FTFE099: Your Guide to Ani Harabeleri near Kars, Turkey!

FTFE099 : Ani Harabeleri near Kars, Turkey - Part 2 Ani was once a thriving ancient capital of the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia with nearly 100,000 residents. After the kingdom collapsed, Ani experienced a long history of war, looting, vandalism, capture, and transfer of power. Situated on the eastern Turkish province Kars and bordering Armenia, the Ani site is open to the public for visiting. LITTLE RECAP: After completing our 2 week Black Sea road trip, I wanted more of Eastern Turkey! I have always has a list of places to visit, but due to some crazy COVID restrictions, it's put us behind on our travels. COVID has forced us to last minute travel plan, and I have to say… I am loving it. Our Black Sea Road Trip was planned just a mere 10 days before we left. And this trip was somewhat similar!  Our 2020 trip to Uludağ with friends didn’t pan out this year, leaving us wide open to exploring other locations. Some other friends of ours are prolific skiers and they suggested we look into ski resort over near Erzurum and Kars. So we did! And of course... in usual 'Catie' fashion, we can't just 'go skiing'! We wanted to see some of the other sites around Kars as well!
