Good to Know
- From the hotel
- 24.68 km
Artvin Castle stands on a hill overlooking the Çoruh Valley. The position is no accident: it commands the road through the valley and is straightforward to defend.
Because the region changed hands many times over the centuries, the walls carry traces of different periods. What remains standing today shows only part of the castle's original extent.
The real reward is the view: from here the breadth of the Çoruh Valley and the way Artvin is built into its slope can be taken in at once.
It lies 24.68 kilometres from Pera Boutique Hotel and fits naturally into a day trip to the city centre.
