It’s worth pausing briefly at this simple agricultural settlement just inland from Çıldır Lake to look at the old mosque which was attached to the remains of a 13th-century Armenian church. Minus its dome and any decorative features, the church makes for fairly grim viewing. You’re unlikely to be able to find the key to look inside.
Mines are scattered in some of the fields close to the Armenian border so don’t wander away from the village.
Sleeping
There are no places to stay in the village.
Transport info
Public transport is not timed to suit tourists – you will probably need to hire a taxi in Arpaçay.
