes a much more beautiful city, even above your expectations.. Another route to which we associate the winter season very well with Kars is Ani Ruins.. It must be seen with its deep history, snow-covered ruins and the view of Arpaçay, which forms the border with Armenia.

#2 ARDAHAN ÇILDIR LAKE
Kars and Ani Ruins are on the list When we started with Çıldır Lake, we wanted to continue; because it contains one of the most beautiful experiences when it comes to winter travels.. You can walk in Çıldır Lake, which starts to freeze since the middle of December, and photograph very good views in the middle of a huge nothingness.. Walking on the frozen lake is an incredible experience with crackling sounds with every step you take! Imagine, two months ago this place was water!

#3 VAN AKDAMAR ISLAND
You can see Akdamar Island of Van in all seasons; but if you are lucky in winter and the boats are running that day, you will witness a perfect view that you can come across 3-5 times a year at most.. It is also very beautiful with the pink flowers of the almond trees that bloom in the spring, but its snowy appearance is completely different! Located in the middle of Tatvan and Van, Akdamar Island is the home of the circular church built 1000 years ago.. A similar church is located in the Ani Ruins of Kars.
#4 BOLU AND NATIONAL PARKS
Bolu is one of the most beautiful nature routes of our country with its many national parks.. It is a place where we will never get bored of going and feel as if we are going for the first time every season with its colors that change every season, its social distances and its nature with plenty of oxygen.. Especially when you want to make a snowy trip, definitely add Bolu to your plans.. Yedigöller National Park, Bolu Gölcük Nature Park and Abant National Park are our favorites on this route. A little reminder; Do not forget to check the road condition before turning the wheel to Bolu!

#5 RİZE ÇAMLIHEMŞİN
Çamlıhemşin is by far one of our favorite places in Turkey! He really does not know whether to look at human nature, walk in a tea field, examine historical mansions, visit mini-mini venues, go to the highlands or eat those extremely delicious meals! Especially in 2020, Çamlıhemşin is one of the most suitable points for the desire to mix with nature, which we need so much.. We think every season is beautiful, try seeing it in winter once and staying in a bungalow!
#6 RİZE HIGHLANDS
Eastern Black Sea and Rize Highlands are among our autumn favourites; however, we can no longer resist the snow-covered nature of the Rize highlands, which are also open to transportation in winter! Snow starts to come to the highlands from mid-November.. It reaches its thickest point in January – February.. Even if the highland roads are closed in some periods depending on the intensity of snowfall, you can get information about the road condition by contacting the business you plan to stay on on the date you plan to go.. Take a break from the lush view of the Black Sea, this time to see when the target is white!
#7 ARTVİN BORÇKA KARAGÖL
Speaking of the Black Sea, let’s go a little further and add Artvin to the list! You may remember Borcka Karagol from its lush photos, it must have appeared before you.. Well, have you ever thought about how this lake would be in winter? It is exactly as in the photo, white! If the road is open, if there is an entrance to the park, the white Borcka Karagol view is yours, enjoy it!

#8 CAPPADOCIA
