Kardelen Bungalov Evleri̇

We stayed for three non-consecutive nights and stored our bags with Kardelen for another two during a week-long hiking holiday around the Kaçkar mountains. I honestly don't know what more we could have asked for: the bungalow cabins are small but pleasant, with plenty of hot water and comfortable beds; the food is excellent, with breakfast an extensive Turkish-style spread of cheeses, salads and eggs; and Nadir Demirci and his family are some of the most courteous people you can meet in an area already renowned for its hospitality. Nadir is also an excellent local guide and his valuable advice ensured we trekked safely and saw the magnificent sights of the local mountains. What a treat. We'll definitely be back.
