This is the heart of Kars: stone buildings, wide avenues, a castle on one side and the Kars River on the other. The busiest hour and the quietest hour both happen in Merkez, depending on the day. Wander the market, linger at the castle's foot, or just cross from one street to the next — it's all within reach. Too many options scrambling your head? Throw the dice, pick a direction, walk that way. Merkez won't leave you empty-handed.
