Property for Sale in Artvin

Artvin, in Northeast Turkey on the Corub river near the Georgian border, is a lovely district that is home to picturesque views of nature. Scattered around this region are lush forests, mountains and lakes, plateaus and rivers, as well as traditional wooden houses. This city is home to many Georgians, Kurds and Lazes. Artvin was ceded to Russia, along with the neighbouring region of Kars at the end of the Russo-Turkish War that lasted until 1878. It was returned back to Turkey after the signing of a treaty at Brest-Litovsk in 1918. Artvin is also known as Coruh, from the Coruh Neri or Lazin, from Lazistan or land of the Laz. Ascending in a series of terraces facing southwest, Artvin clings onto a steep hillside just above the mouth of the Coruh gorge. Artvin is also an excellent starting point for forays into the countryside which is home to some of the province’s many ruined Early Christian Churches. These are often off the oft-trodden road, accessible only by foot or along dust-covered dirt roads. ...
