Erzurum
is the biggest city of the Eastern Anatolian Region
and is also a very ancient settlement place. As
the city is established at the skirts of Palandöken
Mountain, the city had gained great importance in
the field of winter tourism during the recent years.
The city houses numerous historically rich works
of art and therefore the city is like a cultural
center having the major potential for tourism.
